Alas, I won’t be at #BSDCan this year.

Travelling is a big financial and mental cost. I overspent last year on BSDCan and AsiaBSDCon and so missed the #OpenZFS Dev Summit. So I’m saving both to make sure I can get there this year.

It’s unclear if I will make it though. Managing an anxiety disorder is about finding the stable and predictable paths through the world. The USA seems uninterested in stable and predictable right now, and I don’t yet know if I can overcome it, or if I even want to.

Will you be at #BSDCan? Do you run a one-person EU company?

Please look me up there. I'd like to interrogate you--uh, "have a conversation."
