I share your semi-frustration with the power switches on the 12L's and I'm actually working on something for that. My plan is to use a switched AC relay coupled to a box with two receptacles for the 12L power cords so that a single switch can safely turn them on and off without the annoyance of giving them each a reach around. Should I arrive at something remotely approaching elegant I'll share it.

I installed Chrome today and mother eff it's fast.

5th Gen, 8GB Nanos @ woot today - Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

At least you got that part right.

I hope they'll let me activate a new phone on my existing account (no contract in place)... And $20 a month for tethering, blow me. [edit]Holy crow, I can't believe they changed the Pad data plans already too. WTF is up with that? That was a key selling point of the device and has existed for what, like less than a month of actual use? My guess is that Pad users were chewing up data at an alarming rate and crippling the (allegedly) already overloaded network.

This week is going to suck ass, it's like work saved up special torture just for this occasion.

I expected to hear that he yelled, "LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!!!!" at it until it ran away.

That's about enough out of you.

Worst first post ever.

Well done you, I'm regretting the fumbling about I did which has prevented me from taking advantage of the sale. Alas, clearly it was not meant to be for me.

Speaking of the cranky old bastard has anyone heard whether or not he'll be making an appearance this year?

He asked me too, I said I did not have a room to share and felt no guilt doing so. I found it rather odd request, given that I've only met him a few times and like John I'm a really light sleeper and value what sleep I'm going to get.

Colin's advice sounds good to me.

Thanks Gene, I'll post the final shots in the DIY forum shortly. Nope, this is my one and only exstata build. I sold the other set of boards and parts that I have so that I can finally start on the 307A project. And Al certainly doesn't need me to build stuff for him.

As the tall man mentioned, I ventured south today to drop off a package. Somehow I left with another package, but I've learned not to question these things. Also shared a fine pint (or two) with my generous host before trudging back north, we figured it was good training for my liver for the coming week's activities. We also managed to spruce up the aforementioned KGSS so it will no longer have to suffer the indignity that was its previously dented top panel. Funny that I'd be working on one of Shelly's amps today, and not even the one that she sent to me to be worked on. Again, I've learned it is best not to question the twisted ways in which head-case works.

Crikey Greg, I get freaked out when I see the little 2' garter snakes in our yard and they don't even bite.

My retro-fi collection may have grown yesterday.

Consider this your last warning, another post like this and you'll be relieved of the privilege.

One more LOL and he won't know what hit him.

Ethan, I hope you truly are felling better. Nate

Fingers crossed Al. I mostly got yelled at today by impatient clients that are having scheduling troubles as a result of their own negligence. But seeing as I am at the bottom of the hill that shit flows down, this became my problem.

I need to catch up on Chuck, I'm way behind.

Sure, I'll share. Processor: I went low, i5 520, I may upgrade this at some point but no higher than the Graphics: dual 4870s Ram: 4GB HD: single 500 spinny thing for now, I desire a SSD for the primary but it's out of the budget for now. Display: 1900 x 1200 RGBLED, it's friggen gorgeous Most importantly I bought it lightly used (2 months) from some gamer freak who wanted to get one with the newly released 5870s and took a 30% hit by doing so. It's also covered by Dell's warranty for the next 3 years which is very important to me for anything that will run this hot/hard while gaming. So far it's blindingly fast even running in balanced power mode. I'll open it up to full power later on tonight once I get World At War (COD4) installed. And Al, no, it's not a MAC. I have recently become pretty frustrated with the Apple's "we know everything you want to do and will tell you how to do it" model. There is no disputing the superior user experience that a Mac offers for casual computing but I need something that'll run full 3D CAD and the occasional game. With the same budget I couldn't even max out a 15" macbook pro, not to mention wanting a 17" screen for drafting.
