| lekernel | larsc, anything that has a I¬¬¬ logo on it is gatecrashing 101. usually the threat of removing papers from proceedings in case of lack of conference "registration" is enough to deter most publish-or-perish researchers. | 07:48 |
|---|---|---|
| lekernel | so they go ahead and spend half a month of salary on that :-) | 07:48 |
| lekernel | another interesting I¬¬¬ event to crash is the invitation-only member party. it usually boils down to finding out the time and location, wearing a nice suit and talking to the security guy. then it's very satisfying to help yourself with caviar, champagne, etc. at I¬¬¬'s expense. | 08:01 |
| Fallenou | hehe :) | 08:18 |
| Fallenou | lekernel: how was the think tank session? | 08:18 |
| wpwrak | lekernel: how do you mesmerize the security guy ? | 11:49 |
| lekernel | depends. but in many cases, acting as if you had every right to be there does the trick (gathering as much info as possible about the event helps). | 12:00 |
| wpwrak | hmm, the old confidence trick. i'm surprised that you'd initiate communication with the security guy, though | 12:12 |
| larsc | Ok, sneaking in did not work. "I need to see your badge Sir" ;) | 16:58 |
| larsc | this was before the show opened though | 16:59 |
| wpwrak | larsc: seems that you need to copy sebastien's nonchalance :) | 20:48 |
| larsc | I'm rather inconfident about confidence ;) | 21:01 |
| larsc | right now our boot feels like a scene from these western movies, the only thing missing is the tumbleweed | 21:02 |
| larsc | our booth | 21:02 |
| wpwrak | hmm, "shoot on sight" sounds like an applicable concept then :) | 22:32 |
| larsc | and it's over | 23:16 |
| larsc | now that I've finally adjusted to the timezone it's time to get back | 23:25 |
