What’s good enough for Niall<\/a> is good enough for me … Here’s my agenda for the UKOUG conference<\/p>\n

Sunday – Oak Table day<\/a>. Like Niall, I won’t be there at the start, but even half a day of this standard will add a lot to the conference for me. Then onto the volunteers meeting (apparently some free beer involved) then I think there might be an Oak Table organised social (more beer?).<\/p>\n

Monday – Focus pubs (more beer) then the Mark Rittman-organised, UKOUG-sponsored Bloggers dinner (free food\/more beer – possibly free?)<\/p>\n

Tuesday – Networking evening (more beer)<\/p>\n

Wednesday – Oh, dear, things start to happen …<\/p>\n

9:00 Introducing Connor McDonald’s Evolution of SQL and PL\/SQL whilst trying not to mention The Ashes. <\/p>\n

9:55 Introducing Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha’s ASH presentation<\/p>\n

11:35 Server Technology Panel (with Niall). The UKOUG invited me onto this along with what looks like a very smart bunch of people from Oracle …. and Niall.<\/p>\n

14:25 Introducing Carl Dudley’s Data Pump presentation. I’m particularly chuffed about this because I consider Carl to be a good friend and he always gives a good presentation. It’s always a tough gig presenting on Wednesday afternoon when people are drifting away, so come along and check it out. You’ll enjoy it.<\/p>\n

I’m sure there’s something missing from this last day …. ?<\/p>\n

P.S. For the more miserable amongst you – I’m kidding, of course.. Do you think I’d give up 3 days wages just for a drink?!?!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
