[07:38] <bkerensa> hi
[16:33] <cj> valorie: I guess that makes us impotent!
[17:47] <seattlegaucho> MarkDude: I found a bunch of my old MySQL buddies in your photos ... besides Monty
[17:48] <seattlegaucho> didn't find myself
[17:48]  * MarkDude plans on taking 500+ next year
[17:48] <bkerensa> :D
[17:48] <MarkDude> older camera held me back a bit
[18:02] <cj> seattlegaucho: ooh!  was I included?  unlikely as I never got out to many conferences during my short tenure...
[18:02] <cj> was this for OSCON 2011?
[18:02] <cj> oh, yeah... /me needs to read context
[18:02] <seattlegaucho> yep OSCON's last week
[18:02] <cj> wish I could have made it.
[18:02] <seattlegaucho> Colin Charles is the one I remember the name
[18:03] <bkerensa> :D
[18:03] <cj> yeah, I do remember quite a few emails from that guy
[18:03] <cj> don't know that I met him in person, though
[18:03] <seattlegaucho> were you at any of the company meetings? Budapest? Cancún?
[18:06] <cj> nope.  I was flown to the mysql conf for my final interview with patrik, kaj and mårten
[18:06] <cj> met most of the "important" folks there
[18:06] <cj> and communicated with peers via irc and email as I've always done before, during and since :)
[18:07] <seattlegaucho> which year did were you hired?
[18:07] <cj> oh-five
[18:07] <cj> and made a point of resigning on 06/06/06 so I'd remember the date.
[18:07] <cj> dark humor.  ha ha.
[18:08] <seattlegaucho> budapest was '02, cancún was '03 ... 1st UC was '03
[18:08] <seattlegaucho> so you missed out on the company meetings
[18:08] <cj> *sniffle* I was there in spirit.
[18:09]  * cj has been loving on mysql since '96
[18:09] <cj> at least I think that's the date 0.36 or whatever that was....
[18:15] <cj> 3.23, I guess
[18:19] <bkerensa> So
[18:19] <bkerensa> Wa & OR should do a GeekNic
[18:19] <bkerensa> :)
[18:19] <cj> or maybe Wa & BC
[18:20] <cj> as I'm all of one short boat ride away
[18:20] <cj> but with a dearth of tuits :(
[18:21] <thefinn93> WA, BC and OR - Ubuntu Cascadia
[18:29]  * cj points at his twitter title
