See You at OSCON, Maybe...

I know I haven’t been posting to this blog much lately (see this link for one reason why). But I just wanted to note that I will be giving a talk at OSCON 2007 in Portland this week, and I would love to talk to you if you are there.

Rails Under The Knife (Jacob Harris) July 26th, 2:35pm to 3:20pm (Portland 255)

In addition, my coworker will be giving a talk on the DBSlayer (one of the projects we’re open sourcing) that should be fun to see.

DBSlayer: Architecting Database Connection Pooling (Derek Gottfrid) July 25th, 2:35pm to 3:20pm (Room E142)

Finally, be sure to come to one of our Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions:

Using Amazon Webservices EC2/S3/SQS for computing on large data sets July 25th, 7:30pm to 8:30pm (Room F150)
Shaping the Web Future of the Newspaper July 25th, 8:30pm to 9:30pm (Room E143-144)

Now I just have to make it there, which is the subject of another angry post about disconnecting effects of technology, or how United Airlines can oversell flights and then randomly bump a father and mother with 2-month old infant leaving them to scramble for a flight next day. To be followed by 45 minutes waiting in a customer service line only to be told I’m supposed to go to a customer service station in the next terminal. Joy!

The shorter version of this story: United Airlines is a miserable and indecent excuse for a business and when they go bankrupt again, I shan’t shed a tear…
