The preliminary PGCon 2009 schedule has been released.
PGCon is the premiere PostgreSQL conference. It is simply the best place to meet other PostgreSQL people and learn more. The talks are absolutely amazing, not to mention the great social atmosphere.
If you’re looking to hire any PostgreSQL talent, PGCon is the place to be. […]

I finally picked up Emma Jane.
The goal was to escort her from Portland airport to downtown upon her arrival. This was Emma’s first trip to Portland. I think I’ve been here 3 or 4 times now. This was planned for 2:30 PM on Monday. At about 1:10pm, I get a phone […]

I meant to include these tid bits in the prevoius post:

Johna is an awesome rider for someone that’s never gone off road before.
Shortly after we fixed Gabrielle’s single speed problem, my rear disc brake developed a very loud scraping sound. I’d heard it once before. The little clippy thing on the Avid […]

Giday!
I’m in Portland, for OSCON. I arrived Friday night. Saturday morning, I headed north into Washington to do some mountain biking. The trip leader was Gabrielle. She led Jonatha Leto and me into the Siouxon Creek Trail. This is described by the locals as rolling single track. Umm, yes. […]

This morning I met the tourists at the residence lobby. While there I returned the internet access device that U of O had loaned me. At first, they could not find my ID that I’d left as security. They called me 30 minutes later to say they’d found it.
We walked over to […]

Yesterday was the last day of PGCon. The closing session started late and finished early.
We didn’t run off an auction. We didn’t have much stuff.
We were out of the building within 20 minutes of the talks ending and I was at the Royal Oak pub by 6pm. I stayed until 9:30 or […]

After my previous post, I headed off to the EnterpriseDB dinner at the Velvet Room. The food was great. The open bar, fantastic. The servers were good at their jobs.
I sat with Danielle, Willie, Jan, and Julie. Ours was the first able to eat.
I stayed until roughly 11pm, drinking scotch. […]

Day one started at about 5am for me. I was awake, without the alarm. Ready to go.
I was out of the house by 5:50 am and into Cora’s by 6:10. On the way I deposited a cheque. Or rather, I tried to. I was at my personal bank, not my […]

It is now 10:02pm. I’m home.
After my last post, I went down to the Yahoo! sponsored event. The place was packed. All the free drink tickets were gone. I was too late for that.
I did get a ticket for the Wii raffle. I didn’t win.
I had a beer. Talked […]

This morning I awoke at about 7am and left the house about 8am. A stop at Starbucks and I was down at the Tutorial location by 8:15.
First major problem. Signage. A sign was left in the tutorial room over night and it was not there in the morning. I contacted the […]
