i went for my usual runs and about 400m out, my left calf felt that it got hit by some rock and then a sharp cramp. i stopped for a while and tried to stretch out and it did not subside. I decided to limp back to my car and went home. i iced it and got all the rehydration salts that i could get my hands on and this morning, the calf was still sore and very tight.  

i went to the sports doc and he said that what i have is what is called a "tennis calf injury" [0] - tennis because that was where it was first reported on tennis courts.

so, i am in a dilemma. everything i have been doing for the last few weeks was to get this fudcon happen successfully. i am also faced with a long airflight to new york on may 26th for which i have to rest well and have to make the hard decision on whether i should go to kl or not.

i am really disappointed, but i think i need to give my calf time to heal and so i will have to miss this fudcon (damn, it is happening in my neck of the woods and i am not there!!).

so there.

| how about this ..
| 
| @cwickert, can you give the "Leadership in leaderless organization"
| talk as the opening keynote?
| 
| @jwulf, your intro to topika will remain in day1 as scheduled , and 
| "Four Keys to Increased Participation in FOSS Projects" will be the 
| keynote for Day 2 (or do you wish to merge them?)
| 
| ^.^

i could use twinkle to do a voip and send my presentation over for someone to click through or (ahem) use google hangout and stream something as well.
