There is a big conspiracy in the Perl World, trying to keep me from all major conferences and teasing me while doing so.
Want proof?
This year:
YAPC::NA in Buffalo, I'm in Europe, but in Toronto just one month later (for studying, so till the end of the year), YAPC::EU in Belfast, during the time me being in North America.
Next year:
Don't know about YAPC::EU yet (but I bet they'll schedule it so that I have Exams, or whatever) but YAPC::NA is here in T.O. (I won't be there unless I win the lottery).
See, the Camel God just hates me.
