Day 2 started with an ACE panel session. There were more ACEs than attendees, but we all had fun chatting to each other. I guess one of the difficulties with this was it ran along side regular presentations, but such is life.
Straight after that it was the second part of my PL/SQL Presentation Layers session. [...]
One of the few advantages of such long flights as UK to New Zealand is you get plenty of time to read.
I’ve mentioned several times that I’ve struggled to find something to follow the Discworld series. Several people recommended The Dresden Files series so I went out and bought the first few books. I tried [...]
The day started in the normal way. First, an introduction by Francisco, the new president of NZOUG, then some keynotes, then on to the presentations…
One of the difficult things about being a speaker at so many conferences is you often struggle to see something on the agenda you have not already seen several times around the [...]
I walked off the 7 hour flight to Dubai, straight on to the 13+ hour flight to Melbourne. I got a 1 hour rest at Melbourne while they cleaned the plane, before I started the 3+ hour flight to Auckland. I got to Auckland at about 14:00 where I was met by one of my [...]
Today is the day I fly to New Zealand to present at the NZOUG conference.

Bye the way, [...]
A couple of days ago I was sorting a printer out for my mom. It was a 5 minute job, but it was preceded by over 2 hours of getting the laptop up to date…
She only turns it on to do a specific task, like send an email, then it is switched straight off, so [...]

I’ve had a problem with my heel for a few weeks and what I suspected was an ear infection for a couple of weeks, but I’ve avoided going to the doctors because I hate it. I never used to be [...]
