As I was looking through old Ontario Technoblog posts to see if I had previously blogged about the Oracle OpenWorld blogger dinners (I didn't attend the 2005 or 2006 editions, but I thought I might have blogged about them), I ran across this post that was partially based upon material by Jared (who attended in 2005, but didn't attend in 2006; not sure if he'll be there in 2007).
Here's part of what Jared said:
Like any good technophile my journey started well before my flight left. Deciding on thing like:
How many laptops should I bring?
...
What other things should I bring?
...
Where am I staying?
Well, let me answer those questions for this year's model:
- I am bring one laptop, but it's a good one. For the first time in about 20 years, my computer was replaced with a NEW computer (rather than a hand-me-down). The thing seems to be running well, and the wireless is working if necessary.
- I don't think it's a secret that I'll be bringing my cell phone. Interestingly enough, back in 2006 I was at Oracle OpenWorld for such a short time that I didn't even bring a computer, just the cell phone (even though it was a recent acquisition). However, I've better mastered its use, and will therefore be able to tweet, blog, and flickr to my heart's content (although I still haven't been able to simultaneously blog and flickr - oh well).
- For the second year in a row I'm staying in the Union Square area, but not in the same hotel. This makes things much, much better - especially since my nightly KCBS radio session (the one advantage of standard time) seemed to indicate some rain in San Francisco next week.
