NYC*BUG Social this evening. Hope everyone is having a good start to 2026. As crazy as things are out there.

This morning, four calls. My throat feels like it’s been scrubbed with sandpaper, but three new projects ranging from cloud systems to BSDs. Definitely worth it.
My BSDCan submission has been approved!
It will be wonderful to be back in Ottawa, meet again all the "old" (and new) friends from the BSD world and, this time, present something that has saved me more than once... and it’s based on NetBSD!

I’ve just received a wonderful email. I’m so excited!
More about this in the coming days.
This morning I was thinking about something: one of the reasons why every enthusiast should consider going to a BSDCon is simple.
I eat a lot and I still come back slimmer 😄
2024 - EuroBSDCon: ate twice as much as usual, came back from Dublin 1 kg lighter.
2025 - BSDCan: breakfasts that could cover a whole day’s calories, huge delicious meals... came back from Ottawa 0.5 kg lighter.
2025 - EuroBSDCon: double breakfast (sweet + savory), massive lunches, delicious dinners (including a huge pizza, as @outofcreativity, @angie and @mwl can confirm) and still came back 0.5 kg lighter.
Positive emotions burn calories.
So come to BSDCons: you’ll come back happy and slimmer!

Indeed, I can confirm @stefano ate like a grown-up.

New #blog post: Why You Need A Stack of Thinkpads

Thankful to Nanoraptor/Dana (will tag her elsewhere) for inadvertently reminding me to write this down. XD
Welp, I'm back in the saddle, I guess? Writing this gave me some nummy dopamine, so thank God for that!!!
Also, man is imgur ever a dreadful webshite. Just horrifying to use. XD
