#conventions

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

If you are planning conferences, conventions and trade shows over the next several months, it's very likely that there will be attendance declines due to the current political climate.

It's going to be a very rough time for organizers and events alike this year and I feel for them especially the smaller orgs and non profits.

New #introduction post!

My name is Rory! I'm a fluffy red panda and yes, I do like apples, naps, and big scares.

I work for a county government as a #water / #wastewater treatment plant operator. I love what I do and enjoy talking about all things water and wastewater including how to better utilize these resources better for a more sustainable future.

I have a background in #EmergencyManagement and #EnvironmentalScience / #Sustainability / and #HumanEcology. Hit me up and let's nerd out about population dynamics and how they impact resource usage, sometime!

I have interests in: #GIS #boardgames #gaming #pc #playstation #NintendoSwitch #CloudComputing #ClusterComputing #RaspberryPi #serveradmin #linux #SteamDeck #linuxgaming #reading #audiobooks #photography #conventions

From scratch should (and would) be possible if said #configuration isn't just proprietary bs but actually following a documented syntax akin to any proper #configuration.

  • I assume this is NOT the case cuz otherwise you'd not offer said job.

Not to mention #vendors prefer #siloing amd #Enshittifying products, so having #InterchangeableFormats goes against their primary #commercial interests.

Sadly it's more #unrealistic to see such standardization to happen than #YAML being replaced by #YADL...

#Harris vs. #Trump: Who got higher #ratings at their #conventions? Here’s the answer.

The #DemocraticParty averaged over 20 million per night, with the final night reaching 28.9 million viewers.

In contrast, the #RepublicanParty #Convention averaged just 11.1 million #viewers. With Trumps Speech reaching 26.3 million viewers.

This does not count those who watched online.

nj · Harris vs. Trump: Who got higher ratings at their conventions? Here’s the answer.By Matt Arco | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

I never did one of these, so lets give it a shot.

Hello! I'm Wes, and I wear many hats. By day I am an IT Guru at a local self driving car company, by night I am a Photographer / Videographer operating in the Music (Pittsburgh) and Fandom (Conventions) areas.

I run with Windows as my main desktop, but Linux automates much of my life. At home I am
OS agnostic. I have used Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS in my day to day. I script and code and automate.

I'm currently watching a lot of Anime, and addicted to MCU and in general special effects heavy movies/shows. I am a Trekkie, Farscaper, and Serenity-ite

I like to play games with automation / factory type play style. I also play Minecraft (run a server with help), Shapez2 (alpha), and in general don't have as much time to play as I like.

My music tastes are everywhere. Before I moved to Pittsburgh, it was varied. Today with all the work I do with musicians it has only grown more. One day I can chill in the Darkwave scene, the next catch a local folk artist complete with a Uke in tow.

I attend at least 3 Fandom Conventions a year (because I volunteer at them):
- connecticon.org
- katsucon.org
- station-unity.org

If you go to any of them, say hi. I also have been tossing around with going to cosplay conventions as wesmasonmedia.com.

My Wife (@Rach) is on here too, she is a wonderful person and the two of us actively work to help our cat survive his nature.

I have three kids who can't be bothered with another social media platform. That may change, but for now that is what it is.

Updated #Introduction:
- I'm a pharmaceutical #engineer in my 50's who helps organize #furry #conventions in his spare time.
- I am a widower who identifies as gray-#asexual / #homoromantic.
- I have two dogs, Nora and Charlie, and post pics of them frequently.
- I love #mmromance books (especially with #werewolves) as well as #urbanfantasy,
- I enjoy travel, especially #roadtrips and #cruises.
- I post #bookreviews and #travelogues on my blog: wolfhusky.net/blog/
