Oh God just buy whatever tickets you want, pay what you like, I feel like I had a point but I don't care anymore. Formula conferences 4EVA.

@lazyatom :) a lot of people i speak to have said you are right

@lazyatom they are wrong too.

@lazyatom You did have a point, and it was a valid one, and it provoked a discussion, and we decided to proceed as planned.

@lazyatom Are you always this upset when people make choices that are different from yours?

#5 1:51pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@lazyatom I could try and talk you into offering RubyManor shirts because, in my experience, people feel cheated if they don't get a shirt,

@lazyatom And if you decided not to take my advice, and do what you wanted anyway, would it make sense for me to be annoyed about it?

#7 1:53pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@alancfrancis I'm not annoyed; it's only frustrating that my actual basic point is being misconstrued.

#8 1:56pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to alancfrancis

@alancfrancis I don't care what choices anyone makes, as long as they can explain why they made them and are generally open minded.

#9 1:58pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to alancfrancis

@alancfrancis I've never suggested that the Ruby Manor model is the *only* way to run a conference

#10 1:58pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to alancfrancis

@alancfrancis I've only suggested that we're trying to abandon practices that many people don't actually find valuable.

@lazyatom The "slowclap" started the day with an indication you were annoyed? But, whatever.

#12 1:59pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@lazyatom Well, no. You've in fact suggested that *we* should abandon practices that *you* don't find valuable?

#13 2:01pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@lazyatom And I think I did explain, and I was open minded. We discussed it, and made a decision.

#14 2:01pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@lazyatom @alancfrancis FWIW, I don't like Early Bird tickets. I always miss out on them and then feel like a sucker for paying more.

#15 2:09pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to lazyatom

@RicRoberts I can assure you you are no sucker. Full price is not higher because of early bird. If no EB, all tickets would be full price,

#16 2:37pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to RicRoberts

@RicRoberts So maybe you get a bargain, but even if not, we think it's a pretty cheap conference for 2days/3tracks.

#17 2:38pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to RicRoberts

@alancfrancis Ta. True: It's not that expensive, though multi-track not massive a bonus for me: just go to confs to hang out / network :)

#18 2:40pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to alancfrancis

@RicRoberts The don't buy a ticket, just sit in the SMWS and wait for rubyists :-)

#19 2:44pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to RicRoberts

@alancfrancis Don't get me wrong: the talks are usually great (and make a good talking point). :)

#20 2:45pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to alancfrancis

@RicRoberts Understood. <whisper>SMWS</whisper> :-)

#21 2:46pm Nov 23rd 2011 via Twitter for Mac in reply to RicRoberts

@alancfrancis if more than a few people said they wanted a shirt, and could explain why (beyond saying they "expected" it), then sure.
