[02:41] <snap-l> day
[04:52] <jrwren> mmm bacon
[13:49] <brousch> Randall Schwartz just said, "I'm something of a polyglot programmer. I've used 45 programming languages over the years, but I haven't been able to wrap my head around Python or Ruby"
[13:49] <brousch> wtf
[17:45] <snap-l> btw: meeting tonight
[18:09] <gamerchick02> anyone play with that new Dell XPS ultrabook yet?
[18:09] <gamerchick02> i took a gander at it at BB today. holy cow, it's a nice computer.
[22:05] <rick_h_> gamerchick02: if the x230's get released this month like they're supposed to, might have an x201 with 8gb of ram for sale :)
[22:05] <rick_h_> hmm, cnet says: 05/24/12 we'll see
[22:05] <gamerchick02> ooooh
[22:05] <gamerchick02> we will see
[22:06] <gamerchick02> i just keep looking at that Mac Air though
[22:08] <brousch> rick_h_: is the keyboard still in tact?
[22:08] <brousch> or has it been pummeled to dust?
[22:19] <gamerchick02> hah. i can see that.
[22:19] <gamerchick02> you have the "awesome version" yes?
[22:19] <gamerchick02> like 8gb ram and an SSD?
[22:20] <brousch> I need that 8GB
[22:22] <rick_h_> brousch: hey, it's a thinkpad :)
[22:22] <brousch> Yeah, but I've seen you type
[22:22] <rick_h_> yea, 8gb of ram, I bought and put in my own 160gb intel ssd but that's two years
[22:22] <brousch> All the letters worn off?
[22:22] <rick_h_> i5 since better battery than the i7 with a 9cell and a 3 cell battery for it
[22:22] <rick_h_> no, none of the ltters are worn off
[22:23] <brousch> nice system
[22:23] <rick_h_> yea, it's been my one true box for 2 years
[22:24] <rick_h_> but it's time to get that new chipset and a new SSD, and if it has a 1600 display <3 OMG OMG OMG
[22:26] <brousch> I'm still on this 6 year old Dell D630, but 4GB and SSD now
[22:26] <brousch> Too big to lug around at conferences
[22:27] <rick_h_> yea, will never go bigger than this 12.1/12.5 again I don't think
[22:27] <rick_h_> worked great these last two years
[22:31] <brousch> I may just reformat the macbook pro. I got all the goodies working under Kubuntu live cd
[22:32] <brousch> The touchpad is still a little annoying, but a bluetooth mouse would work
[22:35] <gamerchick02> rick_h_ that sounds amazing.
[23:33] <rick_h_> ooh, this is the first I've seen of WiDi. jcastro you seen anything about linux support in that realm?
[23:34] <gamerchick02> WiDi? what is that? (i'm out of the loop it seems)
[23:34] <rick_h_> wireless display
[23:35] <rick_h_> so firing a second monitor across wireless to a monitor/tv
[23:39] <gamerchick02> oooh. that sounds pretty awesome
[23:44] <brousch> i've seen those for a couple of years
[23:45] <brousch> via a dongle at each end
[23:48] <rick_h_> brousch: right, guess the new x230 has it built into its end
[23:49] <rick_h_> so you just need the dongle on the display end
[23:49] <brousch> oh nice
[23:49] <rick_h_> hmmm, this review says June 5th...
[23:50] <gamerchick02> you guys and talking about dongles. *ducks and runs*
[23:51] <gamerchick02> sorry, i'm cheeky this evening.
[23:52] <brousch> Suppresses inappropriate jokes about dongles and cheeks
[23:54] <rick_h_> oh boooo "I did confirm with Lenovo there will NOT be an HD+ screen. LaptopMag reported there would be, but that was a misquote and untrue."
[23:54] <rick_h_> no 1600 for me :/
[23:55] <gamerchick02> awwww.
[23:55] <gamerchick02> brousch, that's ok. no need to suppress anything.
[23:56] <gamerchick02> but all this has made me grin and laugh. i need that tonight. :)
[23:57] <rick_h_> man, been afk for almost all weekend
[23:57] <rick_h_> and my email/rss are hating on me
[23:57] <rick_h_> greg-g: what did you end up doing SSD-wise? Did you hear back from jcastro? Putting a 240gb intel in my wishlist I htink for the moment
[23:59] <rick_h_> oooh, this looks sweet: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/06/geek-upgrade-diy-install-of-newertech-power2u-usb-outlet/
