Beavervision (Pt 1)

Right, part 1, for which there were plenty of opportunities for failure, seemed to pass off without a hitch.

2 people simultaneously using the iPhone scoreboard, with no issues - we were able to poke around our own results nicely, and it just worked, as it should. The manual entry for those without the technology also seemed ok, and no complaints of dropped scores (as there were last year).

Results popped up, twitter was fed and Facebook got the full force of the updates.

All-in-all, I'll give myself a B+ so far - part 2 should be easier, and part 3 will be the big technological test were we may have 5 or more people using the AP - sure it should all work, but I just worry about these things... I even have 2 backup plans, I'm nothing if not prepared.

The best comment I got was "it was a lot less stressful" regarding the iPhone site, it just flowed in naturally for me, and made the whole thing a lot better, letting me concentrate on having a fun time instead of queuing people up to use a PC. Win all round.

It's a pity the semi-final was so dull, it was hard to pick a bottom 7, let alone a top 10... and the voting outcome was, as usual, ridiculous - Russia should never, ever, have gotten through.

Thursday should be way better, and Saturday - well now I'm over the first hurdle, should be fun... that might be the first time in 7 years.
