Lunch etc..

Rather good lunch of Chinese food and great desserts..

Chatted with a few people and exchanged some business cards.

We spotted Charlie Aerhart before his ColdFusion Builder presentation and introduced ourselves (or at least wanted to let him know we were from Surfline and thanks for the help he gave us before.)

Nothing really specifically relevant being talked about during this time, so we're kind of taking a break, checking emails etc..
Although ColdFusion builder does look pretty cool. Basically an eclipse style IDE for ColdFusion. Charlie says it works with Linux and under CF8.

Before lunch we caught up with the Fusion Analytics "booth" and saw some stuff on that. Basically, it's an analytics program that works hand in hand with Fusion Reactor to analyze all the data that comes back. They claim Fusion Reactor takes up no more than 1% of the processor to run and it does look pretty amazing, when joined with Fusion Analytics. Its a per-instance license, but we may want to seriously consider it. There's a 10-day free trial. We should get everything lined up time-wise and try it out, so we can get the most out of the demo.

The upcoming 2:45-3:45 time slot has two presentations that I want to go to "Cache me if you can", given by the same presenter that introduced the ehcache stuff earlier at the keynote as well as "Advanced T-SQL", which I'd like to go to because I'm kind of the de facto DB guy, and should probably be up to speed on things like that... I may end up going to the cache one, though... Decisions, decisions..

  2. This works on a per server license ($299/per) and also has a clustering system whereby one fusion reactor serves as a master and others report to it. We could go with a single license and assume that all servers are behaving similarly or they indicated that there are bulk license options too - (perhaps $2k for 10?)

    Other cool options - reactor can do monitoring, notification and action based on rules. EG:

    If load time greater than10 second then roll the instance, email monitor@surfline.com
    If errors contain the string "windWeatherBar" email graeme
    If SQL response time etcetc

  3. Met michael from gmpgroup.net (mike@) - working with a UK marine charting company that's looking for possible sources of weather data for an app. They'll be in touch.
