Awesome. Feel free to hit me up at well when you're in NYC! Stumbling into doing what you really love is .... magical. Consulting is a lot of work, make sure you have your work pipelined far ahead of time yet avoid overloading yourself!

Sounds like you've had a benignly interesting year and learned a lot. What more could someone want?

Come for SummerCon http://www.summercon.org

Likewise Egor - I'd be very excited to meet. I was extremely impressed with the issues you had raised last year, and would love to buy you a beer
