Just got back from the SNIA Technical Symposium in New Orleans where we had the kickoff meeting for the Data Integrity Task Force.
I hadn't been to the Big Easy for almost 9 years and I have to say the change was astounding. Didn't really know what to expect after Katrina, but amazingly the place had really been cleaned up. I felt safe no matter where I went and the streets were much cleaner. A major downside was that my hotel was right on Bourbon St. and the karaoke bars kept me awake all night.
The biggest disappointment was the jazz. Or rather complete lack thereof. There was no jazz to be heard anywhere. I got 60 seconds of exposure walking past Preservation Hall. And that was it! Lame! I didn't have time to hit Frenchman St. on this trip but I sincerely hope something cool was happening there...
