The Mandelbear's Musings

Today being the day of the annual Linux Anniversary Picnic, my plan was to go equipped to distribute a couple of pre-orders, and hopefully sell a few as well. The difficulty was in determining whose CDs I needed to bring with me.

So far the effort required to catch up has been manageable: I've been using a simple paper-and-pen list to keep track of the names and numbers of the copies I've handed out. It will get harder presently, but I think I'll be ok as long as I can get the rest of the necessary data-entry done by Wednesday. We leave for ConChord on Thursday.

So far I've delivered two pre-orders today at the Picnic, plus a review copy and three direct sales. The flower_cat delivered two at the Baycon picnic; and there have been a little over a dozen pre-orders and direct sales at work. I expect there to be a lot more at the Casa de Chaos Bash tomorrow; I'm going to have to get busy stuffing envelopes and checking off names. That's my task for tonight and tomorrow morning.

Anyone local who's not going to the Bash tomorrow is welcome to come by Grand Central Starport on Wednesday, and I will of course have them at ConChord. I'll be mailing a few on Monday, but the bulk of the mailing will wait until after ConChord.
