Largest badge I have ever had at a conference. Swag from the conference is minimal for the cost of the conference, but I am hoping that the vendors/plugin creators will be handing out some goodies. Last time I was in this building it was for the 2012 SF Bay to Breakers run registration. They really need to update the bathroom facilities. Two bathrooms for men, with three urinals and one stall. I am trying to use them during the “off” times outside of breaks because even when it’s not busy there is a line.

So far the keynote presentation is great, going over the various applications that support the development lifecycle. I have learned a bit about the applications we are not using and have determined that one that we are not may be an extremely useful app to add.

The weather here has been fantastic so far. Last night I ate at an extremely good vegetarian restaurant called “Millenium”. Tonight should be another good meal with local friends.

The hotel is nice, but not worth the cost. Unbelievable what these places think they can charge, but they get away with it. I know I’m not paying for it, but my company is and when we have employees traveling and each are spending this much (in large cities) it definitely adds up quickly.

More later. 🙂
