Today

[Bare Foot Kid]

Ok well today I had to say goodbye to my old friend Athlon XP chip.
It was a machine I built in 2000 it was an Athlon XP 1800+ at 1.33Ghz, 1gig of DDR ram, A MSI K7T266Pro-RU Mobo ATI Radeon 32meg Dual 40gig Seagate drives and a 80 WD drive. It has run everyday for the last nine years and today I come home to see the power supply has fried it's self and the mobo. I really liked that machine it ran better then a lot of others I built guess it was its time.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend m8.

Thanks man, scary thing is i never thought that machine would last this long for how much i beat on it. Guess it all comes down to if you pay good money for high quality parts you get your money wroth. I think i might keep the case and look for a new mobo, power supply and shoot will have to be ram and a pci ide controller since most boards now have SATA and one ide and i might as well use the old drives since i have them.

Sorry to hear of your loss DarkXeno you did well making it last. I lost 2 of my machines today, an XP and a WinME, my son-in-law has taken charge of them to play with in their shop, at least that makes a bit more space in what was my daughters bedroom, you still can't get in there though

 

[DarkXeno]

Joan I hear you there I have one room in my house I still cant even open the door the whole way because of the junk lol.

Trouble is it's not junk though, there's a lot of furniture ready for when they get a bigger house, I will say though my son-in-law knows how to pack things in there

[Zen00]

Congrats then, Antman!

 

[Dave76]

Very honorable and gracious thing to do, you've made some people very happy.

 

[Dinesh]

Thank you Antman.

Antman. Excellent fellow. I trust your "procedure" went smoothly then?

Also. did you get the Google Wave invite? If not check your spam,J

 

[chuckr]

Antman,
Nice moves !

Other parked members are still determining the legality of it all...
Congratulations to Antman, with an unrelated cartoon:

Nexenta: TAoNM

Been checkin out some scientists' version here.
I think this one might be 'Do-able':

... put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world ...

Being RHEL 5, it should fit right in.

I got the invite, resurrected my Google account, and found what appeared to be an empty discussion.

Yes. I know what you mean. This certainly isn't an easy interface at the moment. I imagine you can only see me in your contacts list. I can't see you at all unless you are the guy with a number for a name.
I can see about 9 SF members and have had chats with Barman58 and Blackrose but I'm not sure whether you will be able to see them.
The problem is that some people have changed their email address from the one they gave me so I don't know who they are and can't invite them into a conversation.
At the moment this seems to function as advertised if you are both on Wave at the same time. Then you can have a live chat like IM only real time. Otherwise it's like email and you can leave emails for someone to pick up later.
I can't seem to find a notifier so I don't know whether someone is "pinging" me or whether I have a message.
I must say, I know this is a beta but I'm surprised at Google putting it out like this. It is difficult and a bit off putting.
I imagine Google will be updating it rapidly but at the moment I don't get it.
I have a thread in VIP. If you pm those guys I imagine they will tell their googlewave.com addresses.
I'm going to persevere just in case it is the "future of email" etc:sarc:

 

[Uber Philf]

What exactly is this "Google Wave"??

 

[johnwillyums]

Philf, if I had any invites left I'd send you one but I only got 20 and they're all gone.
As to what it is. Google are touting it as the future of email, IM, social networking and conferencing all rolled into one.
The idea is you can start a "wave" aimed at someone you know, IM chat with them in real time, pull other contacts into that conversation if you want to, edit each others posts or interject etc.
At the moment it is more like a development project than most betas I have used but I think it will be good eventually.
I imagine as it rolls out more invites will be sent out and you'll be able to get one though I hear of people selling invites on ebay.
I definitely wouldn't pay for it

Uber, PM me your email and I'll send you an invitation.

Hear that whooshing sound? That's the bozone being sucked out of your relief valve.

I heard it. Thread closed.

 

[Uber Philf]

I spose the admins have a good reason to do that, promotes us in the wrong way. Probably better we keep these things to ourselves, funny im drunk, and can still think of something to say.
