No sessions for me today, except the OGS. I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon at the HP booth. I had hoped to get to one session, but because the OGS ran long I couldn't get the things I needed done at the booth soon enough to get away for that time slot. I do hope to get to several sessions on Tuesday. Our engineering team is meeting at 7 AM to finalize our coverage schedule for the day, and hopefully we'll be able to stick to it.

It's really hard for me to judge our booth traffic this year versus last. We had a great turnout last year, but we had a bigger booth, bigger staff, and eye candy with a great big rack. Ummm... wait a minute. Let me rephrase that. Not with a great big rack. The eye candy was a great big rack... of servers! Eye candy for geeks. This year we're right next to Binary Tree. They've got the more traditional type of eye candy, and they just might be diverting a bit of traffic from us. We do have a great give-away this year, though: an HP touch-screen PC is the grand prize that we'll have a drawing for on Wednesday, and we're giving out lots of yellow USB mice, too.
