RSA 2007 at San Francisco

Day 1
Arrived at SFO and went to Serrano Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
Had dinner with Trenders in Hooters Fishermans Wharf. Kasama namin is Rica sa Hooters :). Bought some Hooters shirt for me and my moms :)
Day 2
Registered at the Moscone Center.
Since the session will be in the afternoon, pasyal pasyal muna kame San Francisco Wharf.
Seen Alcatraz Island. Viewed the seagulls and the seals at Pier 39. See the Queen Mary 2, the largest (steam) ship that was docked in the bay area for its cruise something, sabi sa news 180K usd pax daw cost ng isang tour.
They had clam chowder on sourdough bread, but since kakakain ko pa lang sa Inn n Out burger, I skipped the chowder. Me next time pa naman. Babalik ako dun for the chowder.
Day 3
Seen Bill Gates in his Keynote Speech together with Craig Mundie at 8am. Wow what a crowd! Laki kase ng hall kung saan nag-talk si Bill Gates, parang concert hall e, siguro mga 10000+ tao dun sa hall. Medyo nakakaantok yung talk nila, kase wala naman bago, pero seeing of the richest man in the world will keep you awake.
Shook hands with Eugene Kaspersky. Eugene did some talk on the latest malware threats. Standing Room, umupo na lang kme sa gitna ng aisle. OK ang accent nya russian na russian :p Kidding aside, naaliw talaga ako sa kanya, kaya after ng talk nakipagkamay ako, sabi ko its a pleasure to meet you here in person, inacknowledge naman nya me. Sana after the shake-hands makuha ko powers nya para sa detection rankings mwehehe!
