For some reason, I keep waking up really early in the morning. I sleep ok, but I just wake up early. Meh, no biggie. Today was good.
I wasn't able to smuggle out pastries for Katy yet cause we didn't find any shops that were open and sold tupperware on our ramblings last night. We might play hookie tomorrow morning, so I might be able to do a spot of shopping and get her some frorm thursday or friday :) I have however, liberated some waffles for her cause they're individually packaged and won't cream the inside of my bag.
The day's sessions were really good. The morning one was all about tips and tricks on how to optimize java for performance and how to investigate bottlenecks. The afternoon session was about Adobe Flex, which is a codebase that lets you write flash applications that are uber sexay. I'm thinking of adding that to my arsenal. I think it might have marketing potential for my CV for future use.
The amount of stuff they give away in the exhibitor hall is truly shocking. Without trying really hard, I walked away with 6 tshirts, a mug, a tuque, a deck of cards and a pair of boxers. I'll see what sort of goodies I can plunder tomorrow :)
The plan for tonight is pretty much like last night, except with better weather. We're all meeting in the hotel lobby at 7 to go for dinner. I'm still euro-less because of the crap banking of last night, but hopefully a guy here will lend me some and I'll pay him back in pounds when we're back in the UK. It's just more annoying than anything else – I have money, I just can't get at it… Note to self for future travel plans, I guess.
