The Twitter Diaries: 2009-10-18: San Francisco
- alarm was set for 5, so of course I woke up at 4:30. And of course I got to the airport too early, and of course the flight is delayed. #
- Colleague on the same plane going to #oow09 to demo something that I know @reiger wants to see. I’ll get video for you ; ) #
- Speaking of video, total views of all 150 hrs I’ve done for Sun = 55k. Not bad for mostly extremely technical material. #
- Waiting for my bag at sfo. New suitcase is bright aqua – easy to spot! #
- @reiger what sort of hits? in reply to reiger #
- @deirdresm til the 19th, I’m i Menlo Weds & Thurs in reply to deirdresm #
- Even at an event this big, I instantly run into people I know. It’s possible I know too many people #
- @oracletechnet you around now? #
- Listening to mcnealy #oow09 top 10 innovations from Sun Inc Blackbox, ZFS, SunRay, open storage, E10k… #
- 216k sparc servers in the mkt. Mysql will continue just as innodb and sleepycat have. #
- Blue goes to red, and Larry’s on stage #
- “we will increase the rate of contribution to MySQL” #oow09 #
- Larry does not play nice with the competition. Fun! ; ) #
- @empoprises I’ll be in and out of the Sun booths today pls stop by and say hi! in reply to empoprises #

- As for me: “early next morning she woke up in bed, with a smile on her face and an ache in hear head…” #
- #oow09 keynote speaker lineup shows great diversity. I think there’s a lot to like about my future new employer! #
- Hmm. It appears I should learn golf or sailing. Or maybe flying. #
- #oow09 Katz on the importance of integration. $3 billion/yr in R&D.Phillips: Listening to what customers want. Me like! #
- #oow09 I wince when female execs joke about shopping and shoes. We’ve got enough stereotypes to fight – let’s not do it to ourselves #
- Show floor hasn’t even officially opened and the Sun booth is hopping #oow09 #

- Glad I wore a suit today. Yes, I did already own one. #
- #oow09 population seems even more skewed to male than most tech confs I’ve attended. On the upside, there’s never a line for the ladies’ rm #
- Mysterious booming roar coming from upstairs at moscone. A fleet of Ferraris? #
- Meeting up with lots of Sun peeps #oow09 This weekend will see a lot of my old videoblogging buds. All fun! #
- It’s very nice to have a chair, but I’m going to fall asleep in this dim, warm room. I’ll rest a little longer, then head back to the show #
- TPC-C with Sun FlashFire 27% better thruput, 16x better response time, 8x less rack space, 4x less power #oow09 #
- Filming demos at the Sun booth #oow09 #
- Sometimes It can be very useful to pretend that you don’t know you’re being insulted. Smile sweetly and keep asking the questions #

- @ThinGuy I was wearing red paisley rain boots most of yesterday. Maybe that accounted for… Hmm. in reply to ThinGuy #
- Spent most of yesterday on my feet in the booth. exhausting, but got 70 mins of footage – demos and interviews #
