| chilts | morning | 20:20 |
| chilts | lovely wind last night (am not talking about me) | 20:20 |
| ibeardslee | quite breezing this morning as well | 20:30 |
| ibeardslee | watching recycle bins race themselves down the road | 20:31 |
| ojwb | morning | 20:31 |
| ojwb | apparently it's likely to get stronger over the next couple of hours, then die off in the afternoon | 20:31 |
| mwhudson | morning | 20:42 |
| * mwhudson appears to have accidentally dialed up quite a nice looking system on lenovo.com | 22:58 | |
| ojwb | careless | 23:02 |
| mwhudson | yeah | 23:06 |
| * ojwb is expecting a new laptop to arrive today | 23:12 | |
| ojwb | finding it hard to focus on doing stuff while trying to listen for a courier | 23:12 |
| ojwb | what with the wind, I fear I'll not hear them | 23:12 |
| ojwb | I totally failed to hear the last delivery, though I wasn't expecting that one | 23:13 |
| mwhudson | it's also hard to hear couriers when they don't actually make an honest attempt to deliver the package :/ | 23:13 |
| mwhudson | ojwb: what laptop have you got? | 23:13 |
| ojwb | we had that a lot in the uk - card through the door from the postman when I was in and I'm pretty much certain they'd just not bothered to bring the package | 23:15 |
| ojwb | if you hear the letter box, you'd have heard them knock... | 23:16 |
| ojwb | new laptop is an hp dv7-5003tx | 23:17 |
| mwhudson | is that one of the ones that ascent will do without windows? | 23:20 |
| ojwb | not sure - i bought it from ascent, but the backlight has died in my old laptop, so waiting a couple of weeks wasn't really an option | 23:21 |
| hads | Lots of couriers are silly. I had words to NZ Couriers after catching them on camera leaving cards in the mailbox and not knocking on the door. | 23:22 |
| mwhudson | looks like nice specs | 23:23 |
| mwhudson | bit big for me though | 23:23 |
| ojwb | yeah, it's pretty good | 23:23 |
| ojwb | it's to be my main machine, so I really wanted a decent size screen | 23:23 |
| ojwb | current laptop is the same size and res | 23:23 |
| ojwb | and the new one is a few 100g lighter at least | 23:24 |
| ojwb | I have a netbook for when I want portable | 23:24 |
| mwhudson | you can get these things called monitors you know :-) | 23:24 |
| ojwb | and things called "desktops" | 23:25 |
| mwhudson | yeah, i've heard of them | 23:25 |
| ojwb | that was my plan actually - i just bought the current laptop before moving out here, and have been meaning to get a desktop as it's getting a bit old | 23:26 |
| mwhudson | given i have to have a laptop though, and i travel a fair bit, it's always seemed a better deal to get a tricked out laptop than spread the money across a desktop and a laptop | 23:26 |
| ojwb | but the guys I'm currently working for heard my laptop screen was dead and offered to buy me a replacement so it seemed rude to refuse! | 23:27 |
| ibeardslee | ahh | 23:27 |
| mwhudson | ah heh, that *is* a good deal :_) | 23:27 |
| ojwb | yeah | 23:28 |
