Well, it’s definitely a cold. Made it to bed just after 1 after a party which had convinced me I was feeling better, only to wake up stuffed with the cold, completely convinced that I’d slept in. It was 4:45 🙁 Bizarrely, I feel fully refreshed sleep-wise, but blocked up with cold. Just one ‘normal’ day would be nice ….<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Jeremiah Wilton for herding Oak Table cats into two transports out of town and for showing up with these …<\/p>\n

The party was well worth it – tons of lovely food, excellent company and a few drinks here and there – and one snippet I did pick up is that Jonathan Lewis will be doing an Unconference<\/a> presentation at 10:00 this morning – “How to become an expert”<\/em>. Typical – decided to go up against Charles Phillips’ Keynote. Now far be it from me to say that he might even consider writing the presentation in the middle of a party, the night before, (Jonathan, I mean, not Charles) but if that was<\/em> true I think it’s in keeping with the informal spirit of the Unconference! At one point I tried to convince him in the middle of a run of funny stories that perhaps he should just do stand-up comedy for the hour. I also pointed out that perhaps he ought to stick to the Oracle-related presentations. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

As the Unconference rooms are fairly small, can I just point out that I will be attending and will be sharing my germs with everyone. Perhaps better if you stay away, in fact, and guarantee that I can find a seat. <\/p>\n

Disclosure: I’m attending this year’s Openworld Conference at the
\ninvitation of the Oracle ACE Director program, which is paying my
\ntravel and accommodation expenses. The time off work is my own choice.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
