Re: Re: o/t

Oh yeah, I do remember seeing this one. Blubber flying everywhere. The beach was totally soaked in blood and guts.

I am not into death, or mutiliation, but g0d-damn that shit is funny.

I saw it as one of those "funny clips" type programs. I don't know if it's online at all, and since I'm barbequeing brats right now, I don't care to look.

What is a lockboard?
What happens with the locksmithing festivities?
Havent ventured to defcon yet, plan to this summer, if I can scrounge up the bones.

Nothing like good old fashioned family fun. "C'mon kids, they're blowin' up a whale!"

WTF? An on topic post in a semi-on-topic thread, which has degenerated off topic.... I'm confused.

[orbital]

and you just confused me :)
Sorry I saw such derangements, and figured I am allowed to derange as well.

Is this a sort of nazi on-subject board?

[Grifter]

Board

This is the kind of board that stays on topic for about the first ten posts. From there, who knows.

Oh yeah, but we're all having fun.

I think people don't like creating new threads in phear of being rejected... I could be wrong, please don't reject me. ;)

Rejection

Hey we're all geeks here. Rejection should be something we're used to by now.

**sobs**

Even us girl geeks. "Sorry, computers just aren't my thing" is something I've heard more than once lately. And people don't believe that I'm serious when I tell them I'm dating my network. ;)

phoo

What I'm brining

Looks like I"m late the the party as usual, but here's a partial list of what I'm brining. In the past I realized I brought WAY too much stuff. This year I hope to bring far less but still be effective:

- 750 MHz Sony Vaio Z505LS ultralight w/ triple capacity battery. OpenBSD -current. 256 MB RAM, 802.11b, etc. etc.
- Yaesu VX5r w/ MODS (that is, unless Tyger gets her ticket, in which case I will look into the new and sexy vx7). I will skip on brining the FT-90 50W 2m/440 mobile and power supply. ;)
- FRS radio for shits n' giggles. Earbuds for both radios.
- Grundig portable shortwave radio with retractable antenna (works great as a travel alarm clock!
- as much radio gear as I can possibly shovel into a suitcase and get away with.
- FREQUENCY GUIDES. ;) Maybe I will publish one before the con of some good Vegas freqs. and other general stuff? Anyone else find this interesting?
- Bearcat scanner that picks up 30 MHz to 50 Mhz w/o mods. ;)
- hub of some sort or another
- Tons o' cat 5
- SUNGLASSES
- SUNSCREEN (AP will charge you $10 for a bottle of the decent stuff)
- A token Domo-Kun
- tons of clothes. Extra undies and socks.
- BRING SANDALS. They will keep your feet cool. Besides, you do NOT want to walk around barefoot during the day.
- Bring a bathing suit.
- Leatherman (but store it in your main suitcase, not on your person for cryin' out loud (if you're flying at least))
- Smokes (if you smoke)
- Maybe an 802.11b WAP
- Plenty of free new mix CDs for everyone and Froggystyle stickers!
- Plenty of other stickers for sale.
- Digital camera! (Sony DSC-1)
- Digital video camera for shits n' giggles
- Extra Hi8 tape!
- Herbs and vitamins to keep me going. Probably a mix of Ma Huang, Kola nut and Guarana. Mmm... I should be bouncing off of the walls. :)
- A handful of change in case things get tight
- A hat. Preferably something geeky
- A swank outfit for the black and white ball. If I decide not to get creative, I will probably bring the Men in Black suit I was wearing last year. (You may remember me. Totally black suit, stark white shirt, earbud, dark sunglasses, no smiles, 250 pounds on a 6 foot frame)
- A sharpie marker (Don't ask questions, just bring one)
- calling cards/business cards

More importantly, THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME if you're flying:

- Anything in a pressurized canister. This includes lighter fluid, mace, pepper spray, etc. Small lighters are exempt. Leave the rest at home
- Glass. Just don't do it.

I noticed a lot of folks here are brining comms and we should maybe set up a new thread to talk about that a little more. I know one things for certain, anyone transmitting shit music on FRS 1 will definitely get a boot in their ass if we manage to triangulate you.

ACK!... don't you wish that IRL there was a /kick command? I have learned that speaking to these types of ppl isn't often the most beneficial.

I do, I think either you or someone else mentioned they were compiling a freq-guide for LV. All my scanner books are outdated, as well as the freq books that they have at the con, I forgot the guy who sells them for a grip..
