[04:52] <hads> Ooo excitement. My 27" monitors have arrived from Korea.
[04:53] <chilts> cool!
[04:54] <hads> I'm not sure I have room on my desk for two.
[04:59] <ajmitch> send one down my way
[05:00] <ajmitch> sadly I've only really got room for a single monitor as well :)
[05:00] <hads> heh. I do have to decide whether I'm being greedy and should just sell one.
[05:00] <ajmitch> if it's a decent monitor, I might be interested :)
[05:01]  * ajmitch was looking at getting a new one recently
[05:01] <hads> 2560x1440 IPS
[05:02] <ajmitch> I'm guessing it's one of these cheap unknown brands that various people have been blogging about?
[05:02] <hads> Yeah, thought I'd take a gamble.
[05:02] <ajmitch> if you do decide to sell, let me know
[05:03] <hads> Sure.

[05:08] <chilts> hads: how much did they set you back each?
[05:08]  * ajmitch thinks it'd probably be a noticeable difference from the 1600x1200 monitor currently being used
[05:32] <hads> chilts: They were US$300ea. not including customs charges and GST
[05:33] <hads> Can't get X to come up at the moment for some reason.
[05:49] <Pikiora> Oh no, not greedy, essential :P How else will you watch a movie while browsing? Play a game while tweeting ;)
[05:49] <Pikiora> Essential!
[05:54] <hads> True, but not as essential if you've got 2560 horizontal resolution.
[05:55] <hads> Had to remove the Nvidia driver to get X running for the moment.
[05:55] <hads> Pretty stunning picture.
[06:08] <chilts> hads: cool :)
[06:09] <chilts> if I may ask, how much was customs charges? I think I had to pay about $50
[06:09] <chilts> which is kinda annoying, but not sure if it varies for different things
[06:24] <hads> Yeah about $50. It does vary very slightly with value but not a lot. It does vary dependant on who does the clearance though.
[06:25] <hads> Fedex/UPS/DHL are all about $50. NZ Post are about $120
[18:45] <Atamira> morning !
[20:41] <ibeardslee> mumble mutter
[20:42] <chilts> morning
[20:42] <chilts> ibeardslee: wasssuuuuuuupppppp???
[20:43] <ibeardslee> rotten houses
[20:46] <ajmitch> morning
[21:24] <ajmitch> seems like my laptop likes to lie to me about battery life remaining
[21:25] <ajmitch> you'd think I'd get at least an hour out of a fully-charged battery though
[21:31] <chilts> ibeardslee: yeah, that sucks :(
