Found webcam on laptop (dell precision m6400) not working, could see and hear video but not send. I also didn't being my headset, so all around bad news for video chats.
Tried to resolve the webcam but haven't fixed yet.
Around 9am we left our hotel (hilton at fisherman's wharf)
Walked around looking for breakfast, no real luck in area for me.
Decided to go downtown, i read a review for a place there.
Took the shuttle bus from holiday inn to moscone west, oracle world (much easier on the feet, mine are sore from yesterday).
Walked longer than expected to but finally arrived at little bird coffeehouse.
It's a small place with a hippy style (cash only) that got much busier while we were there.
I ordered oj and vegan breakfast sandwich (although forgot to mention vegan at first) with tofu scramble, daiya cheese, avocado and hummus on english muffins.
Looked like a whole avocado went in it. yummy.
Also picked up two glazed vegan donuts to go, one with sprinkles, one with brown sugar.
Walked back down to oracle world at moscone, passing the javaone area which looks all blocked off.
Stopped in the apple store, super busy.
I said I could only see getting an ipad for a comic reader, but doesn't justify the price.
Much busier at moscone today than yesterday. Lots of oracle world people, few javaone in comparison.
Checked out the oracle world book store. Exhibition hall closed off till tomorrow.
Back on the shuttle bus and back to the hotel to rest for a bit.
This is much more scenic route by the piers.
Back at the hotel about 1pm.
I found out that the internet connection period ended up being 24 hours (so $10 per day).
Attempted to setup the laptop usb connection which wasn't working so far.
Finally, luckily I was able to get it working after I unmounted the usb drive so it detected the device as a modem.
Then I made the mistake of updating the ATT connection manager software for it. Ended up needing to uninstall and reinstall.
So having internet here has been a pain so far.
Left later, walked up, and grabbed a vegan burger and fries to go from burger meister.
Walked back down and hopped on bus to moscone.
Ate my burger and fries outside on a bench, it was good but dry, would have been better if i'd had ketchup.
We went inside to the packed oracle keynote. Stood out back for about 10 minutes listening about the awesomeness of Exadata/Exalogic before we left.
Walked up to the java open house. Nice comfortable atmosphere with food and drinks, atleast until the wind picked up and it got cooler outside, my shorts and tshirt weren't so comfortable.
We even found a cool arcade table with the defenders arcade game built into it.
Played a few 2 person games (for free, could just keep adding credits).
And finally we walked back down to the bus and headed back to the hotel for the nite.
Definitely store on my feet from walking.
