- new sunglasses: rayban wayfarers, black
- laptop 2.5" hard drive - 250gb preferably
- x60 battery
should i get a 4-cell, (3.55hrs, flush to the back and lighter) or 8-cell (standard one ~7hrs that sticks out)
But first I will buy a server for my site.
oh, I know one. a turntable! I have four records and no way to play any of them.
I'm not sure yet, but a Sun/SPARC64 might be nice.
Other than that, I don't really need anything. I have have a backpack, clothes, and bedding.
I think I've learned never to charge batteries with a power inverter on a car, even if it's supposedly safe for electronics. I'm quasi convinced that using my inverter dramatically killed the cycles on my 8cell. I'm also pretty sure the car lighter adapter killed my first ipod mini.
hopefully the power converter here in the uk doesn't kill my new batt.

You know it does.
> The first one is worth it
What is so great about this keyboard that two of y'all are considering dropping nearly three bills on one?
answer to my question: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=7747& … lforce+103
I actually paid USD 430 for it including shipping and Norwegian taxes. Still worth it because the key switches are so good.
me neither. this isn't the "bought" thread.
i'm debating between the tenkey and tenkeyless models at this point and i will almost certainly go with a topre realforce. i spend so much time on a computer that it's absolutely worth it (i'm pretty much at my desk for ~12-15 hours a day at work).
1. heavy, heavy shortcut user in excel / powerpoint
2. bottom out on my cheap keyboard at work (membrane)
3. strongly suspect some of the switches on my keyboard at work are long gone
3. don't mind my cheapie mechanical keyboards at home, but i think the weighting is off on them
4. need relatively quiet keys, as i work in a bullpen-style office (not cubicles, thank god)
plus:
5. wrist pain :(
2. car
3. bike trailer
4. co2 tank and regulator for kegs
2. new winter gloves for the bike.
3. send off 13 rolls of Super-8 to be processed.
4. ultralight hammock (ENO is comfortable as hell) + mosquito netting
5. 6 - 8qt dutch oven
6. 1oz of fun
7. 2 - 3 tickets to Doug Stanhope on May 20th
:(
