I'm back..

I am finally home after staying four weeks at my brothers place in California. First I attended the MySQL users conference in Santa Clara where I met parts of the Memcached community at the Hackathon. It was great to finally meet the people I have been exchanging emails with :-). It was also nice to meet my new co-workers from MySQL, so I hope we get a chance to hang out more in the future.

I don't get to see my brothers family that often due to the distance between Norway and California, so it was really nice to spend so much time with his wife and the kids. I felt that I got really good contact with the kids (at least the boys worshiped me for being better than my brother playing video games ;-))

I also attended the OpenSolaris summit in Santa Cruz while I was there, before I went back up to attend Community ONE and Java ONE. Java ONE was definitively the highlight of the trip, and it was fun to see my brother on stage during the keynotes. I was able to take a look "back stage" and that was a pretty impressing sight.

Being the brother of one of the Java Posse have both pros and cons. I was able to hang out with the Posse and meet a lot of interesting people, but they also pulled up a slide of me during their BOF :-S

Well, it is good to be back home with my family, but unfortunately I got sick on the trip back home :-(
