I arrived at the hotel around 6:45, and after walking the 1/4 mile (I’m joking, but it pretty damn close) to my room, I registered and snagged my goodie bag.

Turns out that while there’s gonna be wireless in the conference area, the rooms are wired.  Guess what Mike forgot to bring with him?  Well, forgot isn’t really the right word….I mean, c’mon, it’s 2006 and I expect my hotel rooms to have wireless.   Anyway, I made a quick trip to Wal*Mart and picked up an ethernet cable.

The connection kinda sucks.  I tried to play some WoW tonight, but had to quit.  Even surfing to my blog was slow.  Hopefully the wireless access in the conference area will be a bit better.

Session List

I’m gonna hit the keynote in the morning, but have to skip out on the first session to take a phone call (I may blog about that later).  My plan is to hit either “SOA as a Conversation” or “What makes Rails Possible: An intro to the Ruby language”.

After lunch another keynote followed byeither “Beyond TDD” or “Building Enterprise Smart Clients using a Service Oriented Architecture”.  The final session is probably gonna be either “Source Code Management with Subversion” or “Enterprise Python Architecture.”
