Tech∙Ed Europe 2009: Things to do in Berlin when you’re wasted
Last night the Dutch Country Drinks took their toll. Eventually I made it out of bed to attend some sessions, but the 9 AM session slot was a total write-off. I attended some later sessions though and heard the awful story of the missing gear.
Tech∙Ed Technical, Day 5
Last day of Tech∙Ed and I had some serious technical sessions to attend.
I attended a session by Aaron Margosis, who showcased the SysInternals suite of products. These can help troubleshoot pretty intense situations, where otherwise you’d be at a loss of what happened. I definitely picked up some tips and tricks here. Perhaps the track owner could offer Aaron Margosis the same option as John Craddock yesterday: Have two consecutive sessions ;-)
Goldrush
During the break I met up with Joachim. We were just typing away at our keyboards at a table in front of the SpecOps stand, when more and more people showed up wearing green SpecOps T-shirts. Apparently, SpecOps was giving away a gold bar, worth 3000 Euros.
I entered the competion earlier that week, but since I don’t win anything I didn’t bother with wearing the T-shirt or paying attention. I didn’t win, obviously.
Winding down
We stayed in Halls 3 and 4. These were the halls where the Community Lounge, the Technical Learning Center (formerly known as Ask the Experts) and all the booths of exhibitors were located. Marien and I talked to some more people and eventually left the venue. 
At the hotel we grabbed our laptops and started blogging. At diner time we ate some food and continued blogging. I actually just saw a text message from Tony, inviting us to Club Week End, but I think it’s best to take it easy and fulfill the reputation of laidback people the Swedes tend to contribute to us.
We’re planning to leave the room by noon anyway and it’s a binging mess.
I don’t know how I’m going to stuff all the SWAG in my bag tomorrow, though…
