A trip out

I've just got back from the UKOUG confrence in Birmingham - an event when 2000+ database (and the res) techie types occupy the ICC in Birmigham for three days.  We get  to talk to  few old friends, Eat some good food, drink a bit , play with scalextric and attend a selection of nearly 450 seminars on our chosen subect!!

Very strange it is too. As a DBA , it is a fairly lonely position - one or two in most companies and suddenly everyone is one and we get to meet the superstars of our profession - names that echo amongst the blogospheres of the nerds!  No-one outside this little world will know their names or their significance but to us for a few days they are our stars, our heroes.  Then we come home to broken boilers and we all wake up.
