you guys forgot something on that list

 

Well... you could go and write something in your new blog... I did!

 

To kill time while waiting...

I decided to move my 3 old web hosting plans (for three different domains) into one new one with more features for less $, and get the DNS pointed in the right direction, all by talking to a nice fellow who though he had a good command of English had a accent so thick I simply could not make out what he was trying to say... I'll just wait a couple hours and see what happens. On both counts.

 

Are we there yet?

 

Ummmm, okay - really didn't think I would find something about this online, but . . . . I did:

How to Use Time Spent Standing in Line

 

Just sitting here watching the paint dry. Munching on Girl Scout Cookies.

 

The second Registration opens, the gates will be hell... I will feel sorry for the servers and the banks will be looking and they will thin k the market went to all craps... (due to the all the sudden bank transactions and the server overloads..)

yea, I am a nerd... I am telling you Mark is holding back to watch us squirm. He is kicking back in his chair getting a chuckle... Like ants and the magnifying glass....

Mark, Just kidding, I am sure there is "important" paperwork to be done..

but really he is ..

 

Or he's waiting to see who else will join the rebel ALLIANCE and crush the evil empire.
I find your lack of faith disturbing... (sound of breathing through a regulator).

Sorry about that last part, but I have resorted to watching old Star Wars movies in order to pass the time.

 

Totally got that..

Registration to open it must.. and payment sent I will

 

I don't know. I bought an iMac last week and registered it. I also bought a new MINI three months ago... I had to renew the vehicle registration this month.

 

Maybe he's working on a registration discount for NAM Alliance members

 

Oh Cotrare' <-Spelling??

 

You guys crack me up. I'm working on it right now trying to collect all the myriad pieces of information that have to be included from all the coordinators. Not only that but we're still trying to get final costs on the big tent we have to have this year to support some dinners, registration, a vendor area, etc. At least this year EVERYONE will have the opportunity to get dinners each night if they want them. No headcount limits for the dinners mean that everyone is going to be welcome

Stay tuned and keep eating those cookies...I've been working 18 hour days on this, training a new developer, and getting other information together. I know everyone is looking forward to the event. I am too but I'll also be glad when I can sleep in on May 5th

Mark

 

So the idea of you making discounted prices for ALLIANCE members is out the window...

Or is it...

 

Unfortunately its not something that I can do. The Alliance membership costs support the magazine and development costs of the program. Also, MOTD, as compared to other car events is already at a pretty low cost. If someone would like to step up and take all the event coordination and software stuff on I would be happy to make their registration free

Mark

 

oh man...you guys is so funny! I brought fresh milk...are there still cookies?

Mark, this is become a..well, I guess, Dragon tradition..

The Champing at the Bit for Registration..

Once you get to the Dragon, you will understand the scope of this event. Lots and lots and lots of details to take care of, so that everyone has a space, food to eat and a place to eat it...
and on and on.

I have faith in Mark..he's done a pretty good job in past years..

 

Thanks but I think that in dog years I've aged about 80 years doing this

 

Software stuff? Do tell...

 

Well I'm all out of cookies, had to break down and hit the Cold Stone Creamery......mmmmmmm.......cake battter ice cream with peanut butter and brownies.................good times................. think I've put on 10lbs waiting for registration Hope I still fit in my MINI

 

CAKE BATTER?!? EVIL!

 

I can't even imagine your stress level...hang in there.

 

pure

 

bbbwwwwooooosssshhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmm bbbbwwwwooooooossssshhhhhhmmmmmmmm

Coming through with dustbuster to get cookie crumbs. We might have to stand in line, but we can at least be neat about it! Jeez yunz guys are messy!

Snooter! Lift your feet! (sneaking a bite of cake batter ice cream )

 

What kind of software....

 

Thanks. I found it and couldn't help but use it.
