Great son and great parenting. Congrats!!!

Not the hero of my childhood, but the hero of my friends and chrono trigger and dragon quest designer.

I will share this Bandai/Namco spot that shows something you can see around the world:

As we say: run from there my friend!

No, no!! And if you think again, no!!

I saw ruined my dreamed company because almost the same situation (co founder flirting and engaging with a worker), everything was destroyed then.

It took me 2 years to recover from depression and then I had no company, no friend and no workers.

NFW!!

Ok guys, roll for Initiative.

:c

Wine for apple and they called it whisky?

Cider should be the name.

Here in Buenos Aires we love them :)

Tabletop RPG games, with friends and food. Good music, food and friendship is the key.

Argentinian here, we are so deep in the sh*t that in few days we will be paying this tax again because inflation.

In the 90's my dad had a tech support/service company. Small one, less than 10 employees. Fixing monitors was an every day task.

One day a petroleum engineer came with his monitor (from the company he was working) to fix it.

After 1 or 2 days it was fixed and they came to get it back.

After few hours the engineer called very angry.

-it is not my monitor!

-oh, it cannot be

-it is not!

-is this brand and model?

-yes

-read me the service tag at the back

-this

-it is your monitor sir.

-is not and I want my monitor back

-sir, it is your monitor

-no!

So he came back with his monitor. It was his monitor, the technicians tested it again.

-sir, this is your monitor.

-no, I had a completely different background, and different programs, it is not my monitor

-wait, what?

The technicians called the it department and told them the situation.

While the monitor was in service, IT used that free time to update his computer.

The engineer leave my dad's place not 100% convinced

If you are that engineer, the story is still alive 25 years later. Thank you.

I work for them.., they have their ins and outs. The stack is very impressive but there is a loooot to improve yet

Nice try DEA

As Argentinian I should tag this as clickbait

If cheating during exams is the major concern, then there is something really bad going on, and if blocking internet is their solution, that is a sing of what their solutions are.

I will recommend writers, not books.

While reading I was thinking of Dan Harmon's about writing.

It is the same.

Just write/code then, when the thing is done, start the reviewing stage.

Anyway, you never know everything about your project when you start it.

We were two thinking the same.

I want to say that i really hate you

Oh yes, we started doing the pre registration thanks to the software we made and crossing that with people that reserved t-shirts to have an amount of expected people that you know will be there, but it is open to everyone and we always expect "unexpected" people.

The catering was more to the volunteers and speakers so we knew (almost correct) how much people will eat. I cannot remember if we made something like "meal reservstion". We had coffee.

I'm doing another event (megagames) snd there you must pay in advance and that is the catch to be sure you are not saying: I'm going, and you not. Also, we don't make money from that, it is used to run the events and pay the costs to develop a megagame (prints mostly)

Many times conference organizer here.

Every year was the same, we organized an installfest plus talks about free (as in freedom) software and open source products or projects for people.

Every year was thinking where to do that and start talking to places to get the space.

Every year we declined the idea of patronage from private companies to avoid them controlling something. So, the upfront cost was paid by us (think that a team could be from 10 to 20 people)

That could took us maybe 4 months to organize one day, that must be THAT DAY.

Over the years we got experience and we learn a lot from the people doing this event before, setting a schedule to start meetings, having a base of providers, having contacts to ask for space, etc. Our budget was 0 (yes it is a zero) and all cost should be paid by us, the organizers. So to recover that we made t-shirts, and souvenirs (that needed to be paid in advance) then maybe you didn't lost money when the event was finished. Because people didn't pay a ticket for it, it is a free event.

It was a huge effort to make something like that. Months sleeping few hours, people going crazy to setup tracks for talks, approving them and talking to the people that gave the talk to accommodate the schedule. Having the t-shirts on time and the souvenirs, because if not, we will not broke, but we cannot recover the founds. Having the cables and the network ready, the software and servers to install was also a huge task.

Food and water..? Yes, that is a crazy nightmare

We even developed Eventol[1], a software to schedule this kind of events. Yes it is open source also.

Organizing a conference looks easy but really, if you work and you do that, get good people around you. Look what they are good for and what they enjoy doing and give them task that make them happy. It could sound almost a stupid advice, but is not, if they are not being paid and even when they are paid, if you gives a task were they are bad to or something they don't like, it could fail and that means delays. And your conference is already scheduled and you cannot say: sorry, it will be not this weekend, will be the next one. No.

I was happy to be attendant first, volunteer for some years, then get the experience to be the manager of sooo experienced people and got milestones in the event history, from record of attendance, to earn money and stop losing it (that was for the next year event) or the software we used and it is open to everyone.

Anyway, after the conference.., you needed 8 months to relax your mind and body and start again that crazy idea to run a conference about free Software and for free.

As an acquired experience, when you got that running, you can start thinking to be a wedding planner if you wants to move from IT, because a conference is something like that when we talk about organization :v

Even when I'm not an active member on some ones, I will carry them with me for ever.

Aside of that, any hiking group I found.

As Argentinian, and particularly, from Buenos Aires, one thing that I hate from US is the lack of public transportation network, bus stops and people that don't know the concept of line-up.

Oh, nice tabletop roleplay game Acthung! Cthulhu thanks to share some background for an adventure.

That is a really nice idea for datahoarders like me.

A protocol to announce a change on the collection by one of their members and being announced by the whole system.

I will leave this here if you don't have "land" to grow your own crops. It is in Spanish.

The guy is from buenos Aires, doing everything with our selling anything and recycling everything with permacultura in mind.

As some of the comments said, it is more about how you see what you are doing in relation with others and why.

i was teaching robotics years ago for schools (elementary and intermediate). A big tech company gave to me the materials and the place to do that. Then schools choose a date to come and we have the classes. The schedule was completed almost a year in advance. For the schools was free.

Was one of my best experiences, and yes, the payment was very low, but i was teaching.., maybe 10 hours a week.

Noobs..
