As usual, the moment has arrived, and still doesn’t feel particularly real. Until I get on the plane, I guess.

In the morning, I will leave for Amsterdam. Yes, it’s very early. Something to do with Queen’s Day making tickets hard to come by.

And, no, I’m not ready yet. I’m not packed. I haven’t put the finishing touches on my presentations yet. And I haven’t even begun to get my in the conference frame of mind. This is all rather odd, given that I’ve been thinking about the conference pretty steadily for the last 2 or 3 months. But, it always seems to sneak up on me.

So, I’ll see you there, if you’re going to be there. And I’ll miss you if you’re not.

Oh, and if you’re going to be there, and want to be interviewed for FeatherCast, please try to track me down early on in the conference, so that I’m not rushing around like a maniac the last day or two. I’m sure I’ll be doing that quite enough without any help.
