As it was said major things (monitor, tower, or a laptop) are barcoded and are scanned in/out. Just use common sense and don't lay easily pocketable things laying around. Cant track everything.

Items have gone missing but its always been little things from people leaving them lay around.

Easiest way to secure your stuff is make friends with the people you are sitting around. 90% of the time when someone sees someone other than you screwing with the things plugged into your computer, they will say something.

Sure looks like we are leaning sideways. Any word BigRed?

If it's any consolation, I'm working this week, too - and nobody is at the office here, either. Which means I keep checking the forums, and keep getting excited when I see that you've posted to this thread . . . tease

StormWolf · January 2012

I do believe we have gone sideways...

Happy New Year!

thr4sher · January 2012

just a few suggestions for main tournaments this year...

TF2 (still popular)
Tribes: Ascend (free to play, currently in beta, should be out in time...)
Battlefield 3 (team deathmatch)
Starcraft 2 (if you can get the bandwidth for battlenet)

maybe some retro game tournaments in the byoc area? (quake1 or quake2, duke3d, etc...)

japerry · January 2012

Don't forget Civ5 ;-)

although its sorta hard to do in one night, but could be fun

How dare you spoil my PC thread with a console figurehead.

SmallLady · January 2012

he is? that was just the first thing i got in a "my body is ready" google search.

Edit: just found out that guy is the president of Nintendo America.. Excellent!

Decius · January 2012

Red it's a meme. Why care who he is?

Also BYOC yay!

zepherin · January 2012

I've always wondered why in Seattle they go after BYOC for space, it seams that because they charge for it, it might have a slightly higher priority than some of the other conferences, or maybe I'm just being a silly goose and I'm missing something glaringly obvious from working a bizarre day at work.

Exodus1 · January 2012

Supergluing finger to F5 key now, hold on to your potatoes Mr. Jones!

zepherin · January 2012

Exodus!!! Your going to do the BYOC? neat. How about your stylish +1?

Your face is a meme.

FuzzDad · January 2012

I missed last years event because i wasn't following here, @East_BYOC, @Official_PAX, and the PAXEast web site on an hourly basis...NO MOAR!

I do need to come up w/script that alerts me with a MASSIVE alarm on the next @EAST_BYOC tweet??

BigRed · January 2012

Yes, Official_PAX tweeted a link... its still broken, hold on.

Ill send it out on East_BYOC when fixed.

FuzzDad · January 2012

I was just able to register myself and my sons and pay via PayPal.

Really? We keep running into paypal certificate errors over here

Rooslin · January 2012

i had the same problem i used the orange button on the top right instead and it worked

The_Doctor1 · January 2012

When I saw the link from official pax, I went through the registration. I got the certificate error initially, but thought it was related to using my cell phone. I saw the orange pay button and tried that and it worked. The site shows that I have a $0.00 balance, but it wont let me select a seat.

There is no seating chart. Seating is first come first served.

Huh, I hit the orange button and it just brings me to the make a payment screen and I have to click the pay $30 button at the bottom left.

FuzzDad · January 2012

The web site lists me as confirmed payment with paypal...should see my bank account drop tomorrow...that would prove it.

BigRed · January 2012

Well it appears the certificate issue is now fixed.

Its just the attendee list thats borked.

Cool, I must have missed that when I had the page up on my cell phone. I guess I should be good to go then

flatline · January 2012

I just clicked the link that East_BYOC posted and it still says

Oops! We're working out some back end quirks, and hope to have registration open soon. Sorry about the delay!

Even thought it still says that, you can click on the "Reservations" tab and successfully book. I know, I just did so!

That was up there for a while, you still should be able to register/pay cause others are doing so. The attendee list is a low pri issue.

hendusoone · January 2012

Looks like I'm registered. And, I've seen the available ticket count decreasing... When I first looked, it was at 349 remaining. It's now showing 329 remaining.

StormWolf · January 2012

yup... they're moving fast...

nollie · January 2012

Just curious where you saw how many seats were left? Anyways mines booked and paid for! Can't wait! :DD

xBanzai89 · January 2012

Do you actually reserve your seat online for this? That is my step 3, but it isn't working and I do not remember having that last year unless there was a large group of people.

Khadour · January 2012

If I recall correctly, last year it asked you the name of each participant if you were purchasing more than one seat. This year, I'm not seeing a place to change the names for the other two seats I'm purchasing (i.e. they all show my name). Is that OK, or will I run into a problem with being a suspected scalper if I purchase them this way?

SoCo_and_Lime · January 2012
