CeBIT preparation (D-3)
Overbooking: One Word to rule them all, One Word to worry them, One Word to bring them all and in the abyss of Outlook bind them.
We’re now only a few days away from the grand opening of the CeBIT ‘08, and clock starts ticking louder and louder. We can feel the time running out while we try to fix the last details. Today, I made the last arrangements for on-site deliveries, talked a few with our Cooler Master contacts, a lot with Oliver and Damien which are doing a great job on that preparation phase, then started to pack our hardware.
A few weeks ago, we decided to go by car instead of plane… and that choice really seems to be good now. When I see what I already put in boxes and the whole amount of things yet to to be packed, I realize we would never have fit that into a plane, nor in a UPS box. i’m pretty sure now we’ll completely fill our car with all that stuff.
What’s really hard now, occulting technical issues, is to think about everything we’ll need as there won’t be a second chance: if we don’t bring it, we won’t have it, period. So we’re carrying a full toolbox, a Dremel with lots of accessories, a hairdryer, and even more surprising things… I think i’ll write something about this when the show is over.
There still are a lot of things we don’t know, and that’s both exciting and worrying…. in that business, surprises may be good sometimes, but are usually the source of several nights trying to make that darn new part work properly! Let’s bet on an average 3hours sleep per day in Hannover, that should be a close call.
Enough with the words, let’s talk numbers: 4, 8, 8, 30, 77. Find what they’re up to, and you’ll know almost everything we planned even before the show opens. Good luck!
