Oracle OpenWorld 2006 – Monday Oct 23 – Videos, Photos and a Segway

After Steven Feuerstein’s session – 10 things you should never do with PL/SQL – Andrew Clarke and I went for a walk around the Moscone center and the exhibition halls:

I was lucky enough to win a ride on a Segway. Actually, I made a deal with the salesperson: I attend your 10 minute product demo, you let me “drive” the Segway:


A special thanks to Andrew who captured these historical moments :)

Oracle OpenWorld 2006 – Registration and Oramag Dinner (Video + Photos)

Before heading to the appreciation dinner hosted by Oracle Magazine, I went to register for Oracle OpenWorld. The “full conference” registration lines were long but I managed to blend in with the “Alumni” registration line which was a lot shorter. Still, it took them quite a bit of time to find my registration record and issue “the badge”. During my wait for “the badge”, I managed to shoot this short clip:

After the registration I headed to the E&O trading Co, a few blocks away, to attend the Oracle magazine editors’ choice award winners appreciation dinner. It was fun and exciting to meet many of the Oracle Gurus in person. Here are a couple of pictures:
