After what was probably about 3 months of dust collecting on my shelves, I finally broke down and watched my netflix rental of Downfall. It was a great movie. It portrayed the dullision and manic nature of Hitlers last days.
The part that got to me was when Goebel's wife killed all of her own children. How anyone can kill their own children, no matter how dellusional they are, is beyond me.
While it's not an uplifting movie in any terms, I am glad I finally sat down and watched it.
I flew up yesterday for a the PostgreSQL conference which is meeting at Ryerson University. My plane got in late but in time to have dinner with Gavin Sherry, Josh Berkus, and Greg Stark. Then, even though it was only about 8 or 9 my time, I was able to get to sleep in order to get as much sleep as possible.
Thus far today I have attended Bruce Momjain's keynote, which was a good oveview of the initial history of PostgreSQL, a talk on Bizgres and what they're doing with PostgreSQL to enhance performance, a Performance round table moderated by Simon Riggs and then an Intro to PostgreSQL Hacking. I'm currently in the PostgreSQL Advocacy session.
