[15:28] <_bbb> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834310531
[15:28] <_bbb> picked one up.. slapped last mint on there... totally decent i must say
[15:29] <snap-l> God, 1024x768
[15:29] <_bbb> i was gonna get another netbook so..
[15:29] <_bbb> what are you one of those resolution whores or something
[15:29] <paultag> I want an x1-carbon
[15:30] <snap-l> I want pixels, and lots of them
[15:30] <_bbb> im not gonna pay alot for this muffler
[15:30] <paultag> x1-carbon
[15:31] <paultag> doesnt matter; have a carbon
[15:31] <_bbb> looks nice
[15:31] <paultag> different power adapt
[15:31] <paultag> which pisses me off
[15:31] <paultag> because I have like 8 of the regular thinkpad kind
[15:31] <snap-l> I <3 my X120
[15:31] <paultag> I ♥ my t520i and t420s
[15:32] <_bbb> i had an x100e sold it
[15:32] <paultag> although I recently blew out my 520's USB bus
[15:32] <paultag> so that no longer has USB ports
[15:32] <_bbb> t60 and t42 on the floor behind me
[15:33] <paultag> t42 is like the AK-47 of software developers
[15:33] <_bbb> yeah i even got ssd in there
[15:33] <paultag> nice.
[15:33] <_bbb> pata
[15:35] <_bbb> my wife has thinkpad edge or some shit
[15:35] <_bbb> quality aint the same
[15:35] <paultag> edge sucks
[15:35] <paultag> go t* x* or go home
[15:35] <paultag> L series is crap
[15:35] <paultag> so is S
[15:36] <_bbb> i think i still got two t21s in the attic somewhere
[15:36] <paultag> x1-carbon might be my next computer if I can rationalize the charger
[15:36] <_bbb> looted from apknet heh
[15:36] <dzho> paultag: what's the deal with the charger?
[15:37] <_bbb> Lenovo RapidCharge, for five hours? battery life on a 35-minute charge
[15:37] <paultag> dzho: it's not the same plug thing
[15:38] <_bbb> is it like you place it on a pad or whatever
[15:38] <_bbb> like those new nokias
[15:38] <_bbb> ?
[15:38] <dzho> yeah, I guess the earlier ones are a bit big in diameter for the ultrabook form factor
[15:40] <_bbb> all out of stock on newegg
[15:40] <paultag> it's such a sexy machine
[15:41] <dzho> I wish Lenovo dealt better with orgs like $EMPLOYER
[15:41] <dzho> but apparently they won't even give you the time of day unless you tend to order more than $FIXNUM systems at a time
[15:41] <dzho> and, we don't
[15:42] <_bbb> hmm
[15:42] <_bbb> yeah you can always find off lease
[15:43] <paultag> I'm going to have to send my machine back to get it fixed
[15:43] <paultag> but I don't wana.
[15:43] <snap-l> heh
[15:43] <paultag> I wonder if I can get MIT to fix it.
[15:43] <snap-l> paultag: On-site repair. ;)
[15:43] <paultag> it's a blown USB bus, snap-l :)
[15:43] <paultag> I don't think they can on-site that
[15:43] <snap-l> I think jcastro got Dell to do an onsite repair
[15:44] <snap-l> Yeah, just bring a new mobo
[15:44] <paultag> oh, no shit.
[15:44] <snap-l> pop pop and you're don
[15:44] <paultag> that would rock.
[15:44] <snap-l> done
[15:44] <snap-l> It may be extra $$ for the tech visit, but if you don't want to wait, it may be worth it
[15:44] <snap-l> and I don't know how Lenovo handles on-site, or if they even offer it
[15:45] <snap-l> but yeah, fixing the USB == replacing the mobo
[15:45] <paultag> I'll walk down the road to MIT and see if their IT folks can fix it
[15:45] <snap-l> nobody does onsite diagnostic like replacing reistors and stuff, it's usually a mobo swap
[15:45] <paultag> well, it was 120v through the bus
[15:46] <paultag> so, perhaps a transistor or two
[15:46] <snap-l> Again, nobody does onsite diagnostic like replacing reistors and stuff, it's usually a mobo swap
[15:46] <snap-l> ;)
[15:46] <snap-l> DOn't make me use history keys again. ;)
[15:47] <paultag> :)
[15:47] <_bbb> who is going to olfacon
[15:47] <paultag> I'm going to normal OLF if that's the same thing
[15:47] <snap-l> Is that where folks smell each other?
[15:48] <dzho> eww
[15:48] <snap-l> A celebration of the nose (olfactory)
[15:49] <_bbb> odoriferous emanations
[15:49] <snap-l> I'm tentative for OLF.
[15:50] <snap-l> Wife's dad is in the hospital, and this week he's either getting discharged or Lord knows what.
[15:50] <dzho> best wishes with that, snap-l
[15:51] <_bbb> yeah
[15:51] <_bbb> just got a room at the hyatt since drury was full
[15:52] <dzho> same here
[15:52] <snap-l> dzho: Thanks. Hoping today gives some more clarity.
[15:53] <_bbb> probably nicer anyway
[15:53] <snap-l> drury is pretty sweet
[15:53] <_bbb> im joel hyatt and you have my word on it
[15:54] <_bbb> so
[15:55] <_bbb> is there a pre party
[15:55] <dzho> _bbb: when?
[15:55] <dzho> I don't know if there's anything Thu night.  There is stuff on Friday.
[15:56] <dzho> I think Thu night is "make your own fun"
[15:56] <_bbb> i mean fri night
[15:56] <dzho> slumber party
[15:56] <_bbb> heh pajamas
[16:37] <thafreak> pyjamas
[16:37] <thafreak> lets put it this way...if there's no official olf pre-party
[16:37] <thafreak> there will be an un-official loco party
[16:37] <dzho> heh
[16:38] <dzho> A PARTY WILL HAPPEN
[16:38] <thafreak> I think taggypants said something about the hyatt having a bar, which was why he chose that hotel
[16:59] <paultag> challah
[17:09] <dzho> sourdough
[19:27] <Unit193> paultag: Haha!  Ubuntu #1055766  is so going places!

[19:33] <dzho> oh, look.
[19:34] <paultag> :)
