Dubai Quake

I missed Wednesday's quake and so did Mrs Saul. Read about what happened to other people <a href="http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/08/09/11/10244153.html">here</a>.

I was in town for the <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/christophersaul/entry/earthquake">last one</a>, just under three years ago.

Off to Las Vegas

I'm off to Las Vegas for VMworld. Fourteen hours from Dubai to JFK, 5 or so to LAS with a three hour layover.

Sun shareholders need not worry - I am fully booked for the whole week, attending talks directly relevant to driving desktop business forward in FY09, meeting colleagues to discuss what's working elsewhere and to hear about the product roadmap, as well as learning all about some new products so that I can, in turn, pass that knowledge on to the teams I work with. I will also be speaking for about half an hour during a Sun slot on Weds.

If I have a spare moment, I promise to spend it in my hotel room, reading product documentation.

If I have a spare moment after those spare moments I will be doing my best to find a good blues bar and to enjoy some live music.
