They had said in advance that they would not announce any new hardware but in fact they did…although… Read More

I was at EDPS in Monterey the last couple of days. It is one of the most interesting conferences to attend. Go next year since you already missed it this year.

Friday Miscellany: EDAC Mixer, DVCon, DVCon Europe
Yesterday evening was EDAC’s first mixer. I assume the first of a regular event. It was held in Mountain View in the old train station which is now the Savvy Cellar wine bar.
