+==== Down Under ====
+
+Yesterday I had to clear my room, pack my stuff at OneCambridgeCenter, and
+say goodbye to many, many good friends and colleges. I don't even know when
+I'll be able to see them again. Not exactly a happy day, you may have guessed.
+
+Today, after 22 hours of flight, I started to have visions. At the baggage reclaim,
+I thought I was talking with the kernel god LinusTorvalds. He said that userspace
+is easy and that he cannot exactly agree iwith some of the choices made in Python.
+We'd really get along if it wasn't just a dream :-)
+
+Later on, I reached the hotel and got into the elevator with a ginger guy
+that looked vaguely familiar. I asked if he was going at LCA.
+
+ -- //Yes.//
+
+ -- //Are you a software developer?//
+
+ -- //Well... not primarily...//
+
+Blink!
+
+ -- //Oh, you must be JonathanCorbet, the editor of LinuxWeeklyNews!//
+
+ - //Indeed.//
+
+Today was a really exciting day! I needed something like this to compensate,
+at least partially, for leaving Boston.
+
+----
+
+Hi Bernie! Just stepped here looking for the photos of XOs hanging from the ceiling (i wanted to show them to my father) and found you leaving!
+
+So, have a nice journey, enjoy conf.au and see you soon!

If you're wondering what it means, it's a piece of japanese poetry called a HaikuPoem.
Google for it.

On this very nice lake, I stupdily tried to run on the ice and fell badly, hitting my jaw
and cheek on the hard ice. Little cut, big bump... no permanent consequences. Maybe I
should consider a health insurance?
