Now that I’m home, I want to write up some of my notes from OSCON. I stopped blogging after Tuesday because the mechanics of doing it live weren’t good (no tables in the rooms for a laptop, very flaky Wi-Fi connections), and I was too wiped out by the end of the day to do it then.
But there’s another reason I didn’t blog after Tuesday: I was getting depressed about the quality of the conference, especially as compared to previous years. Things got a lot better on Thursday, but I probably won’t go back next year. That’s a big change for me; I’ve attended every O’Reilly Perl Conference (starting with the two in San Jose) and every American O’Reilly OSCON.
