Well, I did say that I would submit a talk to OSCON this year. And, the CFP is out. And, I don’t really doubt that I could talk intelligently for half-an-hour about high performance systems.

And yet, I just can’t manage to sit down and write up an abstract. Of course, part of the problem is that it’s really hard to write an abstract before you’ve written the paper / talk. But, I’m also just going through a bit of a slump where I’m just not really excited about much of anything, and it’s really hard to work up enthusiasm for something over 6 months in the future. Plus, every sentence I write just seems to come out as lame marketing-speak.
