Tasmania

Today I was at the OSS Forum day in Hobart, really interesting. I was honoured to do the opening keynote, which I think was very well received. I met and talked with many good people. There’s a lot going on here. Excellent.

This evening talked at the local Linux users group (TasLUG) about MySQL 5.1, which drew a fairly big crowd and we covered some very good and in-depth questions! Oh and the pub had good food, too…

From there, I went on a little two-hour roadtrip North and am now writing this from a hotel room in Launceston. The hotel is charging me an exorbitant amount of money to pick up some email on my laptop, about $0.50 cents per minute and it has just notified me that I actually reached some limit so it’s now charging $0.20 per additional MB. Just great.

But, Launceston. I’ll be speaking at the local TAFE (colleges for training and further education), with students of a database class, and teachers. That will be really cool.
I’d better get to bed now… I have school tomorrow! 😉
