International Travel is Overrated

To describe myself as feeling like I’ve been stamped on is an understatement. Sleep is good, although somehow eluding my pursuit.
Shenanigans of journalists and companies is far deeper than you could ever imagine, and people from both sides forget everyone is human at the end of the day. However, there’s still the self-preservation interest everybody has of themselves, their work and their own sites/products so it’s always going to be a conflict of interest. It’s the problem of public domain versus NDA, whether specs were leaked before hand and comments were made on them, or whether simply attending an event means you cannot comment on something happening within it without confirming what’s happening in it?

Tunisia is a great place, however I couldn’t spent too long there. It’s a shame AMD decided we should spend two entire days INSIDE for the meetings. They might as well had it in a diamond mine a few thousand miles south: it would have been just as hot and dark. Although, from a personal experience now, and at least someone I know will disagree, everyone I met at ATI is genuinely nice. They are still people of after all. It’s just a shame that no one from AMD was actually there and we’ll have to wait until K10 is released. In all, it’s still a long way from an IDF-esq event in its entirety .
