    I’m picturing 10 more minutes of intermittent “But what if” “No.” 40 seconds later: “Yeah but what” “NO.” 2 minutes later:”Wait” “NO!” She’s demanding a lot here!

      The internal explanation can also include the reasoning that they aren’t worth our time. We’re too busy planning a successful convention.

    She may be demanding a lot, but this is the only good path to take. Honestly, one I would as well.

    The best response to someone who is trying to game you is to not play the game. At least, not play the game by the rules they set.

    While I agree playing his game is a bad idea, it seems there should be -some- official response.

      Absolutely not.

      Making any kind of public response is giving it credence. It actually makes it WORSE when you acknowledge crazy shit because its the crazy shit that’s looking for attention.

      If it were something that Borkcon did that was fucked up, and them admitting fault, that is one thing. But this? This is another person making a seemly ‘private’ e-mail public and editing it for his own game in the hopes that he can bring down another con through a drawn out negative PR game.

      No matter what you do publically it puts you in a no-win scenero, not even recovering PR. What Jim did is genius sure, but it wasn’t smart.

      Because people figure this out eventually when the cards are play correctly, which is what Lynn is going for.

  • 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.
