[00:05] <valorie> the sprint? absolutely fabu!
[00:05] <valorie> the flights were no worse than expected
[00:05] <valorie> the Alps train was thrilling
[00:06] <valorie> the house we stayed in was wonderful, the food was good, the people were all GREAT
[00:06] <valorie> and even the connectivity was decent
[00:06] <Lancelot> sounds like a fun time
[00:06] <valorie> they had an icecream server set up to help people building stuff
[00:06] <valorie> so even my lil netbook was like make j-20
[00:06] <valorie> :-)
[00:07] <valorie> which is awesome
[00:07] <valorie> yep, I'm finished with my Amarok manual
[00:07] <valorie> looking around for another project, courtesy of google
[00:07] <Lancelot> ice cream server?
[00:20] <valorie> it's a way to use the cores of other 'puters
[00:20] <valorie> pretty neato when you are building stuff from source
[00:21] <valorie> one of the devels set it up on my netbook -- took less than 5 mins
[00:22] <valorie> and they have 5 boxes there on loan for that purpose
[00:22] <valorie> had
[00:23] <Lancelot> I see
[00:25] <valorie> worth looking up if you have stuff to build often, and empty cycles you can glom onto
[00:26] <valorie> no good here.... I don't think adding 2 tiny atom cores and an android phone would help much
[00:26] <valorie> :-)
[00:33] <Lancelot> hmm
[00:44] <valorie> one devel friend did get his phone into it when he was first trying it out
[00:44] <valorie> making all the computer fans turn on
[00:45] <valorie> could be a good winter-time strategy for heating the house!
[00:50] <Lancelot> no kidding
[00:50] <Lancelot> my laptop can do my whole room in the winter time
[00:51] <valorie> right on the lap, it's very warm indeed
[00:51] <valorie> I have a rigid foam thing to keep it off my lap
[00:51] <valorie> or I'd cook
[00:52] <Lancelot> yeah
[00:52] <Lancelot> I'm actually gonna make a laptop stand
[00:53] <Lancelot> so I can get better cooling
[01:00] <valorie> this is a belkin
[01:00] <valorie> ordered it from amazon
[01:00] <valorie> puts the lappy up where my wrists can be straight
[01:06] <Lancelot> yeah
