Wish I could have made it. Instead I'm doing 12-14+ hr days, eating what people in the Dominican Republic think is "american/european" food. Conga is better. Although, if I get a chance to eat "street food" it's pretty good. ---------------------------------------On Topic (kinda) story: Gotta share a kewl moment from yesterday, we've installed a Linux server at a utility here, running our system. and were test printing some invoices on preprinted paper. The big (HP) printer is currently in an isolated room, and is fairly busy, so we needed to be at the printer, load the forms between other print jobs and send to the printer. Their current printing jobs tie up a WinXP desktop system in another room. Pull up our sysem on my N900 phone (on their internal protected WiFi), navigate to the print queue page.... (on my phone, and show the new commercial manager how to do the same on his iPad), load the paper and click the print button. His eyes get big when the printer dumps out 10 invoices. He asked how that worked, because the server is 2 networks and several hundred miles away. I explain the Linux server talks directly to the printer over the network. he exclaims loadly with a big smile: "I love Linux!" What is amazing to me, is how much I forget how cumbersom most (big busiiness) Windows applications are, and how much IT work goes into making them work. That was your warm fuzzy Linux story for the day. :) ..more..

From: Ryan Macy ------------------------------------------------------ Guys I would like to do a in-depth all day workshop/presentation on relational databases, and key value pair database design/planning/development. It would ideally be in the start of December and I will raise some money to cater lunch to everyone. I heard mention of UNUM space? Could I make use of that? I will get a lesson plan and prereq's up on my website so everyone knows what they need to succeed :) I think I'll probably do the first half of the day as "what you should already know" to hit the key concepts, and the second half we can hit more advanced concepts. ..more..

From: Lisa Ridley ------------------------------------------------------ OK, now that I've had a bit of a chance to rest and recover from the = week, here's the review I promised some folks on the mailing list of the = Android Bootcamp I attended in Atlanta. Last week, I attended Android Bootcamp, put on by the The Big Nerd = Ranch: http://www.bignerdranch.com/classes/android The session began on Monday, August 22nd and lasted through Friday = August 26th. The fee for the course was not cheap ($3,500), but = included room, board and meals for Sunday night (dinner) through Friday = (breakfast and lunch), and transportation to/from the Atlanta airport. = I did not fly in, but drove down. Our sessions begin at 9:00 am, and lasted until dinner at 6:30pm. We = took a 45 break for lunch, and about an hour break at 4:00 in the = afternoon. If we didn't cover sufficient material during the day, we = would get back together after dinner and work for a couple more hours, = and one night we stayed downstairs until 10:30pm. It was a very comprehensive session, but the pace was pretty grueling, = and by mid-day Thursday my brain was mush. Knowledge of OO programming is essential, and the more proficient you = are at Java, the more you'll get out of the sessions. I'm a novice at = Java, and some of the syntax and Java-specific stuff wasn't clicking = until about mid-day Wednesday. The instructors were great. =20 The amount of material covered was overwhelming. Also, it would have = been helpful if they had told us a few things prior to the class: 1. They used the Eclipse IDE with the Android ADT tools installed, and = as a result glossed over some things (like compiling packages from the = command line) that would have been helpful. 2. One of the exercises required a Flickr API key -- would have been = great to have known that and acquired it ahead of time 3. The last three exercises required you to obtain a Google Maps API = key tied to your Android Developer certificate -- I had not set up my = certificate, so I didn't actually get to complete the last three = exercises; by the time I got my certificate set up and requested my = Google API key, we had covered that material. The venue left something to be desired. The session was held at Banning Mills: = http://www.historicbanningmills.com/ The food was good, but the meals were a bit heavy. The place is a bit run down. If you don't mind sleeping with critters = in your cabin, the place has some really neat attractions. If it hadn't = been so damn hot I would have done the canopy zipline tour, and spent = some time hiking in the woods to see some of the historic settlement = ruins in the area. I had a mouse in my cabin, a couple of centipedes, and several = cockroaches that would put any palmetto bug to shame. All of the = cockroaches were dead when I happened upon them -- most of them were = missing their heads, courtesy of the brown scorpions in my cabin, of = which I was blissfully unaware until Wednesday morning at 2:00am when I = padded to the bathroom, barefoot and encountered one on the bathroom = floor, blocking my way. After that I kept my flip flops on when I was = in the cabin. The bed was lumpy (although I was so tired each evening = at bedtime that I didn't notice it until I was up all night Wednesday = night after I happened on the scorpion in my bathroom). Oh, and it took = me complaining for two days before I could get someone out to my cabin = to check the water heater -- turned out the pilot light was out, but I = had no hot water from Sunday evening until Tuesday evening. Cell service was almost non-existent. With the exception of one jerk in the class who was just a general = a--hole, everyone in the class was really friendly. There was a wide = variety of experience levels in the class - some Java programmers, some = iOS programmers, some network administrators who were interested in = picking up mobile programming. Would I take another class from Big Nerd Ranch? Absolutely. Would I take one held at Banning Mills again? I don't think so. Big Nerd Ranch holds classes in Boston as well, and some overseas = venues. They have acquired some acreage outside of Atlanta to build = their own campus, but due to the downturn in the economy and the credit = crunch they have been unable to start construction b/c of lack of = financing. The materials provided consisted of the slides presented, solutions to = the exercises worked in class, and detailed documentation for each = agenda item covered in the form of a textbook; in fact, the material = provided will eventually make it into their upcoming Android Programming = book. Prior to taking this class, I was trying to struggle my way through = Beginning Android 3 by Mark Murphy (Apress Publishers); I picked it back = up today, and I'm getting so much more out of the book. Hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions! ..more..
