An interesting morning for me. I woke up, had breakfast at the Hilton Concierge Lounge (complimentary, seeing that I’m on the Executive floor), and decided to find my way, by public transport, to downtown San Francisco, from Santa Clara. Boy was I surprised as to how inane everything was: I spent about 2.5 hours travelling on a light rail (VTA), then a Caltrain, and finally a BART. I almost finished a book I was reading, all on public transport. Talk about a commute.<\/p>\n
Anyway, arrived at LugRadio Live USA, registered (paid my paltry $10 in cash, since their credit card provider was wonky<\/a>), and started the day with great talks. Some quick notes about the conference itself, and then my notes shall follow soon.<\/p>\n All in all, great networking event. Whole day spent meeting new folk, speaking to old friends, and so on. Definitely worth the trip.<\/p>\n Remember the problem with public transport in San Francisco\/Santa Clara? The BART\/Caltrain\/VTA all stop at midnight. Useless. Your only options are an expensive cab ride back, or sleeping on the street (don’t even dream of a hotel in downtown SF, they’re all booked out).<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: lugradio<\/a>, lugradio live usa<\/a>, public transport<\/a>, san francisco<\/a>, santa clara<\/a>, california<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An interesting morning for me.
