It's now Tuesday morning at ApacheCon and I'm proud to admit I've been pretty lame on the party front so far. It feels great though, I went to bed at 10:30 last night and slept until 9:30 this morning. I pretty much crashed after having such a hectic schedule the last couple of day.
On Saturday night, I was up until 4:00 a.m. cranking out Chapter 10 of Spring Live. I got back up at 7:30 and almost finished it by noon. At 1:00, I arrived at Denver's No Fluff Just Stuff, and moderated a BOF on Comparing Web Frameworks. Then at 2:00, I did a session on AppFuse. Following that, I spent 2 hours finishing up Chapter 10 and sent it off to for editing. 18 pages in 18 hours - oof.
After sending off my chapter, I headed home and had dinner with the family before heading to the airport at 7:00. We arrived in Vegas at 10:30 and went to the
Hard Rock for beers. I didn't have any cash so I borrowed some from Jim. After 10 minutes of Blackjack, I was up $120, so I paid Jim back and called it a night. I got heckled as I left the Hard Rock at 3:00 a.m.
Yesterday (Monday), I woke up at 8:30 with a raging hangover. Damn wine chasers - don't seem to work for beer. Bruce didn't take any, got 3 hours of sleep and felt fine. My talk was at 11:00 and I managed to stifle the hangover about 5 minutes before it. The talk went well and the room was packed. The room I was in probably fits around 100 people. After the talk, I grabbed some lunch with Scott, Jim, Jonathan, Howard and his wife.
After lunch, Dion interviewed me for TheServerSide and at 3:00, I had a meeting with the SourceBeat guys, and had some beers with Michael Koziarski around happy hour. Then I hit an ApacheCon sponsored free-beer thing and later headed to the "Pink Taco" with Jonathan and Dave. I could barely stay awake after dinner, so headed to bed early.
Today, I plan on attending a few sessions and possibly doing some gambling this evening. Sure is nice not having any commitments for the rest of the week. I have a few meetups with folks, but nothing that requires preparation.
