Perhaps I was a bit hasty in clicking Save yesterday 😉 I had planned to blog about both the Blogger’s Meet-up and Day Two, but ran out of time. The problem was that I forgot to fix the title of the post. Here was how day two was for me. The first presentation of the… Continue reading UKOUG Day 2

I managed to work on my presentation a bit yesterday afternoon. I was discussing this will Niall later on and there’s a point when you know you are going to be finished and you’ve broken the back of it, but you still have a lot of work to do. That’s where I am at the… Continue reading UKOUG Blogger Meet-up and Day Two

So, what to make of Openworld? Well,… Continue reading Back to reality …

The final day. I didn’t wake up until 5 and had a stack of emails relating to the performance problem I’m discussing at the moment. Once I’d got through those, I bumped into APC checking out of the hotel. He’ll be on his way to the airport now. I have to offer him a big… Continue reading OOW Day 5
