[05:30] <braddr> :pokes fabbione.. "victory?"
[06:05] <ajmitch> hi braddr 
[06:05] <ajmitch> how's your T2000 going?
[06:17] <braddr> not bad.  I like the box, but not enough to pay sun's prices.
[06:18] <braddr> I really haven't made the time to give it a serious workout.  I haven't finished porting gdc, the d compiler, to solaris or linux/sparc.  It mostly works.
[06:18] <braddr> my trial run ends 'soon'
[06:20] <ajmitch> yeah, we've confirmed that we're keeping 2, which is good
[06:20] <ajmitch> and I get to move them to a server room with real internet access in the coming days :)
[06:20] <ajmitch> no more updating via ssh tunnels
[06:23] <braddr> buying 2 or being allowed to keep 2?
[06:24] <braddr> I'm curious how liberal sun is being with the letting people just keep them part of the program.
[06:25] <ajmitch> buying 2, afaik
[06:25] <ajmitch> I'm not involved with that side of things :)
[06:25] <ajmitch> we've got the 8-core, 16GB RAM model
[06:26] <braddr> I was supposed to get 8 core w/ 8 gigs ram.  Instead I got 4 core w/ 8 gigs ram.  Hard to get grumpy with free hardware.
[06:27] <braddr> they hinted pretty strongly when I asked about getting the wrong hardware that I could apply again.
[06:27] <ajmitch> heh
[06:28] <braddr> I really don't enjoy 'playing the game' though.  I much prefer being upfront and open.
[07:17] <fabbione> braddr: dunno.. just woke up
[07:18] <fabbione> what's the next question? ;)
[07:20] <braddr> there isn't one.. just curious.. never been to london before.
[07:25] <ajmitch> morning fabbione :)
[07:26] <fabbione> braddr: oh i see.. we use to answer "The next question is?" as an alias for "no-comment"
[07:26] <fabbione> ajmitch: morning
[07:26] <fabbione> but it's a more ironic way of saying it
[07:26] <fabbione> not meant to be unpolite but just "I have no frigging answer to that yet" ;)
[07:28] <ajmitch> seen any of london apart from the hotel & the office? :)
[07:28] <fabbione> ajmitch: YES, THE UNDERGROUND
[07:28] <fabbione> ops
[07:28] <fabbione> sorry for the caps
[07:28] <ajmitch> heh
