Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

Today I should have been jetting off with British Airways to Denver for Collaborate’08, however last night I noticed that I couldn’t check in online, and when I checked the flight status the flight had been cancelled. By the time I found out it was too late to call the ticket office, so I set my alarm for 6am this morning when they opened and called to find out what was happening. Apparently it was “technical reasons” which strikes me as a bit strange as I presume BA have more than one jet and the flight was cancelled about 18 hours before it was due to leave, however I managed to get myself booked on the same flight tomorrow which means I’ll arrive in Denver around 7pm on Sunday night. Although this will get me there in time for my presentation - assuming BA don’t lose my luggage as well - it does mean that I’ll miss the OTN Oracle ACEs meal, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to this.

Anyway, one thing that’s been a bit strange about getting ready to travel over is the weather in Denver. What with the mountains nearby the weather can apparently be a bit changeable, I took a look at the BBC forecast and it looks like this:

So in Fahrenheit, in one week we’re going from about the mid-sixties to the high seventies and lots of sunshine, then going down to the low fifties later in the week with lots of rain. Looks like the time to get out and about will be earlier in the week, I’ll have to see if I can pop out after my talk on Monday afternoon and take a look around. Look out for more postings from Pete and myself as the week goes by.
