What a full day – to be honest its all a blur. But fear not I tweeted up a storm and will revisit this post and update once the dust has settled. Suffice to say there were some awesome talks (and some not so awesome ).

I seized a gap in lectures in the afternoon and took my sedatory body for a run along the beachfront and a dip in the ocean. What a pleasure to just go for a swim and not fear loosing extraneous body bits to frostbite – and this is in the middle of ‘winter’. Turns out I needed the mental refresh as I headed back to attend a session by Gail Shaw on Query hints – I know nothing about sql in comparison to her. mercy.

I got taken out for dinner by the gang at IS Partners to a great little italian place on Florida Road, which seems to be Durban’s version of Kloof street. Shot guys, I had a really good evening – if Cape Town ever ends up under water due to global warming – I will come and see if I can be of any value.
