Well, I managed the impossible and got my sorry butt onto a plane and made it here to San Francisco for RSA. Which I have to admit came down to the last two minutes for a decision. That being said, I’m glad to be here while missing the quiet comforts of home. Time to nut up.
It has been an interesting day. I signed in for my speaker pass and press badge and oddly didn’t have to present ID. It turns out that I was not alone. I was waiting there patiently while four people behind the desk attempted to look busy while one person was being attended to. Don’t get me wrong but, as they were all quite cordial but, is was an odd scene. Hopefully they were just getting the rust shaken off before the crowds land on them in earnest later today and tomorrow.
Once I was signed up and badges acquired, I picked up my delegate bag. Normally this is a non event but, I have to give them credit. RSA ponied up and bought some very nice messenger bags this year. This one will actually get some use.
So, now I sit here in the press room keeping myself occupied. I wasn’t allowed to get into the Cloud Security Alliance meeting this morning that I signed up for because they were over capacity. So much for scaling that one (rimshot). In all seriousness I figured that since they knew how many people were to attend that they might have some idea as to capacity.
Now, I lurk among the scribblers.
