Damien has now confirmed that we will co-present the CouchDB talk at ETech. I am happy to have him with me cough so I can weasel out of the real hard questions by pointing to him — and vice versa.
But there is a treat for you, too. If you plan to come to ETech in San Diego on March 3rd to March 6th, you can get a 35% discount when you mention the code et08rdr during your registration.
Hope to see you in SoCal!
P.S. Don’t tell ay of Damien’s readers that I nicked the exclusive code!

For my US trip in March, I tried flying Delta. On paper they made the best offer regarding price and flight times. I am not a frequent flyer, I do not usually fly in the US and if I should have known to avoid Delta if possible… well, I did not. Also, I have been told that all airlines suck for one reason or another so choosing Delta was not worse than choosing anybody else.
This post is not about accusing anybody, it is a simple report of my booking experience. And about what is wrong with the now popular system of customer support.
I started searching for flights using Kayak. Their website is simple, the UI is very easy to use and anticipates the user’s input with great success. It is a pleasure to …

[Read more]Letzten Mittwoch morgen war J. so nett und hat mich morgens nach Greven zum Flughafen gefahren. Von da bin ich nach München geflogen. Die Lufthansa nennt das Linienflug und dementsprechend unaufregend war das. In München hatte ich etwa eineinhalb Stunden Zeit durch sämtliche Sicherheitskontrollen in Richtung USA zu kommen und das hätte unter anderen Umständen etwas knapp sein können. Aber ohne Urlauber und mit wenigen Flügen in die USA war das alles schaffbar.
Ich hatte einen Gangplatz gebucht bekommen, aber die Frau, die neben mir am Fenster sitzen sollte, hat sich mit ihrem Freund einen freien 2er-Sitz geben lassen, sodass ich einerseits zum Fenster rüber konnte und andererseits den Platz neben mir frei hatte. Der Flug soll etwas ruckelig gewesen sein, aber ich habe die meiste Zeit geschlafen.
Nachdem ich dann in Chicago das berühmte grüne Formular und meine Fingerabdücke gelassen habe, durfte ich sogar …
