I was quite tickled to receive my first curious badge, given my avatar :)

@BillJohnson Yes, a simple SOCKS proxy is the easiest way to go if you (1) have a decent SSH client that'll do it for you and (2) something you can connect to. I wrote a nice init script that wraps that all up simply with a nice launcher program, gotta dig that up and get it in my public repo.

@ToddTrimble because I lost my keys. Could be because it was answered in comments which I mostly reiterated, but .. it's my job to do that and make sure these have actual answers :)

@GeraldEdgar I'm going to ask our supplier. Incidentally, +100 for that sudden onslaught of common sense that seemed to escape the rest of us (well, namely, me :P)

@AsafKaragila Well, an Americano starts out with a shot or two (which didn't stain the mug). But I am going to get some mugs and do some science, as they're our most sought after item when we print them for sites.

@AsafKaragila I believe we changed mugs, you should be able to put a double shot of espresso in these without discoloration, but don't let coffee / tea sit in them overnight. You know, since I have the ability, I should actually send myself one of our own SO mugs (same brand) and see :P I'll get on that today.

@TheMaskedAvenger The mods can help you with most of that. When I give talks promoting our sites, I try to make sure everyone that wants something at least gets some stickers, and I reserve the bigger prizes (shirts / mugs) for folks that actively participate with questions about the presentation or talk I'm giving - works out well. As for the quantity, we'll hook you up with enough to satisfy about 100 attendees (stickers), with 20 or so also getting mugs or shirts. Depends on the event, can be more.
