I can only sit up for about ten minutes at a time before I get dizzy, so I’m going to make this brief:
It has come to my attention that many people are upset with me, and some of them are even angry at me that I can’t make it out to New Orleans for Red Hat on June 1.
Anyone who knows me will not be surprised to hear that I’m not happy about missing the conference, and I’m pissed that I can’t finish the ACME show I’ve worked on for six months, but but there is just nothing I can do to make my body heal itself faster. Quite honestly, I’m a more than a little offended that anyone would expect me to perform under these circumstances, then have the nerve to get angry with me when I can’t . . . but I won’t go into a medication-fuled rant about that.
However, I really do feel terrible that I can’t make this conference. I feel like I’m letting a lot of people down, and I just want to take a moment and make a very public apology to the Red Hat summit organizers, Jon and Shari at igrep, and especially everyone who was looking forward to hearing me speak. I wish things were different, and I wish I could take two magic pills and make a full recovery in two days instead of two months . . . but it’s entirely out of my hands.

Maybe the people who are mad at you are a bunch of New Age dingleberries who think that you “created your reality” of being sick.
Doll…I really do hope you are feeling a little better by now. Please take good care of yourself.
Wil take care of yourself first…we will still be here when you are feeling better, be it next week or next year. Get better for your wife and kids, they need you around! Rest, rest, rest…and drink lots of fluids! (sorry, that is the mother in me talking!!)
Sheesh!
I can’t believe you actually had to make a public apology.
Screw the jerks, just get better!
You know what? I’m not a diplomat. So about the selfish tossers who can’t look beyond the end of their own nose and realise that yes, even famous people can be ill, I have only one thing to say. Well, apart from them being selfish tossers, obviously. Screw the lot of them. Anyone with a bit of common decency will understand that you couldn’t possibly perform after being hit with all that crap at once. Those who don’t understand? Well, not to be repetitive, but screw the lot of them.
I keep checking back to see how you’re doing. Doesn’t look good.
Get Well Wil
