Awaiting 43 lb suitcase at bwi #
Having lebanese food in Baltimore. Then prob a bath and a nap. Surely a 3 hr flight didn’t make me this tired? #
Just stuffed myself on excellent food at the Lebanese Taverna in Baltimore. Will likely be back here this week, with a gang #
whoa. 3.5 hour nap. Who knew I’d get jet lag coming to Baltimore? #
editing video of a very lively speaker. Brendan Gregg is worse to chase around with a camera than Jeff Bonwick. I didn’t always keep up. #
@wendybiird for a minute there I read that as “6 hours closer to having a guilt trip done” in reply to wendybiird #

now to find out how many years it will take to upload a 770 MB video on hotel bandwidth #
…especially when the hotel is full of sysadmins here for #LISA09 #
@lbridenne76 upstream B/W at this hotel appears slower than at Sun’s Bangalore office. OTOH, hotel is probably not subject to power blinks in reply to lbridenne76 #

upload failed. I’m dying from not-surprise. #

1. I don’t think prayer accomplishes anything so 2. I see no point in praying for complete strangers, no matter their tragedy and…. #
3. I see even less point in telling the world that you’re doing so. Tho I do consider it a kind gesture when people I know pray for me… #
…unless, I suppose, they’re doing it because they think I’m going to burn in hell. #
@jscarp I’m not praying for you, but I am thinking of you. in reply to jscarp #

#LISA09 – Bryan Cantrill – “Visualizing DTrace: Sun Storage 7000 Analytics” http://bit.ly/19Whqh – will stream live 11am US East Coast time #
Ran into Sunay. The Crossbow BoF went on til 130 am! Birds of a feather indeed. good thing I shut the camera down and went to bed at 1130 #
phew, got a late check-out on the room. Too much to do to be hanging around in the lobby til time to go catch my train at 1:30 #
looks as if they switched the streams on me for Bryan: go to http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa09/stream1/ http://bit.ly/2IWWoZ #
Bryan Cantrill #lisa09 “Use DTrace in anger” #
@pschow Your’e welcome, but the A/V work is being done by Usenix folks – we just paid for it. I’m frustrated by the camera work… in reply to pschow #
damn, damn, damn. Don’t make me come down there and take over that camera. #
Bryan’s a fun speaker – http://bit.ly/2IWWoZ #
if everyone would just do things my way, the world would run much more smoothly. 😉 #
wanted to be in the room, but turns out to be a good thing I’m babysitting the stream – social media production! http://bit.ly/RRxLy #
“We are actually sadists at heart, the idea of torturing machines… thank god we’re in computing and not in biology.” Cantrill #lisa09 #
http://bit.ly/RRxLy – actually LOLling at Bryan – and you don’t have to be a geek to find him funny #
staff meeting with my new boss of boss. Nice to feel welcomed. Lotta people. #
@lskrocki why? looks like a relaxing creative outlet, and a nice change from the keyboard in reply to lskrocki #
On a train from Baltimore to dc. Niceto see fall foliage again #
