It is now 10:30 PM.
I made it to the dinner in reasonable time. It was at the same place as the last time I was out to dinner with this group. Nice Thai on Merivale Road, across from Canadian Tire.
After catching up a bit, we headed over to the OCLUG meeting. I […]

I have just finished the first pass of processing BSDCan Registrations. If you are registered, you should have your confirmation now. If you do not, then something has gone wrong. Most likely candidates are:

You did not pay

You paid, but for some reason I cannot connect your payment with your registration

Someone else paid […]

Since my last post, I have moved from Cora’s to Starbucks. This Starbucks, on Conventry Road, near Canadian Tire, is much nicer than St Laurent.
Lately, I have:

Reviewed a second set of proofs for the BSDCan t-shirt and the first set of proofs for the PGCon t-shirt.

spoken with U of O residence regarding 24 rooms […]

It is Tuesday morning. One week before the gathering of the early birds for BSDCan 2008. It is 10:30 AM and I’m sitting in Cora’s at St Laurent and Belfast. They have wireless here. And believe me, it smells much better than the Starbucks at St Laurent and Smyth. Saturday […]

I was not feeling good in the morning. I have no idea why, but I had one lousy headache. I felt nauseous and crappy. I stayed in bed and dozed for an hour or two. By 9:30, I got up and had a bit to eat. Still felt bad. […]

It was 5:30 AM when I awoke. No alarm necessary. I just woke up. It was daylight out. I didn’t go back to sleep. So I decided it was time to go. To my surprise, 5 of my neighbours were assembled in a grassy median area just outside my […]

For several years now, people have been asking me how to run conferences. I keep telling them I don’t know anything about running conferences, but I know what I like to have at conferences I attend, so I just make sure those things are at my conferences. Yes, that’s a rather flippant remark, […]

I am staying in the Hampton Inn at Jonesville, NC. This morning I was in Ottawa. That’s about 1400km north of here. My friend on my journey was a Garmin Nuvi 250. And there are about 1165km to go.
The conferences are over (BSDCan & PGCon), all the gear is packed up, […]

There will be a PostgreSQL Conference in May 2007. I’ll definintely be there! I’m looking forward to this.
It’s right after a BSD conference. There will be quite a few people attending both conferences. One trip, two conferences, a great time.

I’m in the midst of the first days of BSDCan, so why I am writing about Bacula? Because I found this description of what someone new to Bacula thinks about it. FWIW, they are changing from Amanda to Bacula.
