It is convention coverage time again. I have a bunch of live events I will be running through ConReporter.com (see here).
The one I am most jazzed about is the 2010 Hugo Award Nominees Announcement. I suspect that a fair few nominees will be at the con, but a lot of them have obligations elsewhere (there are, for example, several big conventions in the US this weekend). I’m hoping that a few will drop by my coverage to celebrate. Kevin should be online from Norwescon (hopefully from a room full of fen watching the webcast on a big screen) to help moderate comments and answer any rules questions. It should be a great worldwide geek party. I want to see #Hugos trending.
If you’ve been following comments here you’ll know that we might also have the event live in Second Life. Fingers crossed.
All I need now is for the tech to hold up as promised.
This is likely a completely stupid question, Cheryl, but I’ve written out a not-short comment for this post: http://www.conreporter.com/?p=1379
But I’m damned if I can find a way to comment. I’m not seeing a button to “post a comment” anywhere, although 16 comments have been left on that post so far.
If you could perhaps explain the nature of my idiocy to me, I’d be grateful.
Hmm, and now I see that that post is from June, 2009, which probably goes a way towards explaining why the “Leave A Comment” box isn’t visible, although there’s no mention of comments being closed. But probably someone just forgot to adjust such posts to be labeled “comments on this post are closed” or somesuch.
Ah, well.
