studiohack

@nhinkle wow nice... yes, I got the email as well, and he was nice enough to include a tracking number...

Hey @nhinkle, how's it going?

nhinkle

pretty good

yourself?

Simon Sheehan

Actually very good today, getting some stuff done finally.

Preparing my MVSU nominations early :p

nhinkle

nice, nice

i've already recruited @jcrawfordor to write some more blog posts for us. he has some cool ones lined up.

Simon Sheehan

We can make more than one nomination, right? I had 2 users in mind

Awesome.

nhinkle

also @berk98 may be joining us on the blog

@SimonSheehan yep, more than one is fine

Simon Sheehan

03:17

That's really good. Wonder how many more the contest will wrangle in :)

nhinkle

we shall see. hopefully a lot :D

i picked up two used LCDs yesterday. now i've got 3 monitors. i can only use 2 of them at once right now though because my laptop only supports 2 simultaneous displays

Simon Sheehan

Got a desktop? Triple monitors can be really fun :D

nhinkle

@SimonSheehan getting. Jeff put the parts in the mail today, and I'm deciding what other components to order

Simon Sheehan

You could always convert one into a TV. if it supports DVI

nhinkle

have you used a computer with 3 monitors?

Simon Sheehan

03:21

I have once. Most people like even numbers, dual or quad :P

nhinkle

i think 3 is better - that way you have a natural middle to look at, and then something on either side

i'd take 3 over 2 any day of course

Simon Sheehan

Good point. I saw an iMac with 2 cinemas display one day, was really cool :D

I still use a single monitor myself though

nhinkle

dayum

hmm. do well in the SU contest, maybe you could win a monitor ;)

Simon Sheehan

Perhaps :)

I'm sure I'll find something fun to blog about too.

Well, gonna go find a charger. Cya later @nhinkle

nhinkle

toodles @simon

@nhinkle @studiohack remind me again, what're you 2 getting?

studiohack

04:59

the computer hardware that Jeff was giving away to US-based Super Users @Sathya

Sathya

studiohack

@Sathya hoping to build my first pc with it :P

Sathya

nice, what're the components?

studiohack

@Sathya simply put, a Core 2 Duo + mobo+heatsink+psu is one pile (mine), @nhinkle's is an i7 processor, + 25gb ram, +mobo (I think? @nhinkle) + psu

Sathya

need more details :P

studiohack

05:04

@Sathya tbh, that's all I know at this point :P

Sathya

haha ok

studiohack

@Sathya wish you could have been in on that... :(

Sathya

I'd have grabbed the i7 :p

but seriously, even if I could, I'd have to turn it down

studiohack

me too :P - but nhinkle deserves it more...

@Sathya time? $$?

Sathya

@studiohack there's no place.. I stay in semi-dorm/paying guest kinda place, there's absolutely no place

studiohack

05:07

no place and no space... sounds like fun... not @Sathya

Sathya

I'm eagerly waiting for the upcoming couple of weeks.. have an .. interesting delivery waiting to happen

studiohack

oh? what would that be @Sathya? (if you don't mind my asking

Sathya

nhinkle

@studiohack 25GB of RAM? That's preposterous - nobody needs that much RAM. I'm getting 24 GB. ;)

studiohack

@nhinkle haha :P

@Sathya whoa! nice

laters @nhinkle @Sathya :)

nhinkle

05:13

Hm. If I blogged about how to set up a computer in a car, could Ivo's funds pay me for a car? :D

Sathya

@studiohack my first car :) see ya :)

@nhinkle heh

nhinkle

congrats @Sathya

Sathya

@nhinkle thanks!

nhinkle

my first car:

Sathya

nhinkle

05:15

i've already put over 2500 miles on it, too

Sathya

theoretically here's mine

nhinkle

haha, yes, i do a lot of walking too. i can't even begin to count how many miles on my legs

Sathya

(although not mine mine)

nhinkle

did you just google "legs" or are those... oh, ok

that's not actually my bike either, but it's the same model

Sathya

former @nhinkle :P

jcrawfordor

05:27

I get a ping from this chat room, load it up, and there's a leg.

Sathya

hahah ;p

(ping: @nhinkle )

nhinkle

05:49

eh @Sathya?

oh. it's @jcrawfordor. yeah I mentioned you a while ago. hi

jcrawfordor

yeah, I looked back and saw the ping. Just found it funny that for some reason it scrolled to the wrong place and left me with the leg.

I'm working on that one blog post right now. maybe half done.

nhinkle

already? that's quick

i'm planning to put up the one i was working on (about laptop security) on Monday

so we could probably get yours up wednesday or thereabouts

@jcrawfordor I just noticed you've surpassed @jtbandes in rep now

jcrawfordor

oo. I WIN I WIN I WIN. Now to get my Reddit karma past him.

nhinkle

he's got you way beat on Stack Overflow though

jcrawfordor

06:16

oh yeah, I really don't pay attention to sites other than superuser.

jcrawfordor

06:37

I have to say that GadgetTrak is looking pretty cool, mostly because of the price. I might take one for the team and try it out. By which I mean subscribe my laptop.
