CarlSeibert Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Most excellent, Dusty! I went to the ENT doctor and had the wax removed from my ears. She dragged a blob of grossness that looked like a squashed horsefly from my right ear. Yuck! I don't know how this affects my audiophile credibility, but my ears sound considerably upgraded.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I do believe that is the most epic contiguous subthread (other than one or two of my own) of congrats I've ever seen. Thank you all. :blush:
Dusty Chalk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah, I saw that. Alas, I don't have any high end knives. (Besides, it'll probably be a few weeks before I start getting paid and caught up with stuff.)
grawk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 echoing what I sent via text, congrats, I'm having a Sam Adams The Vixen in your honor tonight I just got back from having dinner with a good friend from high school's little sister. When I used to hang around their house, I was 19 and she was 13, and we barely talked. Tonight we talked for about 3 hrs, and it was like we've been friends forever. 1
Dreadhead Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Did my first clean install of an OS in a very long time. Windows 7 64 bit on a hybrid sdd/hd is pretty snappy.
n_maher Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Bummer Jacob. Me, set up the S III which is a ridiculous phone in the best of ways. 1
swt61 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Huge Peter congrat! Uhm, you know what I meant. Hope you feel better soon Reks.
VPI Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Congrats Peter. Excellent work finding something this quickly in this market. We have been interviewing people here and it seems some have been looking forever. Edited July 12, 2012 by VPI
Dusty Chalk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Hope you feel better, Jacob. And once more, with feeling: thanks guys! Don't I know it, Jeff. I honestly thought it was going to take a lot longer. Me, set up the S III which is a ridiculous phone in the best of ways.Do tell longer term impressions, that might be my next phone.
The Monkey Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 somehow dragged myself in to at 7, despite a migraine that started at about 10:30 last night and hasn't gone away. imitrex has blunted it, fortunately. hoping to go home as soon as my coworker gets in at 8:00. Sorry to hear that reks. I've been going through a migraine patch and it sucks. Especially hard when you wake up with one. I also happen to hate imitrex and the other triptans. Feel better.
agile_one Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Just back, and too much to catch up on, but congrats, Dusty, and Carl, I hope you, Bonnie and cat are back in the pink.
n_maher Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Do tell longer term impressions, that might be my next phone. Will do. Initial impressions are pretty stellar. The screen is excellent and the overall feel of the phone is very good. It's light in the hand, fits in a pocket well (better than the droid X despite being larger, due to thinness) and battery life has not been an issue today even though it has had to cycle through 4G/3G several times and even down to whatever verizon's edge network equivalent is and I just got done using it for a half-hour conference call. The 4G speeds are ridiculous, even though at best I get 2/5 bars here at the office. Anyway, I'll give it a few weeks and see how the wow-factor holds up and report back.
Grahame Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 The 4G speeds are ridiculous, even though at best I get 2/5 bars here at the office. ^ what bandwidth is speedtest.net reporting?
Dusty Chalk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I took a piss test today. I passed. I do, indeed, still know how to piss, and if they graded on content, would probably have gotten 500%.
n_maher Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 ^ what bandwidth is speedtest.net reporting? Not worth reporting from here at the office which is as near to a black-out zone as can be found around here. 1700 up/down is about the best I've seen which is a lot better than just 3G service speeds here.
guzziguy Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Just catching up. Congrats Peter and sorry about your migraine Jacob.
Dreadhead Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Got approved to travel to Sweden to present at a conference. I'm stoked because it is an important conference, my paper should open some good discussion, and my family is going to come with 2
Salt Peanuts Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Went to work. Came home. Went a LBS. Brought home a bike. 1
