Field Promotion
Technicon, as it is wont to do, is putting on a Whose Con Is It Anyway? show on Saturday. A week ago, I gladly accepted a request to participate. Last night, I discovered I was running it.
Err… I’m not panicking. Really. Is it a compliment to be secretly promoted from Ryan Stiles to (Clive Anderson / Drew Carey)?
Seriously, I’m cool with this, this is just the standard con surprise 🙂 The news was a bit startling, though!
(P.S. It’s now 0930 on 03/28, and the banner on the con home page says that the con starts in 14 hours. If that is indeed the case, i will be a bit late.)
Hull breach
One of the screen hinges on my battered Apple TiBook has just snapped. This can quickly lead to screen failure (and is darn inconvenient). Had this happened 3 months from now, it would have been of little import, but time and funds are short just now, and I was planning on taking the laptop to TCon.
I have rainbowsaber‘s old TiBook casing. I might try to scrounge the part from it, but it’s major surgery if I do – last time I did this, soldering and heat-shrink tubing came into play. 🙁
Random lyrics meme
I did the random opening lyrics meme. Some of ’em are pretty easy, and others I’ll be shocked if anyone works out without Googling.
Job details
To answer some of the questions from the last post:
The job’s at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton Roads – only 30 minutes’ drive from where I live now. (More if the Bridge-Tunnel’s clogged, but we are looking into solutions for that issue.) But yes, I’ll definitely be staying here on the coast.
It’s going to be Macintosh Desktop Support, much like I did for Decipher – definitely an area of my expertise, and it’ll start giving me more experience with the new Intel Macs.
I will absolutely still make TCon. In fact, this job offer is welcome to me in multiple ways, as the con was kinda financially iffy before I got this news 🙂
Thanks to everyone who’s cheering for me. There’s educational and advancement possibilities here, and I have to say I’m very excited!
Houston, we have… good news
Busy, rainy Friday… not much to talk about.
Oh, yeah, except I start work at NASA in two weeks.
Yeah, that’s all.
(Who’m I kidding? WOOOOT!!! NASA!!!! Yay mad Macintosh skillz!)
