rmg51 | and I'm getting ready to go to dinner at a friends house | 20:40 |
rmg51 | dinner is canceled | 20:50 |

JonathanD | waltman: new asian buffet in norristown is great. | 21:06 |
rmg51 | I was wrong | 21:08 |
rmg51 | it is raining here | 21:08 |
waltman | JonathanD: Oh? Which new asian buffet in norristown? | 21:11 |
JonathanD | 5 loaves 2 fishes. | 21:11 |
JonathanD | it's at 202 and germantown | 21:11 |
JonathanD | we stopped there today. | 21:11 |
waltman | ah, up there. | 21:11 |
JonathanD | excellent spread. | 21:11 |
waltman | Sushi? | 21:12 |
JonathanD | yes | 21:13 |
waltman | I'll have to check it out sometime. | 21:13 |
JonathanD | Maybe we'll meet you there some time. | 21:14 |
waltman | maybe! | 21:16 |
waltman | Not today though. | 21:16 |
JonathanD | No, not today. | 21:16 |
waltman | Anything particularly remarkable about it? | 21:18 |
JonathanD | waltman: just a nice spread. They had americanish food for the kids if they we're feeling the asian. | 21:19 |
waltman | not feeling? | 21:19 |
JonathanD | Lots of items. I had some chicken on a stick, fried rice, general tso's. | 21:20 |
waltman | mmm | 21:20 |
JonathanD | if they were not feeling like asian | 21:20 |
JonathanD | they had pizza and stuff too. | 21:20 |
JonathanD | really good crab rangoon things. | 21:20 |
waltman | I have a taste for something asian, but my stomach's been bothering me. I think I'm just going to have some soup for dinner. | 21:20 |
JonathanD | hot and sour soup | 21:21 |
JonathanD | always settles my stomach :P | 21:21 |
JonathanD | waltman: they had a soup bar with 8 or so soups. | 21:21 |
waltman | mmm | 21:21 |
JonathanD | there were I think 8 seperate bars, + sushi. | 21:21 |
JonathanD | It was all very good. | 21:22 |
waltman | mmm | 21:22 |
JonathanD | and like, $9 | 21:22 |
waltman | mmm | 21:23 |
waltman | http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/7957087900/in/contacts/ # pleia2's found the holodeck console! | 21:25 |
JonathanD | uhoh. | 21:28 |
rmg51 | it was bound to happen sooner or later :-/ | 21:33 |
JonathanD | I just installed a new server in the basement, too. | 21:34 |
JonathanD | 16GB ram. | 21:34 |
waltman | nice | 21:36 |
JonathanD | Running minecraft :P | 21:36 |
JonathanD | Someone paid me with it. | 21:36 |
JonathanD | well, partially. | 21:37 |
waltman | barter++ | 21:37 |
waltman | If I have to get a windows box for this postdoc, I don't know where I'm going to put it. | 21:37 |
JonathanD | you can host a windows VM on my new server. | 21:37 |
JonathanD | thats what it's for. | 21:37 |
waltman | Maybe I'll get a big new linux box and put a vm on it. | 21:37 |
waltman | I probably need a big honkin' video card, too. | 21:38 |
JonathanD | What are you doing with it? | 21:38 |
JonathanD | how honkin? | 21:38 |
JonathanD | I have a couple spares. | 21:38 |
waltman | The prof who'd be my adviser/boss is doing video analysis of stem cells. | 21:39 |
waltman | he's doing something that he's offloading to GPUs | 21:39 |
JonathanD | ah | 21:39 |
JonathanD | so you need real GPUs | 21:39 |
waltman | yeah | 21:39 |
JonathanD | I don't have anything, other than a 285, that might be useful. | 21:40 |
waltman | his work machine is some crazy big 17" alienware gamer laptop | 21:40 |
JonathanD | The 285 is probably too slow these days. | 21:41 |
waltman | I'm just using the onboard intel video on my 7+ year old mobo. | 21:41 |
JonathanD | Thats effectively useless in these cases :p | 21:41 |
JonathanD | http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285 | 21:42 |
JonathanD | You can have that if you want it, but I bet a newer one would have the same oomph for less watts. | 21:42 |
waltman | It's fine so long as I don't do a lot of video watching | 21:42 |
waltman | The entire box need to be upgraded. | 21:43 |
JonathanD | yah | 21:43 |
JonathanD | well, 7 year old mobo video card means 7 year old mobo to go with it. | 21:43 |
waltman | well, yeah | 21:43 |
JonathanD | SO yeah. Build something capable of virtualization? | 21:43 |
waltman | I guess. | 21:45 |
waltman | Anyway, it's still to early to be worrying about that. | 21:46 |
waltman | Mostly I use this box for email, irc, web browsing, and LaTeX. It works fine for that. | 21:47 |
