While I prevaricate over what or whether to write about Freerotation 2024, I thought it might divert you all to read what my barely-23-year-old self wrote about Freerotation 2009, which was the first of three editions I attended before taking a 13 year break.

This was published on my original wordpress blog, and of course some things about Freero and about me have changed since then — comically so, in some instances — but many things remain pretty much the same.
