It’s about a 15 minute walk from my hotel to the San Bruno Caltrain station. The fare to “San Francisco” is two dollars, although I’m not sure where I’ll be when I get off. I’m about 15 minutes early. While it’s not too far to walk I’m wondering if I’ll bother tomorrow, I have a meeting at 7 AM near the Moscone center and I can have a car pick me up.<\/p>\n
Cool, a double-decker commuter train. Top deck for that low-flying view. Clouds are pouring in over the hills from the west on a strong wind. The ride ends up at the San Francisco Caltrain station,\u00a0 I walk up Fourth and stop at Moscone North to register for the show, figuring that the lines would be very long tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The customer welcome reception is going on at Yerba Buena, and since I’ve eaten very little I swing through to grab a bite and some water. Huge crowds, a jazz combo playing. I walk to the end of Mission street where Oracle is having a dinner for attendees from my company. It was a pleasant, low-key dinner. About 10 or 12 folks from my company about half of whom I know and 5 or 6 Oracle folks. One fellow tells me that due to the large scale of the event – 40,000 attendees – Oracle employees aren’t allowed to attend most of the party events. Hopefully they’ll make their own fun somehow, or go home and rest.<\/p>\n
I cabbed back to my hotel in the ‘burbs to find that I had screwed up the hotel’s directions to the train and gone in the opposite direction from the BART. So I’ll give it a try tomorrow as the cab cost over $40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
