[H]arls specific Items:
- No-Doze

I'll try and make a few extra network cables up at work before Thursday, because I guarantee someone will forget. :)
If anyone can think of something I missed speak up, or face the terrible vengeance of the wet towel.

[dice]

Heh, this nodoze stuff you go on about it... is it concentrated caffiene? :)

[KingJackal]

Food, or $s for food. You'll probably need $30-$60 for the 3 days ( if you're like me ) for food and drink.

Blank CD's. Cos there will be a lot of.... Linux distro's....

Windows CD. Trust me, when you need these, you REALLY need these....

Camera and film if it's not a digital one.

Large wooden board with favourite p1mp1ng slogan painted on sign, with high contrast for maximum market awareness. ( flashing neon lights are good too )

[whetu]

Toiletries:
toothbrush & toothpaste
canned shower (eg lynx)
soap (on a rope)
etc etc

i dont think it works as well as v or something does, i've found my eyes stay open, but i still feel like crap. with v or heaps of coke, concentration actually improves for a while.

what we need is some of the dodgy stuff ravers use....... :D

[p01s0n_p1e]

um, on my list..let me think

laptop for in drive entertainment (ok so what if it has a huge crack down the screen..it can still be used for mp3's) sadly, after 3 years, my laptop can finally be classed as bung :(. the battery is refusing to charge. she was a beut that laptop, and couldnt get better for $150 specs off the top of my head p2 233mhz, mmx(ahh mmx, those were the days :)) 6gig hdd, 2meg unaccelerated graphics, 10/100 NIC- played quake 2 like a beut.
now..sent to the depths of the setidrone, thats like cpu heaven, 100% usage, 100% of the time, with no interruptions
lollies for me/h0nky/nna2m/nna2m'sdad/nna2m'sbrother/thatvolod-fag (:D)
laser pointer for ultimate annoyance of pedestrians
fraz's mobo (auckland peeps who know fraz well, please pm me)
backup celeron cpu+socket 370 mobo
backup cpu cooling should the worst happen
trustee screwdriver (this thing is like GOD when it comes to taking cases apart)
inflatable sex toy (female model)
chingching-blingbling ("money" for the non pimps)


[H]arls specific Items:
- Pants
nah you wont be needing those....

[h0nky]

haha, this thread cracks me up. and it could get very dodgy very soon.
there is mention: vet lube, harls pantless, soap on a rope (thank the sweet lord its on a rope), pimps, non pimps, p1mp1ng, terrible vengeance of the wet towel, bribes, whores, deviants house, inflateable sex toy, lollies, fag, screw and celeron. oh and back up. :eek:

cant wait to see it bubble to the surface.

anyway, enlighted so-far i think it would also be good for each of us to have a list of what WE each are bringing and tick it off before we leave out houses. ill forget something no doubt. i always do. :p

[whetu]

fraz's mobo (auckland peeps who know fraz well, please pm me)

I know fraz, stick with me and I'll point him out for ya... after that leave me the hell alone ;)

[dice]

Heh, I want to get an inflatable sheep. where can I get one?

[SecretSquirrel]

Also, chocolate appendages!! [munch]

[Grrr!!]

The Lotto shop in Masterton sells them ... just ask the guy behind the counter (we got one for an exchange student friend).

[dice]

Heh, I was born in Masterton...
Don't suppose you have a picture of it?
If you pass thru it on the way to 'nox I would gladly pay you back. :) Don't s'pose you have a pic? :D

[varkk]

Originally posted by dice

well that certainly explains a few things...

Anyway, I think some friends bought one for a mate as a wedding present, I am pretty sure they got it from peaches and cream, they have a website, although I'm sure Auckland has no shortage of similar shops.

[Grrr!!]

Dice ... I'm not going to the 'nox ... my P75 and C366 just ain't good enough.

[CmdrChris]

I don't think USB has enough power to do intense things like charging a battery.

The nokia phones have USB Chargers. they are about $20 from DSE..

[dice]

In this month's Atomic they have a review on a USB charger that works for Nokia's and the other two most common phones. :)

[TheCrow]

Damn it cant get hold of any utp cable up to 10m, all the places i've rung up said there outta stock. :mad:

[whetu]

dont worry crow.. someone (harls?) is making up some, and i've got a few joiners and several cables, so just bring the longest you've got

[dice]

I'm going to DSE to get that sort of stuff tomorrow. :)

[whetu]

dse? hmmmm

dse - 10m cat5e - $22
jaycar 10m cat5e - $18

get yourself a burger with the change ;)

[[H]arls]

I have a few cables, one for crow, one in case pieboy cant find his, and a few smaller ones about 6m each, plus a crossover adapter, just in case ;)

I doubt everyone will be exactly 10meters from a switch, so we can mix cables around each other to reach.

Theres a point - everyone put a piece of tape around your cables with your name on it, or have some way to identify it. Its going to be electrical spaghetti in there.

[TheCrow]

Yeah my longest one is 5m, and that was fine for A3 so ill bring it, but if its not long enough ill use one of your spare ones.

[Smudge]

or u could do it the even cheaper way

if ya want ill take my crimper up

~ $0.70 x2 for the plugs
~$0.50m for cable & i can make them up up there if ya want

[dustyslapper]

Just think - on staff it's probably worth about $2.80 for 10 metres.

[dice]

Meh...
I needed a cheap working mouse for EQX until I can save up for the MX700 and their cheapest mouse was $28 :mad: but I guess I can give it to my Mum when I save up enough for a decent one.
I bought the 10 metre cord for $22... I s'pose it isn't too bad, as it should last a while...
Actually, ****! I just realised I got charged more than I should of! Those bastards owe me $10! I must go see them tomorrow...

[ktulu]

I'll be taking a crimper/etc up... someone will have to help me though, I can never remember the order of the colours :D

Not quite, but if you remember back several L3's, I used to sell 10m cables for $8..... ;) ( factory built ones, too )

[whetu]

i've got some pics on my comp that show the suggested order for both straight through and crossover

[MadMax]

So if I needed to buy a 10m cable in Wellington (or preferably LH aread... but that's not necessary), where is the best place to go?

I only have crossover cables here..

[[H]arls]

Im slightly worried by the fact that I seem to be the only 'noxer whoring the forums, and there are very few others on both here and on instant messengers...

I really think I better go do some packing or something. :)

[Smudge]

[H]arls, it looks like its only us2
is there something on we dont know about?
mirc's dead as well

guess not every1 has a comp 2 whore from :) shipped my computer up about 3pm :( i miss it already

[MadMax]

Sif you need to pack already :P

[fatsanchez]

i intend to book a reasonably cheap motel room in albany tomorrow, anyone willing to pay a reasonable sum ($1/min :p ) for a private bathroom/shower :D

[TheCrow]

lol i havent started packing yet either

[sIg]

MadMAx jaycar on kent or cambridge terace (cant remember which one) on the embassy side tho

[-DC-]

hmmm... should get packing tomorrow night :p i need to find a bag big enough :D

[MadMax]

Cheers Sig :)

[Grrr!!]

What does one of those crimping tools cost?

[-DC-]

bah, the shortest cable i have over 10m is about 15-20 m log :D

[Smudge]

crimpers are $25 4****ty plastic ones, i think i paid $60 for my metal last 4 ever ones

[fatsanchez]
