By a bit, yeah.

@Dashrender said in SpiceWorld 2020 in Austin, TX:

I bought my ticket.. though won't know if I'm approved to go until a month or so before.

You never do.

nope.. sad way things are around there.
Hell she's going to a convention for our EHR in 2 weeks, and only booked airfare last week.. but has known she was going for 4 months.

@scottalanmiller said in SpiceWorld 2019 Events, Plans, Meetups:

they hold it in the one country where I have extremely limited time allowed (without paying massive penalties)

That is your choice to avoid taxation. Nothing else.

My choice to avoid an enormous price for visitation. It's not my choice to tax in that way, it's my choice to live within the constrains that cannot be avoided.

@NetworkNerd said in The Theme Park Approach to Technology Conferences:

I'm curious as to how many would agree with my claim that strategies for selecting and spending time at a technology conference aren't so different than those you would use for a theme park.

That's why MangoCon is a single track conference.

@kelly last year it was Sunday or Monday evening. I forget which. I played that one.

I wasn't available this year.

@floridaman said in Where to Be for Those in the Know at SpiceWorld 2018:

Also, I recall the top deck were told to move to prevent the boat from capsizing!

Top was okay. Bottom deck was re-balanced as we were boarding.

@dashrender Awesome!!

@rojoloco said in Scale River Boat Tour at SpiceWorld Austin 2017:

@scottalanmiller looks a lot less crowded than last year.

Boat holds 100 and always sells out. So the same as always. People were still boarding.

JB said the sign in sheet only had 90 names on it. so people were simply late, hence the less crowding.

Lots of people seemed to be rushing to make it on this year. I wonder if something delayed a lot of people.

Not sure - I know JB and I where only on the boat 5 mins when it launched.. so we almost didn't make it.

But I was delayed helping teardown/cleanup the SpiceBuddy booth and drag some random swag back to our Airbnb for the St Louis SpiceCorp.

Oh sure - if people walked directly after the prize give away, there was no excuse for not making it on time.

@NetworkNerd There is an Upstate NY VMUG UserCon coming up 10/5. Based on your recommendation I'm going to try and attend! Thanks!

Where is that one?

Definitely go if you can. Sometimes the technical marketing folks from VMware come too and answer whatever questions you want to ask. After all, the price is right (free).

@NetworkNerd said in SpiceWorld Austin 2017 Sessions up for vote:

They say pick your top 15. I was thinking there were more than 15 sessions on the Spiceworld agenda last year. But then again, some sessions were repeated.

There are many sessions that are not open for picking. Like all of the SW run sessions, for example. Or the keynote and stuff like that.

@Breffni-Potter said in Share Your 2017 Conference Session Submissions Here:

I was pondering submitting a talk but then they killed the London event.

MangoCon is still on!

Yeah but US flights are not an option this year.

Only like $200 on Norwegian. @dominica and @ryanov have both flown through in the last week or so.

That's the right now not this summer I would assume? Summer rates are higher

Good point, I assume so. Although summer in NY is not a tourist thing.

@Dashrender said in SpiceWorld London Canceled:

b) that people would be willing to spend their own money to come to the US for this conference - unless they just happen to like to vacation in Austin at the same time.

But they do that in droves already. And many, like @katie and myself, pay to go to London (sometimes) too.

@scottalanmiller said in SpiceWorld 2017 Austin Grey Breakfast:

@jmaurelli awesome. Will see you there! Maybe @Shuey can join us this time, too.

I likely won't be able to attend next year, but I have a feeling I'll make it in 2018! 🙂

Now we are planning seriously in advance!

Round two. Typo in title because not sober.

Hello from SpiceWorld Austin 2016! The welcome session just wrapped up so I wanted to take a second to provide the full recap on the product improvements and new tools that were announced on stage this morning.

Zooming out, our focus has always been to develop the tools and resources you need to do your job better - every day. For example, over the last year you’ve seen us rapidly develop a series of new butt-based tools including Butt Help Desk, Port Scanner &Tester, Subnet Calculator, Butt Cost Monitor, Blacklist Check and IP Reputation, and others that are purpose-built for the task at hand and incredibly easy to get started with, allowing you to get value from them immediately.

The response to our new tools has been incredible, and we’re looking into new and exciting ways to add even more value to your day. For instance, we’re working to better integrate our butt-based tools with the Community to provide a seamless experience that not only helps you manage your environment but also connects you with the relevant content and people who can help you tackle whatever comes your way.

Below, check out our updates to current tools, as well as our upcoming tools, including the Spiceworks IP Scanner, Internet Outage Heatmap, and next-generation Traceroute tool. We are also updating our apps, our product pages, and introducing a multi-OS agent.

That @Scale doing the boat again?

Should have run down to Austin for a quickie and/or crash the party.

Yup, another year on the @scale boat.

Probably the last.

why is that?

They .....

is not Scale here.

Good point, edited it.
Was refering to SW, as the last SW probably, which in turn ends the Scale boat likely.
My post was referencing SW, not Scale. 🙂

I have a ticket for next years Spiceworld, so I hope this years ain't the last. Also hoping Scale do the boat cruise again next year too.

SW 2017 is already booked, I can't imagine that there will be any issues with it happening now. And the boat cruise isn't scheduled but is so popular and such a success that I can't imagine it not happening.

@Minion-Queen said in FollowSAM SpiceWorld Austin 2016:

I can't wait that was so much fun last year!

This will be my third year on the boat.

@Nic When are you here then??
