    Oh, that’s evil. Eevil. This way Lynn gets her version of events out to the Unagi Con staff before Jim can. Not that Jim won’t try to spin it his way, of course.

      It means word gets out to whoever monitors contact@unagicon.com. If it’s Jim, it’s Jim who gets the word first. “contact” looks like an address given out for all inbound communications to unagi con. It doesn’t look like an alias for the entire permanent staff.

      Given that Unagi con is a bit chaotic behind the scenes, one wonders if and how long the contact address goes unchecked.

      Question though: Shouldn’t Bork Con staff have Bork Con e-mail addresses? Surely they aren’t using personal e-mail for con business. It’s usually best to keep that kind of stuff separate.

        Yes, but this shouldn’t come from Lynn@Unagi or even Director@Unagi, it needs to come from a more generic account or another staffer so that Jim can’t blame it on “Lynn’s sour grapes”. Staff@Unagi works for that.

        (and I agree, her email needs to go to anyone but Jim. Contact probably doesn’t just go to him, but in her place I’d be CCing everyone on both boards so there was no doubt it would go through with a clear record.)

          I think John was referring to Glenn and Maggie’s email addresses, not Lynn’s. They probably would want to have generic/business email addresses for each director or major position in the convention org, ones that aren’t personal/private addresses, either a fixed account on the convention server or a remailer/pointer that can be passed on. I think technically I have a generic address for the convention I work with, something like Tech@*.com; but since the passwords and access are always FUBAR, I never use it.

          That said, it is notable that the domain for the above addresses is owned by Trae, so Trae doesn’t run afoul of sending traffic to or needing to procure the domains Bork-Con or BorkCon (*.com *.org *.biz etc etc)

          Trae, 50+ year old punks would never use the expression 5eva for anything

            You assume Glenn set up his own email address.

    “…your your convention director…” Err? I suppose it’s realistic, too much anticipation of the burn makes for serious typo territory.

      Normally I would correct that sort of thing, but I figure she hasn’t hit send yet 😛

  • 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
