FAO: BINK : White Ball Sets out yet?

[Miss Jackalope]

Hey there,
for those of you in the know....
can you let us know when the White ball sets will be out??

I'm trying to reconstruct what I played in the middle set for a cd.

i, too, am desperately awaiting this content. heh, remember... before the sets started i walked up to you (bink) with my MP3 player/recorder and asked if i could get a board patch. it was deemed unecessary since everything was being recorded (was it video as well as audio?) and would be out soon. heh, i want to re-live jackalope and the minibosses, man!

Things like this are community-supported, and do not necessarily follow a top-down approach like you find in businesses. It's not like these people get a cut of Defcon fees to provide the content and torrents.

"Volunteers, for volunteers, by volunteers." -- you get what you pay for. ]:>

now... if you bought them both beer at Defcon as a thank-you, and still are not getting good service, maybe you bought them the wrong beer-- i mean, then you might have something.

In addition to what Cotman said, part of this is that Bink doesn't usually patrol the forums, unlike us, he has a life. I just put this up incase any of his friends have it up on servers yet. I'll start using my connections to get the sets, Deviant.

Ah, I thought that all the tapes and such were Defcon "sponsored" -- I didnt realize that it was volunteer based. In that case, I would be happy to help out next year! (or this year if there is anything I can help with)

Re: FAO: BINK : White Ball Sets out yet?

We're just waiting for the sets off of the mixing board at the b/w balls. Bink is the sound guy who recorded 'em :)

I am sure that closer to DC15 they will be looking for goons for the info booth and some of the event organizers may be looking for peeps to help. Defcon is one of those places where the more you put in, the more you get out of it.

I am pretty sure your goal wasn't to piss the staff off, but honestly, this pissed me off.

We generally plan for DEF CON for nearly a full year. As I mentioned before the Sr. Staff started planning DC 15 less than 30 minutes after the end of closing ceremonies this year.

Planning and prep for MOST of the staff kicks into high gear 5 to 6 months before DEF CON. I say most because some are in high gear before that.

We come to DEF CON (the staff pays our own way to get there by the way, just like you), bust our asses for four days (yep, we are there all day Thursday too), get little to no sleep. Deal with the hotel management, hotel security, rent a cops, law enforcement, problem children, drunks, whiney fuckers, and last, but certainly not least, the fire marshal the entire time we are there...all for the payment of a spiffy red t-shirt....that smells like death by Sunday I should add.

I am sorry we are too disorganized for you, but do you mind if we take a couple of weeks off of DEF CON to actually get back to real life? Teh Jebus.

Advice to members:

At the zoo, they may have signs like this to warn people about poking bears, but poking Chris is worse, because in addition to what bears can do, he can talk and write replies, so:

"Don't poke the Chris."

You have no concept of what it takes to put together Defcon. I bet God is looking down on the staff saying "If I had you guys with me way back when, I could have created the heavens and the earth in 7 minutes, not 7 days."

Now tell Chris you can run Defcon on your Mac.

*rofl* this is sooo not how i intended this to go, but so entertaining....

So, if we get a doppleganger to take his place in life, maybe we can get him to visit?

Seriously though, if/when you talk with him, I'd like to know what could be done to the forums to encourage him to visit. (This does not mean it will happen, but it might give us some ideas.)

Now tell Chris you can run Defcon on your Mac.

Well, they are planning to release a video game called Defcon. Maybe it will be available for Macs.

I will try. The current word on the street about the sets is that they are still in DVD format, and are awaiting for the audio files to be grouped and uploaded.

I think you all missed my point. Notice I said POST defcon.. I didnt intend to piss anyone off, but instead offer my help to get things going. I think Defcon itself is very well put together -- but I would think that the pre-cut videos should be posted within a day or two, and recorded video not too much longer than a couple weeks.

I realize that is a lot of work, but since DefconTV didnt work, I really am looking forward to seeing the talks that I either missed due to attending another, or because I was still drunk.

And you OBVIOUSLY missed mine. We busted ass leading up to and during con. Relax for a couple of weeks while we wind down. Jesus.

Which part of

is post defcon always this dis-organized?

is offering to help out? That was your original post. That's the one that pissed me off. Nowhere in there do you offer to help out.

I didn't comment on your later offer to help out. That is all well and good, but stating that we are disorganized after overseeing the controlled chaos that is DEF CON is a real slap in the face. It's insulting.
