Blogging from England
Seems amazing that this is my first time back in england in 7 years. I'm spending this week meeting with various partners and vendors and also getting in some quality time with with our local solution teams.
Today started with a breakfast meeting with a network management tool vendor, some very cool developments going on in visualizing networks with a focus on application performance and making sense of the vast amounts of data available from netflow. I'm very interested in seeing if some of the cool projects Sun has on the go around predictive performance analysis could leverage this type of data feed. Seems like a very no-pervasive way to instrument a customers environment.
Now heading to buy a UK Sim card for my cell phone to avoid some of the amazing roaming charges when using phones outside the US. Then onward to GMP ready for meetings tomorrow.
Funny, when I lived in the UK I could not stand the few hot muggy days of summer, today the high is supposed to be 32'c. Folks are pretty much falling over with the heat. Since spending the last 7 years in the washington DC area, and the last year near denver I seem to of got used to the heat. Its really not bothering me right now.
On my todo is:
1. decent beer (sorry, even the micro brews in boulder still dont cut it for me)
2. fish and chips
3. cornish pasty (i've been craving these for years, wonder if there is a business in portable pies in the US?)
