This time? Announcing the Atomic Help Desk.
Atomic LIVE is now less than two weeks away, and we're putting the final touches on our very own special stand for the day... the Atomic Help Desk.
We're a friendly bunch here at Atomic HQ, and there's nothing we like more than sharing the tech love with everyone we know. To that end, the Atomic Help Desk is set to answer any and all questions you've got.
Stumped by multipliers, driver issues and other tech guff? Not sure how to start on your dream case mod, or having issues picking your next upgrade? Well, the man to ask is Justin Robinson, aka TheFrunj, aka the tallest man in the Atomic office. And he's smart, too, so those answers will probably be pretty neat.
If science is more your go, we've got the right guy for that, too? Worried about the LHC destroying the world? Want to know about how your favourite bit of tech actually works, or do you possibly just want to make fun of his hippy love of open source computing? Then you'll want to bail up Ashton Mills, X-Ray man and ex Atomic editor.
And finally, we've got our very own Geek gal Zara Baxter on hand to answer the really tough questions, like how to keep your geek cred and still win friends and influence people. In other words, she's the Atomic Agony Aunt.
We'll have gear on hand for modding examples, Ron Prouse's famous test bench PC rig, and will be running out benchmarks and testing apps on real live gear that we're working on for the issue currently in production. It's your chance to see how we work.
In all, it's all Atomic, and it's all go on the day!

Wow, so like, if I was there on the day, and I just wanted to know some sort of tool to use for a certain something, then I could ask the helpdesk?
That sounds wicked, however! What about the staff there, won't they wanna be enjoying themselves by watching demos etc?

We'll be swapping in and out all day, I imagine, but the plan is for Justin to be there most of the time.
Just bring him cold beverages and he'll answer all questions.

Please PLEASE tell me you are putting Ash in a skirt and making him a booth babe for the day.
But seriously - this is a really cool idea. Nice work guys! :)

Can Zara teach me how to make the people who ask me for tech support bugger off without my having to be rude to them?

Can we ask David where we can put a pink dildo inside him?
Is it ok if I bring him a cold drink of alcoholic nature?
Can we ask for sexx?

Eldarin Aenil: It's up to him to decide what to wear, but he won't mind being eye candy for the day.
greycat: Zara knows many things, but she's not all-knowing, and can't help you with that ;)
colginator: No. Just no.
smadge1: You really don't, we're not there yet. You'd be quite bored :P

Ummm. Ash. We are talking about Ash here - right? Eye-candy. Eye-candy?
Ohhhhhkaayyyyyyyy.
If you can't get booth babes better looking than him you guys aren't checking the local RSL's... :P~

Greycat: I can help with that... we talking home or work people? Family members obvously need kid gloves. I see a Geek chic column coming up.
