I loved this!
A nice reminder to just do it.
I forget to submit, and more often than not i also talk myself out of
submitting. Not going to the two conferences named here, but i hoped to go
to FScons, in gothenburg. But missed the deadline for proposals due to
doubt and stress. I keep thinking proposals are so much work that i will
never have the time to prepare properly. Even if the experiences i have had
says otherwise. FS people are a very friendly audience.
