Off to the Conference Tomorrow

I haven’t been writing much lately. In fact, I think this may be the longest gap I have had in the last year between postings. And this isn’t some meaty MySQL post either. Two days ago I got back from a nice trip to Seattle with my wife and youngest child. So the two coast-to-coast flights in six days was preparation for my next trip tomorrow morning. I will be heading to Santa Clara/San Jose for a meeting (you know .. put on by the company some people think are paying me ) with Kickfire to take a long look at the MySQL data warehousing product they are bringing to market soon. This will be my first hands on experience with the product and I am looking forward to it. Afterwards I think I and the others involved will have a much better idea of what Kickfire is going to be able to produce.

So when I get home on the 18th I will have flow four times across the country in two weeks. Did I mention I just love being shoved in a long metal tube with more than a hundred people I don’t know with my knees shoved up around my neck and the person sitting next to me probably sick (oh wait..that has been me this time )?

Looking forward to the conference. Look me up if you want! Looking forward to meeting some of the readers of the magazine.
