    Artist Alley Table Rule #17: You will always get busiest exactly when you really need to be something else.

    Rule #17-A: Acting busy to deliberately invoke this rule doesn’t work

    Rule 17-b; The number of people coming to the table will be directly proportional to the need that one has to go to the rest room. The more you gotta go, the more people show up at your table.

      Rule-17-b-2: Again, trying to use this deliberately doesn’t work.

        Rule 17-b-3: You’ll stop being busy if you start peeing on people.

        Mostly because you’ll get arrested.

        But sometimes you do what you need to.

          I feel there’s yet another layer for people who won’t go away when peed upon, but I don’t want to think about it too much…

    As a Dealer, I’ve long known that the best-ever “Summon Customers” Spell is to dash off to the restroom when the Dealers’ Room has been *dead* for ages. There’ll be at least half a dozen impatient folks clustered in your booth by the time you get back… :-}

  • 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

Because that would be weird.
