My eyes are bleeding

wombat_sochoI just finished translating the tentative Convergence programming grid into Excel and color-coding it by the number of panelists signed up for each panel, and I had to close it up after about an hour or so because my eyes were starting to hurt. (Good thing I was done with it.) This is with pastel cell shading; I can only imagine what my poor optic nerves would be like if I'd used brighter colors. Anyway, this is the lead-in to an entirely predictable final appeal for panelists; ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thaadd did manage to convince me that spamming the staff lists of AD and Convergence with a GoonFleet-styled "X UP FOR PANELS YOU F*****S" would be met with incomprehension at best, so you get this instead. Here's a preliminary version of the grid with appropriate color coding: red indicates no panelists, yellow 1, blue 2, green means the panel is staffed up and ready to roll. So look it over, find something you'd like to talk about that's coded red, yellow, or blue, and e-mail me.
No work on the programming this morning since my co-head is beset with connectivity issues at home and a cellphone that holds a charge about as well as you'd expect a $15 phone from Target to hold one. Went to the Detour meeting, disappointed a number of people by not bringing things they hadn't reminded me to bring, and left about 3:30. As luck would have it, I heard fromthaadd right after I dropped off jamestrainor so I grabbed a McMeal and headed up to Roseville, where we hacked on panels and related issues until about 6 when she ran out of steam; not too surprising since she's been working on this stuff since 10 AM.
I guess I'll grab some more water, take a break from the computer for a little bit, and then play a little EVE before hitting the rack.
