ChanServ can auto-invite you into channels when you auth to your account, which can be really useful for invite-only channels. Use /msg ChanServ USET #channel AUTOINVITE on/off to change this setting.

Greetings from QuakeCon 2009! - Posted by LoreOfSerpents on August 13, 2009

As you know from our previous post, we made it safely to QuakeCon! This year offered a change of venue (from the Hilton Anatole last year) and a rather surprising early crowd. We have a lot of pictures already and this is only the first day of the convention, but we wanted to share a few introductory pictures with all of you.

The signage is rather different this year, with printed signs scattered all around the QuakeCon areas of the hotel. It's great to be able to see what's going on and when just by wandering around the hotel, rather than having to run into the BYOC and check the projection screens or pull up the website.

When registration opened early on Wednesday night, a herd of "fortunate" attendees crowded into an empty room as they awaited their turn to register. The line was like this after midnight and showed no signs of slowing down. We weren't brave enough to see what the room smelled like, so this is as close as we got.

This year's QuakeCon is at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. One of the highlights of the hotel is a spacious atrium, and many of the rooms have balconies overlooking this area.

We'll have another sample of pictures later tonight, so keep checking for updates!

Update: We were hijacked into volunteering for a while late tonight, so we will post updates after some much-needed sleep.
