Eastercon (Confusion 2021) - Day 3
The Confusion lack of understanding how efficient comms works continues...
I wanted to go to the Bid Session. So I pootled about, doing things like CHECKING MY EMAIL (this will be important later), then logged onto the site about 15 mins before the Bid was due to happen. Then jumped into the Bid as soon as it let me... and it buffered... and buffered... and I finally got into it after a couple of minutes after it had started...
Only to find a sign saying "we've moved to Zoom - check your email for the login".
FFS. Don't put that info inside the session which is difficult to get to. Change the bloody title of the session!
Checked email again. Yes there was now an email about the Zoom Bid. It had arrived at 10.50 for a session that started at 11.00.
Again FFS.
When the bid had finished, I caught the second half of the Xenos in SF panel. Might go listen to the start of that if they recorded it.
The 2000AD panel buffered for 5 mins, but I finally got into it.
I watched the recording of the 80s pop lyrics vs Warhammer 40K quiz. One of the contestants had terrible tech issues, but everyone seemed to be having fun.
I couldn't get into What's Not Being Published, but my second choice of Love & Gunships was a great discussion.
The Fanfic lecture was really good and had no tech issues.
