Heading to Seattle, WA
Jun. 17th, 2011 07:31 amOh hey, I should announce: I'm going to be in Seattle this weekend. So if you're in Seattle too, and want to visit me, or me to visit you, or however these things work, then let me know.
I'm trying to plan out my schedule for the next few months. Some of you may find this a useful reference. It'd be really neat if someone were to enter all this info into a public Google Calender or something (like ConThingy, but that looks a little bit broken at the moment).

Belated update
Sep. 19th, 2010 01:11 amI've been meaning to write something here for a while, but you know, life keeps on happening. I was going to announce that I'm going to Sweden, but now I've left Sweden. I was there speaking at Sec-T, got interviewed by the press, and was randomly invited to a rave out in the middle of the woods — but still within public transit access, since this is Sweden after all. (It was basically just like the renegade parties in the bay area if you were wondering.) So, then I took a train from Stockholm to Malmö and crashed with my old friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atavist. We took the bus to Copenhagen (yes, over the sea) and I hopped onto a night train to Leuven, by way of Köln and Liège-Guillemins. On this trip, I've encountered quite a few people who didn't speak English. Switching rapidly between English, Swedish, German, French, and Dutch/Flemish has got me so that I'm totally saying the wrong words whenever I try to speak to someone. (I mean like mixing words and syntax from three languages in the same sentence.)
Friday I presented a seminar at COSIC, and spent most of the day there talking to people. (More news later…) And Saturday I got my breakfast, and lunch at the farmer's market here in Leuven. Then explored the city for a while. (The Fonske statue is missing from the Fochplein!) And I'm about to head to Brussels tomorrow to catch a flight back to Arlanda via Riga - to catch my return flight to the US. I'll be wandering around in the streets of Brussels tomorrow afternoon — it's a no-car-day tomorrow. (Speaking of which, I have not been inside a car since I left California.)
Oh, and I'm also going to be speaking at SecTor in Toronto next month.

State of the Foxgrrl Address
Feb. 4th, 2010 01:13 pmI caught a sinus-cold/flu/infection/something; It seems that I only post on LJ when I'm ill. [Probably because it's the only time when I have time.] Well, actually that's not entirely true. Other than a few outings, I've been being a hermit the last few months. I'm just emotionally burnt out, or it's seasonal depression, or (as I believe) hibernation. (Seriously, when the weather is cold, I just want to eat lots of food and sleep.)
Speaking of food. I've been completely vegetarian so far all year¹. Not quite vegan, because I've had eggs twice, and dairy a few times (which I really shouldn't as my body doesn't react to dairy well). Mostly I wanted to see if I could do it, and it's something I've been considering for a long time. My diet was already mostly vegetables anyway for the last few years, so I just stopped eating chicken and fish last month. I've noticed the more raw vegetables I eat, the healthier and more energetic I feel. Aside from this cold/flu/thing I just caught, I've been feeling very physically healthy for the previous month. No so mentally healthy however; I've just really been wanting to be alone for a bit. I need to pull myself and my life back together, figure out who I am, who I want to be, and what I want to do. (And I can't really be myself when other people are around.)
I'm also not flying out to DC for Shmoocon this weekend. The last time I flew with a sinus infection I ended up in the ER with a ruptured sinus cavity. (It was one of those, "Why am I coughing up blood?" situations. Not fun.)
And speaking of conferences. I'm giving a talk at PH-Neutral in May. It'll be something interesting about the PDF format, and the horrible things you can do with it. And I haven't heard back yet to know if I'm speaking at CSW this year or not. (It would be on the [approximately] twelve Acrobat 0-days in the last [approximately] twelve months.) I'll probably drop by the RSA Expo for a day too. If anyone wants free Expo passes I've got a marketing code for one.
(Also for those that know, I've gotten that big financial problem sorted out, and even got a refund.)
¹ I should go have a steak to celebrate this achievement!
