DonkeyHoteiyou don't pick your own?03:02
philipballewno, they might have given me that option, but they have not told me who mine is yet. I wonder if I just find out then when they walk in the room03:04
philipballewI kinda of like the random idea of meeting someone new03:06
DarkwingI'm flying in on the sunday before :)03:43
Darkwingphilipballew: You meet really cool people that way.03:43
pleia2the breakfast is usually provided by the hotel itself and you have to be staying there03:44
pleia2in orlando you had to show your room key03:45
pleia2(I guess you can sneak in, but I wouldn't go around telling everyone there is free breakfast)03:45
pleia2lunch is free though :) and there tend to be heavy appetizers on mon, tues and friday at the sponsored events03:47
pleia2and lots of snacks and soft drinks throughout the day03:48

DarkwingYeah, for a bunch of people sitting, there is TONS of food.04:13

pleia2well, as a data point, I am not cool and my primary machine is still a desktop04:54
guahmm04:58
bkerensa=o05:00
guai want a laptop but the price vs performance is so crazy different05:02
Darkwinghehehe. I have my laptop but, I'm going to re-build my desktop for home use.05:02
guai'm just used to taking what i'm working on wherever05:02
guaDarkwing: which would be your primary?05:02
philipballewbuilding desktops is fun05:03
DarkwingYes and no...05:03
DarkwingI'm on the go a LOT.05:03
DarkwingSo, it would be a 50/50 mix.05:03
DarkwingMy desktop would be a heave video/audio production machine.05:03
DarkwingAnd prolly my build/package farm.05:03
Darkwingquassel-core would live there too.05:04
philipballewcan you just set it up to ssh/vnc into from the laptop?05:04
DarkwingYup, if needed.05:05
guai do kind of have a server type thing. inexpensive quad xeon thing, but like 34xx series05:05
DarkwingBut, the only thing I would use the DE for is my audio/video work.05:06
guathough i'm always moving my laptop05:06
guaDarkwing: so you'd be on your laptop most of the time right?05:06
DarkwingAye.05:06
DarkwingThat and my tablet.05:06

Darkwinghehehe... Yeah, pleia2 is so far past cool... I dream about being her when I grow up :P:P05:08
guaportability is a big plus05:08
