Java One Is Huge

May 6th, 2008


So I just heard that there are 15,000 people at JavaOne. The line to get into the General session went around not just 1 block but 2 blocks. Of course once you got down the escalator the traffic lessened quite a bit.

We are being tracked. In the conference badges is a RFID chip. They are going to use these chips to make sure that you are registered for a session. They also have biometric sensors around the Moscone center to track the movement of people in and out of sessions and around the convention. JavaOne meets 1984.

The first Key Note speaker has a big spot light on JavaME, and the types of devices that can JavaME can power. Things from mining sensors to pace makers.

A rare good experiance with US Air

May 6th, 2008

So the flight from Philly took off on time, landed on time and it didn’t take forever to get my luggage. I have an exit row seat and life was good. All in all the experience was B+.

I’m looking at the Key Note speakers for this morning. I am not sure if it will be interesting or marketing speak from Sun.

I’ll try to post after the Key note with any in sites.

Waiting for the Flight

May 5th, 2008

I made it to the Philadelphia International Airport. As usual I’m 2 1/2 hours early. I’m not scheduled to be on the ground in San Fran for another 8 hours or so. (Yuk) I’ve got some Billable work to do while I am waiting. I’ve also got a few movies on my trusty IPhone, American Gangster and Elizabeth the Golden Years. Hopefully Bea Arthur doesn’t make an appearance in the 2nd movie. And if I run out of battery power, I have a Book titled, “The Definitive Guide to SOA:BEA AquaLogic Service Bus”

Interesting thing here waiting at the gates. None of the electrical outlets seem to be working. I guess they have a way of turning them off. Don’t want to make it too easy for travelers to get power for their cell phones, or laptops. They will probably come up with a way to charge your for electricity in the airports soon.

My Schedule

May 1st, 2008

I tried to get my JavaOne schedule HTML to show in this blog, but I had issues. So I posted it on my Web Site.

Here is the link: http://www.joekampf.com/JavaOneSched.html

Hello World

May 1st, 2008 
public class HelloWorld
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
}

This is the first of what I hope is a bunch of posts that I will be doing over the next week.

First I would like to say that the views and opinions expressed here are not the necessarily the views and the opinions of Anexinet.

BTW, just to plug the people that pay me and are paying for me to attend JavaOne this year, lets give shout out to Anexinet

In the past I have been asked to give trip reports when I go to conferences. This will be my 4th conference I have attended while being an employee of Anexinet. I thought this would be a more interesting way of doing a report rather than just writing a word doc when I get home and giving it to my manager.

I’m also going on this trip solo, so I thought it would be a good way to keep in touch with my friends and colleges back in PA. Although I plan to have most of the posts be about Java, I fully expect to put some personal details, maybe even a few photos.

I hope that they have WiFi through out the Moscone Center. Otherwise I’ll be posting from my trusty IPhone and that means the posts will be short and sweet during the day.

I have a weekend of packing and planning ahead of me. See you in the next post.
