25 June - Had a lovely weekend in
London, in the flat of Lynn and Mike's friend Helen. Great deal of
respite. No worries whether a dog would pick me up and take me to her
bed as a pseudo puppy. Understand that Mike was a bit distress having
'forgotten' me (but he knew I was safe). He's back down tonight
(Monday) so I might be crushed by morning.

19 June -Mike was hosting a dinner for BOX.COM in London on the night in advance of their announcement
of expansion into Europe. However despite the fact he captured me at
the head of the table, when it came to the 'real business' I was sent
back to the bag.Meeting Oracle - meeting Big Data
28 April - my/our biggest gig in a
while, 300+ for the Oracle Big Data conference in London, to coincide
with 'Big Data Week' (That's me on the podium before the audience came in). Mike gave a keynote alongside Doug Cutting of
Cloudera, and Oracle's best people in the area. Very scary. Oracle
events tend to attract the 'brightest and the best' (and a range of
independent 'hangers on'). However Big Data appears to be the topic
of the moment. Mike says it is the logical maturity of the concept
of 'knowledge management - the idea of having access to the
totality of an organisation's informational assets, so you can make
the best decisions... zzzzzzzzzzzz
He might have something, but I am just
a bear, what do I know?
