Welcome to my live blog (probably) here from JavaOne. The probably is because I hurt my wrist a week ago. This is the most typing I’ve done on a laptop since so will see how it works out! [typing is going fine on a laptop. Not ready to type fast on the iPad keyboard though. Luckily there is power so I’m able to recharge the laptop]

The day started with Duke welcoming attendees. Hi Duke! (Check out his badge/job title). I made a joke about hoping they didn’t charge Duke for the badge. The Oracle employee said Duke is the host!

Check in was fast and there was a coat check. Appreciated not having to carry around a coat all day!
