OK. I’m in Helsinki. My laptop is behaving eratically and my power supply is broken. I’ve borrowed one off the reception and I’m desperately trying to come up with some alternatives for tomorrow. There is always a chance it will all work fine, but just in case I want a couple of fallbacks, including several memory sticks. I’ve been pretty lucky with technology up until now, but I guess that’s all catching up with me on this trip.
It’s a little frustrating because you only get one chance to make a first impression, and I fear I’m not going to make a good one. 🙁

Hi Tim,
Sorry to hear bout your misfortunes with hardware. As for me, I carry an extra spare laptop battery with me and several memory sticks. I even email copies of presentation just in case. As a DBA, one can never have enough backup.
Regards,
Ben

A good excuse to buy yourself a MacBook!
My thoughts exactly. 🙂
