Origins Update!

I still can't register. That's bad.

I called the head office and got a live person. That's good.

The registration guru was unavailable. That's bad.

The guy I talked to said that most of the registration problems are taken care of, except for 90 or so people who have 'stuck shopping carts' like me. For those people, they've administratively frozen the events they wanted, so they don't lose out on them while a solution is devised. That's good.

Can I go now?

Isn't this just over a month away? Cutting it a bit close, aren't they? Since they know the people that are "stuck" and what events they have signed up for, can they not process those 90 stuckees by hand?

Buggy software sucks. Especially when it produces stuck buggys.

They tell me they're changing software providers next year. I don't think they have a way to process by hand at the moment, but are working with their current provider to do that if possible.
