Ducking out of the conference to grab a coffee ’round the corner, remembering to remove my lanyard so I don’t look like a douchebadge.

Medicating with spicy kimchee chicken ramen.
Spent the afternoon holed up in my hotel room when I should have been listening to the excellent @ArtifactConf talks.
Airplanes; public transport; hotel room air-conditioning …all these factors seem to have conspired to give me a dose of the sniffles.
