I help organize NCDevCon (ncdevcon.com)

We're a small, two day web/mobile/tech conference in Raleigh, NC. This is our 6th year.

This area also hosts:

* http://allthingsopen.org/ (Open source conference)
* http://hopscotchdesignfest.com/ (design festival)

Good area for conferences, tech (RedHat, RTP), beer and BBQ.

I was pumped when I got my Quake Live notice...

Quick games of Quake at lunch.

Nope. Apparently although it runs in a browser it does use some of the old odd ports so at work it's blocked by our firewall.

Oh well I can try it at home!

Get home - fire up Ubuntu - login - and get a message Quake Live isn't supported on my operating system.

Argh!
