I just returned home from Europe…

First a staff developer meeting in Malta. Meeting up with all of them always rocks. They’re ONLINE the ones implementing all the funky new features! Currently most are focused on the upcoming 4.1 production release though, like fixing bugs.

SANE 2004 in Amsterdam was cool in a different way. I always love talking cheap nfl jerseys with users, as it’s straight from the real world. I did a couple of MySQL tutorials and a talk at the main conference about current and upcoming features. Visiting in Amsterdam is always photogallery funny as I was born wholesale jerseys there, speak the language, and always run into friends from long ago (also at the conf).

But back home… we should think about inventing a new word, related to jetlag. Here’s the thing:
MySQL AB cheap jerseys is, as you may know, a global virtual company. That is, there are now over 170 people around the globe, mostly working from home. This is an excellent setup as we can find the best people no matter where they happen to live. But it creates some interesting challenges.
I live wholesale mlb jerseys in Brisbane (Australia), and now have VoIP with wholesale nfl jerseys a phone number in California. Somehow it all makes sense, trust me!
Anyway, some arranged conference calls end up at odd hours of the day for me, since most participants are in either Europe or North America. In Keeping this case I had to be up at 1am. And that’s a killer. I do have a life and a wife, too… ohwell, it’s all part of the job. There aren’t many negative sides.
Hey, if you do come up with good word for this kind of jetlag, drop me a note!
