On Tuesday, after the CCS All College Meeting, Jay asked me if I wanted to "go to the Bay Area". Phill's web design class had left to go San Francisco for Google I/O earlier that day, missing the meeting. Anyway, I went to my apartment to pack and we were off for an adventure.
I've compiled some pictures we've found documenting our presence at the conference:

Yep, you guessed it, you are looking at my blog served from my new virtual FreeBSD server with John Companies and using PostgreSQL. Although my previous virtual FreeBSD server has been serving me well, FreeBSD 4.11 was getting old and Jay's Menes C++ Library hadn't been compiling on it for quite a while. I have also moved to the spiffy Apache 2.2.4.

That's pronounced "bar camp luh ee lemon (the fruit) odor nas tee netz", just in case you didn't know. So, yeah, Britta and I did those things and/or met those dudes while getting lost in Los Angeles.
P.S.: This conference failed to shed any light on the broken del.icio.us tagometer debacle. Even when one of the presenters turned his presentation over to a del.icio.us representative.
Also Guitar Hero II seemed to be involved in both events.
