Glad to be Home

Jeff and Pia’s wedding was a blast. LCA rocked. Despite how much I enjoyed each, I’m pretty glad to be home. Still feel a bit weird that I’m calling New Zealand my home, but I feel amazingly comfortable here, and comfortable is good.
The wedding went really well, and I was completely honoured to be part of the wedding cheerleading party, along with Thom and Touie, Sue and Elly. Everyone, including myself, had a great time, and Denise and Touie’s hospitality and generousity was wonderful throughout the weekend I spent in Yass.
LCA was also great fun, although I admit that I was probably still burnt out and not as hyped for a Linux conference as I wanted to be. It was awesome to meet Robert and Davyd for the first time, along with many old friends.
My general perception was that most people had pretty much disregarded Sun’s involvement in the Linux space, which made me pretty sad. While I’m still enjoying the challenges of working in Sun I sure don’t feel as proud with the product that I’m personally involved with, as I did before. I guess I have lots of thinking to do to see how we can turn it around, and I believe we can. It’s just going to take a lot of groundwork, and riding the days of frustration along the way.
