+==== 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 with 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, I am".
+"Are you a software developer?". "Hmm... not primarily". Blink! "Oh, my god!
+You must be JohnathanCorbet, the editor of LinuxWeeklyNews!". "Indeed".
+
+Today was really an exciting day! I needed it to forget, at least partially,
+the sadness of my leaving!
