Glad I got some sleep, felt good today, went to the conference when the doors opened due to still living on Eastern time. Had some really nasty breakfast sandwiches because they are food and they really had me at food anyway.
Sessions
Had a ot of sessions involving UCS servers today, new CLI commands to use for troubleshooting connectivity, methods to test Hyperflex disk IO, all things I never really paid much attention to, Ehren at work usually delves into those things, never really absorbed the stuff. Good sessions to have. Lunch at the Marina, amazing weather out here. I have found a amazing amount of dude bros that sit in the middle of 2 seats during sessions, and at lunch just openly take 2 lunches, right outta the gates. Its weird, and they have no idea what they look like.
After the sessions
Went out to Fogo de Chao for my first Brazilian steakhouse experience with Dan from Sentinel and the fellas from the MSU network team. Oh my god, I can get used to people just reloading your plate with meat till it feels uncomfortable to stand. Why is this not more of a thing? Dan had a rough night the night before, I suspect he turned in early, Brian Franke and I went on to a Nutanix event at a Bar inside the Hard Rock hotel. I was not surprised to find out I am terrible at Guitar Hero. Zero coordination from this guy. Free beer made up for it. Turned in before midnight, nice day.
This room
Have learned that all partying on the block ends at 3:30 AM, must be when the bars kick everyone out. The music in the bar stays on for at least another hour, the staff must be closing out then. The bums on the block have a particular preference to yelling incessant obscenities around 6 AM, it must be a sunrise thing. I have seen far to much of my floor-mates when visiting the community toilets. Uh, not necessary, people! Pretty sure the hotel manager puts something THC related in the morning coffee, just can't prove it. Its still delicious.
