This I Learned: to confuse invaders, Brussels ofen has two names for train stations and posts their signs at least ten meters apart. Your travel app gives one, and you see another out the window. Until of course you disregard the station and see the second sign after the doors have closed. Diabolical.

I have a thought: Conference SWAG is available to event attendees on demand to enable: Delivery to remote participants Delivery in advance to be ready with it Optional purchase of extras Optional purchase if you can’t attend Optional higher-grade items Optional opting out/donating your item(s) Reordering after laundering disasters

I was concerned that #bhyvecon would be good, but not insane, but as of a few hours ago, it will be mildly insane. Please sponsor when you register to cover venue costs and gifts via https://bsdfund.org are always appreciated. See you in Brussels and online.
