The last three weeks have been a really hectic time, trying to pool together the ever-expanding list of Confluence requirements. Well, it was fun and perhaps irritating at times, but at the end of it all the event was a definite success and everyone who participated, including the troublesome Tree-Planters, was pleased with the provisions.

I have too many people to thank for making this event possible, and working through tireless hours and ridiculously short timelines to deliver the end product. My suppliers, colleagues, partner, friends and even the clients, who were really understanding, deserve my most heartfelt thanks.

I was really looking forward to a short break, maybe a trip to somewhere temperate after the event. Alas, that was not to be, not just because of the queue of other jobs in line, but also due to the fact that the joyous mood was somehow never there to greet me at the end of the tunnel.

No doubt I have made great friends in the process of getting Confluence up, friends and possibly future comrades whom I believe I can count on to make things happen. Some companies have also expressed their interest in furthering a business relationship, which is supposedly a good take home.

Oddly, I am not the least bit happy that it is over. Neither the success of the event or the great feedback was of consolation. In the end, I feel as empty as before, as I know that when mapped unto the greatest visual perception, I have not achieved anything at all. In fact, such events merely serve to push humanity further down the path of Darwin’s Nightmare.

Anyways, I will be taking a break for the next few days, at least to physically recuperate.
