Off-topic: way cool to see the name Antero Alli mentioned on HN!

The area around Antero Reservoir gets to -20F -30F all the time.

I've readed McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, Antero Alli, etc.

So here how the typical April day was: my colleague Eric was building the GUI that remotely controlled Antero, communicated with the video mixer (so that the FX operator could control Antero animations from the main mixing desk) and the statistics server (to grab game data to feed to Antero) from 8 A.

Therefore the only way was to manually update the score directly in the Antero software on the SGI Octane (instead of using the remote control PC), by rapidly typing in the data seconds before setting up the page on air.

So without having any sleep for the past 72 hours, I had to manage it during the match, the old way (without any automation whatsoever) which was quite tricky as Antero missed a critical feature, which is the timer (it could only display the system time).

So I teamed with a colleague to build a PC GUI in Visual Basic to drive Antero through the network, and that proved … tough:) There was several technical hurdles: Compusport main selling point was advanced statistics (it was supposed to be fully automated, IA powered ball and players tracking.

I helped him on the Antero API (“to display that page send this and this and then wait for ACK then send this and this”), while during the day working with Marc Tatou to set up the graphics and the animations: “make the red card come forward than flip.

In 3 hours you freeze, literally (it's -0F/-18C outside, around Antero, Colorado).
