PostgreSQL Conference East Flickr group

I created a Flickr group for the conference and added a few pictures today.

The weather in Maryland is just like Portland this week! Kind of drizzly and overcast. The sun peeked out for a few minutes at sunset, and I had a nice walk around the University of Maryland at College Park campus today.

I met several people in the UMIACS department, including my new hero, Mike, who created over 100 individual wireless network accounts for conference attendees. The rooms look great, and the foyer where we’ll be having breakfast is very pretty. UMD’s campus is just amazing and huge. If you’ve got an extra hour to spare, take a walk around!

@turoczy LOL #
@linuxpoet best wishes to henry. #
@stadler cyrix processor was the first processor i ever bought for the first computer i ever built myself *memories* #
being horrifed at code-n-splode by a face-melting file format (in this case EDI) #
woo! PSU just sponsored Portland BarCamp! #
@spinnerin has her XO here 🙂 and it is MESHING! #
just got confirmation on wireless access for http://www.postgresqlconference.org UMD really has it together. #
@xolotl: #bacon! #
@xolotl has a diabolically recursive mind. #
@radiogretchen happy birthday!! #
@ljbanks the clinton campaign uses "hillary" rather than "hillary clinton" or "hillary rodham clinton". not sexist – intentional marketing. #
@ljbanks the campaign says that it reflects the human connection she has with her supporters. #
@ljbanks sometimes marketing backfires :/ #
from @zrusilla new word alert: rickroll. awesome. #
@thesethings i’m for’ing stuff to #heytwitches #
@petdance yes. forgive me, but rick astley does not often come up in conversation. #
catching up on rss #
@radiogretchen bernies (NE), acadia (NE), justa pasta (NW), thai orchid (NW), lucy’s table (NW), farm (SE) #
Thanks to Silicon Mechanics for sponsoring #BarCampPortland! #
@metafluence congrats! look forward to hearing more. #
@br3nda has finally given me a reason to get a facebook account. now, i just need a plane ticket http://snurl.com/22on3 #
heads up: LA folks – postgresql newbie training sponsored by LAPUG in April – watch http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug for details #

PostgreSQL Conference East – this Saturday and Sunday

We’re wrapping up all the little details for the conference:

Wireless access is secured! Each person will have their own account. You’ll receive it when you register.
Our final schedule is available!
The last few talks have been rolling in. I’m very excited about the round table Sunday morning with Joshua Drake (USPA and PostgreSQL SPI Liaison), Bruce Momjian (PostgreSQL Core) and Magnus Hagander (PostgreSQL-EU). Bring some questions! We’ll be on IRC taking remote questions as well.
I’ll be giving a talk on ptop Sunday too!
Also very excited to get together with other Women In Open Source!

We’re all getting together at the Greenbelt Chevy’s on Friday night. Let me know if you’d like to join. I’ve made a reservation for 20.

@petdance KILL IT! i wish there was an equivalent of "head on a lance" for bad code. #
hi @zrusilla! 🙂 #
@linuxpoet gave a great summary of complaints we had about postgresql – good feature list for summer of code 🙂 http://snurl.com/22l80 #
@linuxpoet field trip! summer time would be best. #
@zrusilla just turned me on to act: http://act.mongueurs.net/ #
thinking that @xolotl and i need to represent at http://calagator.org/events/1250453941 should we have drupal pom-poms? #
@xolotl darn it. maybe it #
@xolotl oops – maybe it’ll be an elimination bracket, and there will be a second meeting with drupal v. plone. we’d totally win. #
@radiogretchen i am IN #
@karolcooks WE ARE SO IN #
@radiogretchen i am a fan of whimsical hair. #
@karolcooks i have a favorite brownie recipe, best eaten the second day. can send when i get home. #

@TiEsQue maybe selectsmart? http://snurl.com/22fa9 #
enjoyed nytimes magazine editorial on hapa kids. just was talking about chinese/caucasian kids with friend at postgresql meeting. #
@TiEsQue did you look at that site? it has sources, it isn’t about his social skills 🙂 #
@TiEsQue here’s what I read: huffington post, NYTimes Caucus blog, Daily KOS, Blue Oregon. I watch CSPAN and CNN coverage, and even FOX. #
@TiEsQue I imagine @grigs has some good resources, but to really get in depth coverage, I find I have to read a lot, from several sources. #
other sources: also the economist, the nation, youtube http://tinyurl.com/2wach6, the oregonian and even that stupid willamette week article #
and I’m just gonna come out in say it: much analysis is overrated and wrong. people should trust their own judgment more-primary sources FTW #
@jtkeith yeah! good one. #
and WIM by "primary sources" is: look at what candidates say and do, not what analysts think about what they say and do. #
@TiEsQue sure – but who do you trust for summary? i like huff post, but know they are biased; economist is good, but also biased. #
@xolotl 🙂 i’d talk about this all day long if i could. i’m happy when people pick an issue, research it and decide for themselves. #
@wendemm thanks for the link 🙂 #

ok, so i figured out the double pointer thing. now just need to refactor two more giant functions and i’m home free. #
Waiting for Vicente Fox to speak. Not many protesters. #
World Affairs Council is largest speaker series for int’l speakers in the country #
@kmazz yup, was at the talk! it was pretty good. could have done without the 5minute nike commercial, but overall interesting. #
@reidab oh crap. 🙂 #
@amyrsward yeah, great for schools too. i’ve gone to a few events with groups of students from my husband’s school. #
happy birthday @oleoptene! #
thanks, @thesethings for the great post about drupalmodules.com. CPAN needs this. http://snurl.com/227tn #
PDXPUG PostgreSQL Day before OSCON – call for talks http://snurl.com/227u9 #
@amyrsward shout out "you’re a blogger!" #
@petdance i figured out the pointer problem i was having tuesday! #
@petdance needed double pointer to access the array of struct pointers within the struct. stupid c. #
@amyrsward i’m actually not there. just rabble-rousing from PDX. #
@sarahgilbert when are you getting your chicks?! tomorrow? #
@spinnerin feeling better? I am 95% today. feels good! now if the sun would just come out… #
greylisting feedback: "WOW. No junk mail is great!" made my day. #
hoping that @linuxpoet is able to make it out for PDXPUG tonight. #
@ljbanks and i was just thinking about turning off my DSL and using comcast instead. guess I won’t be doing that yet! #
@ljbanks not faster when they’re blocking your traffic! 🙂 #
@sarahgilbert if it involves bonfires in backyards, I am so in. #
@peat i have the perfect place for one in my backyard, but making it involves using a jackhammer. #
@linuxpoet PDXPUG will be at FreeGeek, 7pm #
homage to indexed and @TiEsQue’s most recent tweet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/selenamarie/2347342829/ #
@muckp white! #
@stadler easter related, last supper, right? what’s a twitter point? #
@stadler I think you’re going to have to give that point to @xolotl. #
oh *that’s* what maundy means. (i won’t spoil @stadler’s contest) #
@johnmark using sendmail and smf-grey. of the 3-4 options on greylisting.org, it had the least dependencies. #
@johnmark installing on a linux VPS. had to compile libmilter from the sendmail source, but it wasn’t too painful. #
@johnmark yes, i have. about 3 years ago 🙂 #

turning on google calendar for company this morning. goodbye crappy macOS9-era calendar app! #
@aurynn *hugs* i had to move 12+ hrs away. #
@linuxpoet yup. #
@thesethings it was a long time in the making. very happy with it! #
not liking that twitter is now a way to send me todos. #
@grigs can’t make it to mobile users meeting because its my anniversary 😀 #
@grigs i don’t think that’s gonna fly. maybe if i would have thought of that sooner. and if my mom wasn’t in town. #
@ebeckman dude, hydrangeas are tanks. no worries! reminds me that i have a date with my rose bushes this weekend. #
@ebeckman my neighbor mows his to the ground every winter 🙂 i don’t recommend that, but the damn thing comes back every time. #
oh great, one of the swag vendors sent us mugs for an optometrist. #
portland postgresql users group tomorrow night, a case study and some love for sysadmins: http://pugs.postgresql.org/node/365 #pdxpug #
@ravenzachary i’m all ears for that report. #
@mattg losing packets – 31% loss #
@mattg looks like 4 possible routers at hop 3, maybe one is flapping? #
@mattg trying from dreamhost in SF area, other is ELI. can’t traceroute ATM from ELI. but the problem is intermittant — it’s working now. #
@mattg i’ll DM you the routers i’m seeing #
woo! http://www.postgresql.us drupalified! #
@mattg that’s lame! #
@thesethings not much data on the original site. so easy! gotta thank the Italians for making the theme originally. #
@lelonopo OMG. how about TUIMM a lot. i’m sorry, @karolcooks – scrapbooking? #
@linuxpoet "beset"? #
@selenamarie thinks the ghost of benjamin franklin may be visiting @linuxpoet. #
@lelonopop translation: Throw Up In My Mouth #
@hmtasks where did the IM client go? :/ #
@xolotl http://ronmexico.kainalopallo.com/ #
@linuxpoet visiting portland anytime soon? #
