It's Day 2 of Apachecon, and things are going fairly well I think.

I spent some of yesterday, and all of the morning working on a project with a couple of the big brains here at the conference, and I must say it was fun and gratifying feeling I finally had something of real value to contribute.

I often feel like the mentally challenged cousin that everyone tolerates at these conferences, so to feel useful was a nice change of pace. Today is my day to speak, and as in Stuttgart I have been placed opposite a talk that I would like to attend.

I will be surprised if I have 5 people in my talk. Le Sigh. On a high note, I got out yesterday and did some sketching. You can see the one sketch I like in my Flickr stream.
