[10:16] o/ [15:01] morning everyone [15:02] bleh [15:02] morning is invalid [15:07] lol [15:12] im forking the qwebirc project and going to restyle it its to plain for me :) [15:12] lol [15:12] and im putting on github i hate mercurial compared to git [15:12] :D [17:29] It went from summer to fall in the matter of a hurricane [17:50] quite nice outside now [17:51] I enjoyed finally not sweating while walking my dogs at 1am [17:51] hehe [17:54] indeed, the walk to the train station was quite lovely. [17:54] except that septa is a mess right now. [18:14] * waltman wonders if the R5 has starting running yet [18:14] Doesn't look like it. [18:15] watery? [18:16] treey [18:16] woody? [18:17] Last I saw the train platforms at Trenton were still under water [18:18] yeah, I've seen lots of flooding photos [18:18] I'm guessing on the Paoli line the issue is more trees than water [18:19] are sections that were affected the most in PA still under that disaster emergency state? [18:19] one of our customers was ok yesterday, but their T1 went do this morning due to the water continuing to rise :( [18:19] There were some power issues along Route 30 when I was driving in this morning. A lot of streetlights out, and a few downed poles from what I could see. [18:19] s/do/down [18:27] I drove down through Strafford and Wayne today at lunch and it all seemed fine except for one crew along Conestoga Rd. [18:30] I didn't go down quite that far, but I know there were a good deal of streetlights out between Coatesville and Downingtown this morning. I'm not sure if it extended all the way to Paoli. [19:06] R5 is down still i think [19:06] R2 is like running half an hour lae. [19:06] manyunk is a wreck [19:41] okay so i've finally amassed enough money for a new laptop. I am thinking a thinkpad. [19:45] I like my dell xps [19:46] but they stopped making 13" [19:46] I'd recommend system 76 as well [19:46] sadly its hard to find something smallish that has nvidia in it anymore [19:46] system76 has had some terrible reviews on reddit lately. [19:47] thats too bad [19:47] like support or hardware? [19:47] both [19:47] I have a meerkat ion from them, has run well enough [19:47] that said I just build a newer ion for cheaper [19:47] I need a tank also - I tend to be a bit rough on my stuff [19:47] I do like the look of the system76 stuff [19:47] howerver. [19:47] my budget is like $1200 - so it's really anything [19:48] I splurged for an led screen and ssd on this, glad I did [19:48] a bit pricey up front, but I use it every day at work [19:48] is SSD worth it? [19:48] I hear they are not reliable [19:48] and they use more power [19:48] speedy quick [19:48] small in storage too though [19:49] their idle is way higher than regular HDDS [19:49] I can't say for sure but I thought it was the opposite [19:49] hdds have greater max usage though [19:49] no, phoronix ran a whole test thing if i recall. [19:49] or it was toms hardware [19:51] but that was 2009 [19:51] either way - 200 bucks for 64gigs is not worth it. [19:52] I'm at 128gb I think [19:52] just don't keep music and crap on there [19:52] get yourself a nice cowon for that :) [19:52] yeah... [19:52] I don't want to carry around an external drive. [19:53] cowon == media player [19:53] Ah [19:53] well I like to use my desktop for music [19:53] could do an ipod if you care about looks and not sound quality [19:53] also I use/do a TON of audio production stuff. [19:53] so I need space, and a lot of it. [20:12] the samsungs(although untested) look real hotttt [20:13] woot has been teasing me with one [20:22] woot has had i3 13.3 sammy for 500 twice [20:22] but i3... [20:22] err 15 iirc [20:23] best buy has i7 15's for 800-900 [20:23] I think I am going to get an i7. [20:23] it will be out of date in 2 years, but it will be good for longer [20:23] than an i3 [20:23] I figure I can always upgrade ram and HDD later, processor I am stuck with on a laptop [20:24] I also want somethng that will last 5+ years. those 800 i7's are probably plastic [20:24] . [20:24] the woot i5 was aluminum [20:24] thats the tease' [20:24] oh boy. [20:25] check, i think most of the sammy's are alum now [20:25] i'm driving [20:25] they are duralumin [20:25] so aluminum with a new name. [20:25] I looked at system 76, they don't offer a good 13 inch :| [20:26] check the other linux house... pleia2 whats their name? [20:26] zareason [20:27] zareason ok. [20:27] MutantTurkey: ^^^ [20:27] also, AMD? [20:27] do we have opinions on them? [20:28] i don't have any, you, with the audio, may be worth a google [20:28] jedijf: they are also just i3's on their 13 [20:28] I just see AMD's are so dang cheap [20:28] lenovo offers i7's on 13.3 inch [20:29] lenovo is first choice, the sammy's just look hottt [20:29] model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) [20:29] stepping : 10 [20:29] cpu MHz : 696.960 [20:29] jedijf: oh boy that's high powered. [20:29] woot. [20:29] all samsungs are flashy flashy [20:29] not powerful [20:30] ibm x21 that lives and works outside reliably [20:30] all tempa cheer [20:30] also a reason for lenovo, they are good all weather and all locations [20:31] make sure you get an eraserhead model\ [20:31] definitely [20:31] those are my favorite. though I am likely to buy a bluetooth mouse [20:31] hipster [20:31] It's true. [20:31] I am just really bad at using touch pads. [20:31] I am a tiling manager guy anyway :) I stay off the mouse as much as possible [20:32] lenovo = 720p webcame [20:32] frivalous extra device [20:32] the camera? nope I need it to webchat with my girlfriend [20:33] lame, irc is much hotter [20:33] thats what I keep telling her... [20:33] her excuse is something about my nick... [20:33] dump her [20:33] also, I finally thought up a new mobile name [20:33] MobileTurkey! [20:33] jedijf: my mom likes this one. [20:34] dump her faster [20:34] hahahaha [20:35] i know this from my own son; let me help you pick [20:35] she's actually really great except she isn't a computer geek [20:36] k... lawn time [20:36] see ya [20:36] altavista, baby. [20:36] or something like that. [23:23] spend spend spend
