So I just checked, and, uh, you are one of the two who haven't sent.

Hey guys. I'm in New York today visiting a few of our sites.  It's a day away from the chaos.

And you didn't think to come say hi.    :-[  :-\  :'(  :lol

That's being far too generous.

Fill half a jar with shit, the other half with salt. Mix well. Spread on toast.

That's Vegemite.

John, I was in Gloversville and Johnstown.  Far, far away from anything hip.  I did drive through Albany.

Just got home.  Recliner time.

Ah yeah. I hate when you make a meal so delicious that you don't actually want to finish it.

Same when you go out to a restaurant and it's so good but not quite a satisfying portion.

BlobVanDam

My new monitor arrived today. :D I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks beautiful. I can't wait to set it up and try it.

Kotowboy

:clap:


I've got a full day today. Short shift tomorrow then off Sunday  :laugh:

Plus i have a whole 8 paid days off over Christmas.

I'm gonna sleep so much  ;D ;D

BlobVanDam

8 days. That's a sweet vacation. :hat

And I know a thing or two about long vacations. :blob:

Nefarius

Only five more days of work for me this year, not counting today. :tup

A new challenger appears! Hey Nef.

Nefarius

Well, it's been an unusually slow December so far and I'm officially bored. :biggrin:

Greetings...
Nef

BlobVanDam

Well if it's official, then I advise you stick around a while. :biggrin:


Nefarius

Slow as you've already read all new posts on your forums and seen all the new stupid pictures on the web and it's just past noon.

Greetings...

BlobVanDam

It's summer with no a/c and too hot in my room to use my main PC (and waiting to set up and try out my new monitor). I'm bored as hell confined to my laptop. Got nothing to do.

You know you've run out of imagination when you can get bored of being able to access any piece of information in the world. :lol

Nefarius

A good old 21" 1600x1200 Eizo here at work, at least boredom comes in pretty and consistent colors. :lol

Cool, we're Eizo buddies! :tup I just got an Eizo CS240 (24" 1920x1200 AH-IPS). I just set it up, so I'm still adjusting to it. Haven't even calibrated it yet. First impressions are that the size is perfect, I don't need to adjust the text size. I was hoping the blacks would be a little deeper, but I knew that IPS didn't have the best black level, and I'm coming off a CRT here, so I'm used to good blacks. No dead pixels, consistency looks great, colour temperature is warmer than I'm used to, but I knew I always had my colour temp too cold in the past, so this looks more neutral. Refresh rate is better than I expected.
The only disappointment is that it only came with some awful micro Displayport cable, which I can't use because my PC has a real Displayport port, so I'm stuck with DVI until I can buy another cable. Not a big deal, but 10 bit colour will have to wait for another day.

You can't be sick for your holiday time. That would suck!

Morning guys.

I'm already here but luckily I don't have to travel far, just a few stops further into Brooklyn so I'll take my sweet ass time going there.

Nefarius

Well, December 18th is my last day this year and I will be back at work on January 7th, so nothing to complain here.

Probably just something I ate last night. Felt a bit better after being sick.

Morning, all.

No more vacations for me this year, but tonight Mrs. P and I are spending the night up-town to do some Christmasing. Looking forward to that, at least.

Not going anywhere, I'm not the going away vacation type.
I rather stay at home and enjoy music toys, computer toys, or toy toys to play with.
And buy some new ones, hopefully.
