I put some of my photos from WWDC2003 online. iPhoto insists on sorting photos the wrong way when asked to order by date, so start at the bottom of the page…

WWDC continues to rock. Totally like drinking from a firehose… A LOT of info here. King and I just met with some WO folks about some issues we’ve been facing on the next version of CAREO and they were extremely helpful (thanks Andreas, Bill & Scott!!!)

Some interesting sessions this afternoon, then down to Cupertino for the Campus Bash. Should be fun. I’m bringing my camera so I’ll continue to look like the typical tourist.

We arrived at SFO just fine yesterday. Took the BART from the airport to Powell, and it turns out it was the first day for the airport leg of BART to be open. Celebrations and camera crews everywhere. Weird.

Walked around downtown SF last night. Man. Those hills are one heck of a workout. Climbed to the top of Telegraph Hill, then went to the top of Coitt Tower. Great view, but oy my legs.

Sitting in Moscone West now, getting ready for the Early Bird session on Cocoa programming. Should be interesting.

Oddly enough, the network connection from here is quite slow/intermittent. I get 100% signal strength on Airport, but it seems like we’re all sharing a 56K modem (or, perhaps, a Bluetooth connection to a cell phone?). Hoping the connectivity gets a bit faster. If not, no big deal though.

UPDATE: Just sat down in the session room (to a sweet dual 1.2GHz PowerMac with a freakin’ amazing 23 inch flat panel display…) and the net connection from there is very fast. Looks to be an issue localized to the Airport network.

I just found out that I’ll be heading to WWDC2003 this year (June 23 - 27).

This is the most amazing conference I’ve seen, with an extremely diverse mix of folks (from MS R&D to indy developers). The sessions are all top-knotch, and it’s more than a little like drinking from a firehose. Can’t wait to see what’s coming in MacOSX (I remember the Quartz Extreme demo last year, and that was freakin’ amazing…) and WebObjects specifically.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to demo CAREO/Extreme, or at least the XStreamDB EOAdaptor. I guess we’ve got a month to get it working…

Maybe I’ll even bump into bbum, now that he’s working for the Mothership.
