GerMittens 2013 - No Bandwidth Edition (aftermath)

[bicilotti]

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...DGE!

:_( for not coming (really :_(, I was hoping to meet you this summer), but for finding a job in such difficult times!

[cat]

That's bad news  Could you at least change your flight so you can still be with us that weekend in Berlin?

[abstauber]

Aw man, I feel like I'm the worst host in the history of Mittens  If there's one thing I've learned, then it's listening to Snarky and overbook the place like there's no tomorrow. I hope for the best that I don't scare away the rest of you.

But congrats for your new job, it's understandable not to argue with your future boss without having signed the contracts yet. You can still send us a postcard to make us happy

[Miez]

Aw, that's a shame LimpingFish Congrats with the new job, but I was looking forward to seeing you again...

[Igor Hardy]

And I was hoping you'll be telling us goodnight horror stories every night.

[m0ds]

Bah, sorry to hear about that Chris. But I agree, stick it to the man and come along!

[m0ds]

Mittens + worldwide terror alert. Nothing new there then!

[LimpingFish]

Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

I've just sent a PM to Abstauber, to verify I was cancelling, and just as I clicked the SEND button, part of my brain began to scream blue murder. And as I read these last few posts, that part of my brain is now howling "Idiot! Idiot! Just go, you wuss!"

Nnnnnnmmmmmggghhh...dare I give in? Dare I double flip-flop, and really annoy Abstauber?

...

I feel like such a lemon.

Updates pending.

Is it...a sign?

Feel the lure of Mittens.

* bicilotti glues his finger to 'F5' and reloads like there is no tomorrow

[Miez]

Flip da flop. Do it!

[cat]

Yes, do the flip-flop!

On another note: is anyone going to show and tell something? Do we need some kind of adapter-thingy to connect a laptop?

[arj0n]

Yes, do the flip-flop!
Just explain at your new job this situation, maybe they understand and let you have your mittens holiday after all.
How do you English peops say that: nothing ventured nothing gained...?
So, put your best limping foot forward, Fish!

[abstauber]

@cat: I think those flat screens all have a hdmi port, so it should be easy to connect a computer to the screen. If don't forget it, I'll bring a 2m hdmi cable.

[DoorKnobHandle]

+1 on the HDMI cable, that would definitely be useful!

Also: note to self, don't forget to bring a quiz prize!

[cat]

Do you also have a VGA->HDMI adapter?

[arj0n]

Abstauber: since the Accommodation & Facilities section only states 'internet', do you know if can we also use the classic lan cable or is it wifi only?

[Snarky]

It would be grand if you could be there, LF, so come on and make with the flip-flop!

[abstauber]

@cat for analog to hdmi you'd need an active converter instead of just an adapter. But most of the newer flat-screens still have an VGA port (at least mine does). You just need to make sure to bring a cinch audio cable as well

@Arjon: I'm pretty sure, they have a tiny wifi-router stored in a closet and no dedicated LAN wires across the house. So yes, it might be possible, but not very convenient.

[Snarky]

The quiz should be particularly interesting this year, as I am making one of the prizes One Hundred Million Dollars (real money).

[selmiak]

and the question is: How will breaking bad end?
