| 00:07.29 | pagefault | what is their rate these days? |
| 00:07.38 | file[laptop] | same as when you were with them |
| 00:07.41 | pagefault | ah |
| 00:07.46 | pagefault | bell lowered their rate to 25 cents |
| 00:07.53 | file[laptop] | amazing |
| 00:08.00 | pagefault | yeah |
| 00:08.02 | file[laptop] | the 3200 looks nifty |
| 00:08.05 | pagefault | well at least on my plan they did |
| 00:08.06 | pagefault | I am on |
| 00:08.08 | pagefault | "PREPAID III" |
| 00:08.11 | pagefault | whatever that means |
| 00:08.17 | file[laptop] | haha |
| 00:08.32 | pagefault | I get free call display! |
| 00:08.49 | file[laptop] | so do I |
| 00:08.54 | pagefault | only thing I miss about telus is the free voice mail |
| 00:08.55 | file[laptop] | what phone do you have |
| 00:08.56 | pagefault | although I never used it |
| 00:09.06 | file[laptop] | did you know you can use the voicemail TOTALLY free including retrieval? |
| 00:09.22 | pagefault | oh? they used to charge for voicemail time |
| 00:09.25 | pagefault | I have the kyocera slider |
| 00:09.35 | gonkulator | wow, its dark |
| 00:09.39 | file[laptop] | you call your number from a regular phone, hit * on the greeting, and tada - retrieval |
| 00:09.45 | pagefault | oh |
| 00:09.47 | pagefault | I knew that |
| 00:09.52 | pagefault | I thought you meant phoning from your cell :) |
| 00:09.56 | file[laptop] | ah |
| 00:09.57 | file[laptop] | nooooo :) |
| 00:10.04 | file[laptop] | you on a monthly rate plan? |
| 00:10.11 | pagefault | nah prepaid |
| 00:10.15 | file[laptop] | ah |
| 00:10.23 | pagefault | one thing that pissed me off about telus |
| 00:10.30 | pagefault | is that they would charge me for airtime during ringing |
| 00:10.34 | pagefault | I wonder if they ever fixed that |
| 00:10.36 | file[laptop] | how evil |
| 00:10.56 | pagefault | yeah |
| 00:10.57 | pagefault | oh well |
| 00:11.02 | pagefault | bell hasn't pissed me off... yet |
| 00:11.29 | file[laptop] | the slider looks evil |
| 00:11.40 | pagefault | it was either that or some nokia brick |
| 00:11.44 | pagefault | in my price range |
| 00:12.26 | file[laptop] | pagefault is silly |
| 00:12.42 | pagefault | I just wanted a colour screen |
| 00:12.47 | pagefault | it's so much easier to read |
| 00:12.54 | file[laptop] | yup |
| 00:13.00 | pagefault | and doubles as a flashlight |
| 00:14.09 | pagefault | well |
| 00:14.11 | pagefault | time to go to mcdonalds |
| 00:14.15 | pagefault | I have a craving |
| 00:14.29 | gonkulator | gross |
| 00:14.40 | pagefault | it's still better than taco bell :) |
| 00:15.13 | file[laptop] | I've never had taco bell |
| 00:15.21 | file[laptop] | I had Subway yesterday though, that was yummy |
| 00:15.34 | pagefault | I see they are copying quiznos now |
| 00:15.35 | gonkulator | thats like saying a stab in the eye is better than a bullet in the head |
| 00:17.31 | gonkulator | whats up with MacGyver and briefcases full of money |
| 00:18.19 | lurgy | well really.. what's -not- up with macgyver and briefcases full of money |
| 00:20.14 | gonkulator | thats a good point |
| 00:20.25 | merlin262 | I really hate slashdot |
| 00:20.32 | gonkulator | don't we all |
| 00:21.14 | lurgy | merlin262: my first advice would be to not read slashdot ;) |
| 00:21.30 | merlin262 | unfortunately, I need a place for teh geek news |
| 00:21.41 | lurgy | there are plenty of other sites |
| 00:21.47 | lurgy | like osnews.com |
| 00:21.49 | lurgy | :) |
| 00:34.38 | kergoth | yay home |
| 00:34.40 | gonkulator | does anyone want a laptop case? |
| 00:35.39 | gonkulator | heh |
| 00:46.07 | ChipX86|Gone | http://nat.org/donate/ |
| 00:47.49 | ChipX86|Gone | geeze, the videos of the flood coming in and killing a bunch of people is creepy |
| 00:48.12 | gonkulator | where is this? |
| 00:48.16 | ChipX86|Gone | CNN |
| 00:49.09 | ChipX86|Gone | nice home with a good sized pool and a bunch of kids standing around it, all staring at horror at the wave approaching, as it swallows them all.. |
| 00:50.37 | ChipX86|Gone | eep, a hundred dead bodies laying on the ground |
| 00:52.42 | ChipX86|Gone | there are people here in the US complaining that they don't want to see these pictures and videos. The poor babies don't want to be exposed to them and want CNN to stop. The guy on CNN basically said tough, it's reality. |
| 00:55.00 | merlin262 | sad. :( |
| 00:55.21 | file | life is life. |
| 01:02.01 | file | eek slimspace |
| 01:02.09 | slimspace | hi file |
| 01:02.14 | file | hi |
| 01:04.04 | lurgy | slimspace: you upstairs? |
| 01:04.09 | slimspace | I am indeed |
| 01:04.30 | slimspace | come get 'em |
| 01:04.43 | file | lurgy: quick, take other stuff too!!! |
| 01:05.06 | lurgy | yay |
| 01:14.24 | lurgy | yay for slimspace's monitor being pretty :) |
| 01:16.28 | CIA-5 | autopackage: 03mike * 10autopackage/manager/frontend-gtk/main.c: GTK frontend: partial support for loading icons |
| 01:16.38 | slimspace | :) |
| 01:31.07 | gonkulator | hey slimspace |
| 01:31.11 | gonkulator | how many do you want? |
| 01:31.38 | slimspace | hmm...don't know, maybe 1 |
| 01:31.49 | gonkulator | for what size laptop? |
| 01:31.58 | slimspace | how big are these bags? |
| 01:32.09 | file[laptop] | it's the gonkulator shopping channel! |
| 01:32.20 | gonkulator | um, I have one that would fit a 15" laptop quite well |
| 01:32.26 | gonkulator | another that would be great for a 12" |
| 01:32.31 | slimspace | hmm... |
| 01:32.36 | gonkulator | make that two that would be good for a 12" |
| 01:32.37 | slimspace | I have both kinds |
| 01:33.01 | slimspace | I would be *very* interested in one of the 12" bags |
| 01:33.07 | *** join/#tacobeam patlabor221 (~jeffm@adsl-69-106-205-77.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net) |
| 01:33.24 | file[laptop] | what else does the gonkulator have? |
| 01:33.45 | gonkulator | slimspace: alright, hopefully I'll make it up to Boulder either tomorrow or the next day |
| 01:33.57 | slimspace | cool, that'd be great |
| 01:34.15 | gonkulator | do you have a Model-M keyboard? |
| 01:34.31 | slimspace | are those the really clicky ones like scanline has? |
| 01:34.35 | gonkulator | yes |
| 01:34.54 | slimspace | I probably do, somewhere...not sure my dad would let me take them though (they're his) |
| 01:35.01 | gonkulator | want one? |
| 01:35.19 | slimspace | na, I much prefer the feel of my Gyration mini-keyboard |
| 01:35.20 | gonkulator | s/four/five/ |
| 01:35.29 | gonkulator | heh, ok |
| 01:37.18 | gonkulator | but it lacks the feel of a model m |
| 01:38.14 | kergoth | i cant stand model m's anymore. the stroke of the keys is too much. got used to the short stroke on laptop keyboards |
| 01:38.18 | kergoth | heh |
| 01:38.33 | slimspace | I've gotten way too used to smaller keyboards. Big keyboards like that just feel awkward to me now. |
| 01:38.36 | gonkulator | yeah, but I always feel less frustrated after typing on a Model M :) |
| 01:38.42 | slimspace | kergoth: me too :) |
| 01:39.00 | gonkulator | and you have to start lower on the keyboard |
| 01:39.08 | gonkulator | whatever that means... |
| 01:39.10 | gonkulator | anyway |
| 01:39.28 | Samy | I need a cigarette. |
| 01:39.29 | kergoth | my dad bought me http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=211091&affiliate=shopping that keyboard for xmas |
| 01:39.39 | kergoth | its laptop keys in an extremely low profile, short stroke keyboard |
| 01:39.49 | kergoth | good tactile feedback as well |
