    I read the comic before I saw the title. “Laziest coup ever” made me laugh heartily, I’ve actually been in a situation similar to this with a non-profit I once worked with. I became the entire Board for about a day and had only started as a volunteer a couple weeks prior. Outstanding level of incompetence they displayed.

    I want to see Perry’s face now. I feel like there could be a fight down the road which may involve Lynn resolving the issue her way. This looks like a funny story that’s going to unfold into 1 hell of drama and by doing so it’s going to progress Bork Con’s recruitment a lot.

    Different places have different rules. I know at our university, a Club needed a President, Vice, and Secretary. Think was 4 additional students who needed to be involved to create a club. Not sure the requirements for continuing one, nor what happens if a club fails to meet the requirements.

      Well this is also taking place in late January, so the club was active in the fall when it scheduled the meetings. I was originally going to have a line about the constitution not mentioning a minimum quorum, but Lynn’s wall of text was pretty long in panel 2 already.

      And technically Ruth just replaced the President. Any other club officers technically still have their positions.

      (When I was writing this I actually pulled my alma mater’s Anime Club constitution and read it to check if this story was plausible, and it totally could happen there!)

        Works for me. So long as none of the other club members (former members?) object, could go quite smoothly. If they do object however, could make for a bumpy ride.

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
