<0> cmf: you actually use the laptop touchpad for working?
<1> i dont have a touchpad
<1> i have a trackpoint
<1> thinkpad x's
<1> oh how i love them
<1> with trackpoints you dont have to ever move your hands
<1> with touchpads you have to move your hand down
<1> to put your finger on the pad
<1> heh
<1> i cant imagine how awful it would be to move my hand down all the time
<1> would drive me nuts
<1> i've been using a laptop for coding for about 10 years now
<1> and I can't imagine using anything else
<0> the track point that little rubber thing?
<1> so inefficient to keep reaching over for a mouse
<1> yes
<1> it's not rubber but yes
<1> hehe
<0> ahh :D
<0> i've tried one, found it rather annoying to use really.. but to quote you, each to his own..
<2> hi there
<0> infact, i can't stand any laptop mouse method.. i usually have to plug in a USB..
<0> hi dayna
<1> it took me a few weeks to get used to the trackpoint
<1> but.. just think of it
<2> I'm actually getting used to this touch pad.
<0> Dayna: bad connection?
<2> I'll have to turn up the accelleration.
<1> like.. i cant imagine moving my hand all the time to grab a mouse
<1> it's so inefficient
<2> nope. installing/uninstalling crap. gotta reboot.
<1> with the trackpoint you just move your finger heh
<0> i suppose it makes sense.. if you got used to it..
<2> I heard someone call those... clit mice
<3> lol
<1> lol
<1> nice
<0> i wonder if there's any regular keyboard that comes with a trackpoint..
<0> http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4WKSWX
<0> bingo..
<0> but i suppose you're used to the tiny keys aswell..
<2> joe90: yes there is.
<2> I have a full size keyboard and number pad on this machine.
<2> I'm currently sitting outside on the patio
<2> connected to my wireless network.
<0> sounds cushy.. what's the weather like?
<2> when we went to denny's for dinner I couldn't resist playing with it.
<2> plugged it in and set it up
<2> and it connected to an insecure WAP and boom I was online.
<2> sunny and hot today.
<2> I was sure I was gonna p*** out in the store where I bought the pc.
<2> www.frontierpc.com
<2> they don't have airconditioning... and had about 40 computers going...
<0> it's like 1.30am where you are right?
<2> on top of the 30+ heat today.
<2> 10:34pm.
<2> other coast.
<2> <-- vancouver, canada
<0> ahh..
<2> I'm sitting here listening to the neighbour's retarded daughter
<2> she likes to come out on her balcony and sing in this bubbling moaning manner and shaking her hands all over the place...
<0> record them, through the mic.. :)
<2> uhm... not sure how yet.
<2> I don't have access to my web sites' ftp anyways.
<0> was jk anyway..
<0> but the mic should be good to go..
<0> open a windows wav recorder thing..
<0> sound recorder
<0> i'm presuming it has a mic built right in.. mine does..
<2> I dunno.
<2> its a MMedia machine... with optional tv tuner
<2> winMCE
<2> I haven't had time to go over non-essential specs yet.
<2> I compared monitor/cpu/memory/hd speed and size
<0> yeah.. i usually don't bother about small things like that.. it was just something i learned about later
<0> test it anyway.. open sound recorder.. "HELLO WORLD!" ..
<2> nope not working.
<2> there is a mic port though.
<2> it has a subwoofer
<0> ahh..
<2> *laugh*
<2> oh did I tell you guys I got an interview for a job on tuesday
<2> a division of citi financial found my resume on monster.ca
<2> Primera Group
<2> kinda wierd having me being recruited :-)
<0> yeah, rarely have them coming to you.. :)
<2> well it changes once you have 5+ years of experience
<4> good morning
<2> brb
<2> back :-)
<2> hmmm where did everyone go?
<2> hi there
<2> just playing with my new lappy
<2> sitting out on the patio
<2> in the semi-dark
<1> i'm considering automating my setup file creation process
<2> man its nice out here... sooooo damn hot today.
<1> i automated my website.. but now i'm thinking it would be nice to add a new feature to a program.. run SiteGen.. change the version number and feature list in SiteGen.. click GO and have it create the setup file, update the website, create the pad file and send it to the 500 shareware sites.. boom!
<2> this pc has been on and charging for about 2 hours now...
<2> its still cold to the touch
<2> cmf: sounds like that might save you some time once its written.
<2> and you could sell it too.
<0> cmf: any chance of getting a hold of those 500 site URLs? :P..
<0> it doesn't affect your business to share the knowledge right? :D
<2> it shouldn't
<2> you're in different markets
<0> yup
<0> it's for freeware anyway here..
<2> I think its time I went inside...
<5> oh this is too damn col
<5> cool
<5> the fujitsu screen background is changing from day to nightime...
<5> the houses all have lights on and the stars are coming out in the sky
<5> k. good night.
<6> hi
<6> is there anything in delphi like messagedlg or showmessage but so it would ask for someting and user could enter it?
<6> inputbox
<6> thanx
<6> lol
<0> need to increase my slapping stats..
<7> hey
<8> hola
<9> hey larry
<10> hey Larry, Crc and Goony
<10> oh and TOndrej :)
<11> hi :-)
<9> howzit
<8> yo
<10> :)
<10> good enough
<10> working with Ikvm now
<10> basically that's a java -> .net bytecode converter
<8> ooo
<10> but the cl*** library included is gnucl*** path
<10> which means it's completely java
<10> in chrome:
<10> uses java.io;
<10> :)
<11> there's a fresh post on b.p.d.n-t about acquisition of Borland by Corel
<8> you mean, java bytecode -> .net bytecode?
<10> LordCrc: indeed
<8> ki9a: supafunk
<11> where does one go to check it? it's probably not indexed by google, which sites should I look at?
<10> TOndrej: google indexes quite often
<10> but there's also newswhat.com IIRC
<11> no, I wanted to see the original web site where the announcement comes from. The newsgroup post did not include a URL.
<10> ooh
<10> note that it's doubtful this will happen
<11> I think it's a joke.
