Thread: Trip to Japan

Trip to Japan

From
Bruce Momjian
Date:
I have just returned from a seven-day trip to Japan.  I spoke for seven
hours to three separate groups, totalling 200 people.  I spoke to a
Linux Conference, a PostgreSQL user's group, and to SRA, a PostgreSQL
support company. You can get more information on my home page under
"Writings".  Here are some pictures from Japan:

PostgreSQL is more popular in Japan than in the United States.  Japan
has user's groups in many cities and has had a commercial support
company (SRA) for two years.  MySQL is not popular in Japan.

It was great to meet so many nice people.

No idea.  It was not mine.  I brought a video camera, and made 30
minutes of video for my family and company.  I don't know how to make an
MP3 of that.

My wife wants a digital camera now, so it looks like I will have one
soon.  :-)

Mine is a Nikon "CoolPix990". Originally those pictures had 2048x1536
pixcels that is too much for web pages (~700KB per picture). I
shrinked them to 1024x768 using ImageMagick.

More pictures will be uploaded to the web pages...
