I'm sitting here in front of my PC, sweating in the heat wave that has been hitting Italy in the last couple of weeks (temperatures around 35° C and rising) and wondering why on earth didn't I think about attending JavaOne (14° C at 1PM!), where I'd meet all the people whose blogs I use to read, like Ovidiu, Andy, Chiara, Erik, Mike, Simon, Werner, Cedric, Cameron, Steve and Alan.
