NotepadConf: the textiest conference you'll attend! See the latest technological advancements in plaintext editing. Meet the luminaries of the market and some sneak peaks at what's coming next!
NotepadConf is the premier technology conference for Notepad.exe users and text enthusiasts.
Some funny stuff in there under the speakers. Lots of vim references.
Animation with Notepad and Symbola.ttf!William Ockham @WilliamOckhamTx Symbola added the watchface icons from Unicode 7.0. If you enter one per line in correct order and size the window properly, you can create the ever popular "clock with spinning hands" to signal the passage of time. All by just moving the thumb on the scrollbar.

NotepadConf
When I saw the title of this post I mentally expanded NotepadConf to Notepad Configuration. I'd never have guessed that it stood for Conference.
Filed under: sounds like the place to be!

No one who has the capacity to makes decisions for themselves uses notepad.exe.
-
WTF, so this is just for Microsoft's Notepad? Not text editors in general, with sublime and notepad++ and mac variants, etc. Just plain old "take a generic text field and stretch it over the window" notepad?
Ooookay. I guess this is for those idiots who treat programming like some kind of extreme sport. Where the best coders are those capable of working under the shittiest conditions, instead of those who produce the best code and / or products.

So, one of us just got trolled. Was it me?

Well, you have to keep in mind that the conference does seem to be quite tongue-in-cheek.
Just look at the names of some of the presentations:Persisting textual changes to Notepad documents by saving.

Shit looks like I got trolled. And I'm not even gonna remove that rant. Let it stand there in shame like a fat kid without t-shirt at a pool.

Wait, Notepad is configurable?</sarcasm>
-
Next year: VimConf.
But nobody comes because they can't figure out how to register.
-
Wait, Notepad is configurable?
That's what I thought before I realised what NotepadConf actually meant.
-
Yep!
You can add a Status bar and change the font.
Filed under: All the customization you'll ever need!
-
Don't forget about turning on and off Word Wrap.
-
Yes but can you select Comic Sans?
-
But you can't set it to default to UTF-8!

That's business as normal in the Linux world.

I once encountered someone who was running a production private cloud cluster on Gentoo. He was even doing things like building a JRE entirely from scratch, and yet things weren't always quite working for him and he kept asking us for support. For some odd reason, we were not very inclined to be all that assistive; if he'd been using Debian or RHEL or one of the derivatives of either of them (so that we could've been certain that we were checking against a known version of things) that would've been different, but his system was just screwy and he was astonishingly committed to it.
But I'm not Eric Gern. I can't spin this out into a full story.

@algorythmics is currently offering a range of Gernification services for a very reasonable price.
You can get a Mini-Gern for a like, a Full-Gern for a like and a +1 reply, and a Deluxe-Gern for a like, a +1 reply and a detailed compliment about part of the Gerning.

Are there badges?

Are there badges?
There should be.
@PJH, can we have Gerning related badges?
Edit: Not to be confused with gurning.

Are there badges?
I would love badge based recognition for the work I put into my stories.

@PJH I forgot it was a thing but just remembered, do you think this is a qualifying instance for the "Someone didn't get the joke" badge?
I think it does.
-
.. quite possibly...
That said, self-pointing it out probably disqualifies it.

HA! Bad badge demon, yet again I foil your plans!

I would like this, but that would be liking a post that uses Comic Sans, and I just can't bring myself to do that.
