Time has now passed and we are in the middle of the US keynote. To be honest I was getting a little board because we have already seen and heard most of that is going on. One positive this is that I have now seen a demonstration of Google Gears. This was slightly amusing because to demonstrate this a laptop needed disconnecting form the network, and this proved harder than you might expect. Never before have I experienced a round of applause when someone finally managed to get a network to fail.
Currently we are located in several rooms in the building as the larger room used for our keynote was being dismantled for another event this evening. In some ways it is a shame as it has changed the mood and I feel less connected to the proceedings. That being said this has not been helped be the fact that the rest of the event has been done so well.
The notable bits of the day have been that the “Blogger” room had a collection of very comfortable cushions to so on the floor and well as a few walk up to terminals, lots of food and free [very very slow] wifi. Sadly this room was also being packed up before the end of the conference just when I wanted to do a little work over the tea break.
I did forget to mention that all the other rooms were renamed for the day to places in the Startwars movies, which was fun. There was also a laptop recharge room.
Well what do you know, my battery is about dead, and the Laptop recharge room is 3 floors up, if it was still open, so I have decided to put the laptop away. Unusually I was one of the few with the laptop out. A complete reverse of normality, so perhaps everyone else has flat batteries as well.
