Got back from Otakon last night, only to see 6 answering machine messages informing me that a water main broke and has flooded my department's offices. Spent the following 15 hours frantically trying to get the basic server infrastructure up and running again, but things seem to be more or less stable now, even managed to sneak a couple hours of sleep in there somewhere. All I can say is I sure am glad server rooms have raised floors.
In spite of all this, the con was still a success, one of the more satisfying ones in recent years. There were great guests, good panels, and a well-stocked Dealers' Room, but I what really made the con for me was the 4chan panel. I'll do a proper writeup of the con when I'm somewhat more coherent, in the meantime RANT'S CLOSED DUE TO AIDS!
P.S. since Totaku's link has expired here's the image that inspired the legendary /a/ thread: Unlimited Essay Works.
