In 17 days, I’ll be in Florida. I’m heading down to Palm Beach on business, then over to Tampa to visit friends, and catch a Lightning game. The tickets are vastly cheaper than in Ottawa.

I’m heading out to ShmooCon 2006. I’m arriving in Washington DC on Wednesday the 11th, and departing on Sunday the 12th. I’m arriving early in case the weather closes in.

It has been nearly three months since my last post. Let me change that now. BSDCan 2005 was a roaring success. We had 197 people, up from 175 last year.
