«Michael (foof) Maki» Half-day today! Yippee skippee! (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:28am) «zil» my lovey comes back from scotland today!!!!! *dance of joy!* (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:32am) «jaye» evil new desk. bah. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:45am) «Michael (foof) Maki» why new desk? (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:46am) «jaye» new team = new desk (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:47am) «jaye» and i understand. i'd kill if i had to leave my desk. i have the best one in the unit (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:47am) «Michael (foof) Maki» aha. My desk is pretty much the same as every desk on this floor...with the exception of the 4 executives' admins. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:48am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I still haven't even really moved in. Dogbert and my computer's hat aren't even here yet. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:49am) «jaye» well, the desks are pretty much the same - but i have one of the best locations (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:49am) «jaye» i sit next to my boss. which, sounds bad. but my screen is turned away from her, so it always looks like i'm working, even if i'm here or on email. plus, i get (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:51am) «jaye» to know all the dirt in the unit before everyone else, because those supervisor walls do not work . .heehee (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:51am) «jaye» and now i better go. bye wall! (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Oh, your supervisor is in a CUBE?! That's too funny. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Josh Woodward» every employee of Yahoo!, even the big boys, are in cubes.. :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:15am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Josh: Yeah, Amex was starting to do that, too, when I left. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:27am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...if I'd stayed in Minneapolis, my cube would have been the same size as my boss' cube (who was a VP) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:27am) «Michael (foof) Maki» he got wood fixtures, as opposed to my laminate, tho. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:27am) «lawrence» is that a good thing or a bad thing, though? (i.e. did he have a big cube or did you have a small cube? :) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:27am) «Michael (foof) Maki» <shrug> it was a good-sized cube, don't recall its measurements, off hand. It was bigger than his office was. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:30am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...of course, amex stuffed the lower-level execs into TEENSY officed... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:31am) «Josh Woodward» it's amusing to see the pig sty David Filo's cube is.. it even smells bad.. heh (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:31am) «lawrence» I still think I'd rather be in a tiny little office than a cube. privacy is a good thing... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:32am) «Josh Woodward» i don't mind cubes as long as you have your own and you're facing the entrance.. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:33am) «lawrence» our boss wanted an "open" look, so the cubes have pretty low walls on the side that people walk by. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:34am) «lawrence» and he always comes in and hovers. "What are you doing? What are you doing *now*?" (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:34am) «Josh Woodward» ah, that would really suck. our walls are around 6 feet.. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:34am) «lawrence» niiiice. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:35am) «lawrence» of course, what we have now *is* better than what he originally proposed - long tables. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:35am) «lawrence» he wanted it to be completely open, with no privacy at all. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:35am) «Josh Woodward» "yeeeahhh, did you get the memo about the TPS reports? yeahhh, i'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to come on in this Saturday, yeahhh." (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:36am) «Josh Woodward» you're a programmer, right? i'd hate to have no privacy as a programmer, distractions kill my progress.. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:37am) «lawrence» well, that, and I'd not be able to listen to music, or do *anything* non-work related, even briefly. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:38am) «Josh Woodward» that would be suck. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:38am) «lawrence» it would be a totally restrictive environment, and I (and most of my coworkers probably) would hate it and be really uncomfortable. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:38am) «Josh Woodward» at which point you bring in a laptop, a really long ethernet cord, and tell your coworkers that you'll be in the third stall next to the urinals.. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:39am) «lawrence» hehe (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:40am) «lawrence» wireless. :) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:40am) «Josh Woodward» ooh :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:40am) «lawrence» the worst thing is that because I'm behind a firewall at home, too, I can't set up XWin32 and work from home... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:41am) «Josh Woodward» ok, working outside would rule. we're about to move offices to right next to the bay. mmm :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:41am) «lawrence» I'd do that *now* if I could. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:41am) «Josh Woodward» yeah, we're all freebsd-based, which makes stuff like that easy.. hmm, i was considering buying a new laptop anyway, i wonder the range of the wireless stuff.. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:42am) «Josh Woodward» too bad ricochet looks like they're going under.. they had what sounded like a good service (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:42am) «Michael (foof) Maki» hey, Rob! (Mar 22, 2001 @ 10:59am) «Jason Reiser» you mean like 802.11 wireless, Josh? (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:00am) «Misch» ssh would/should work for ya... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:00am) «Jason Reiser» /me is probably going to get a Linksys 802.11 wireless setup. I'm hoping I can get range from the 23rd floor down to the courtyard outside. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:01am) «Misch» with a good antenna, you should be able to get a range of 2 km with wireless. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:02am) «Jason Reiser» /me checks his mail... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:04am) «Michael (foof) Maki» 2 km?! Yeesh. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:04am) «Jason Reiser» 802.11 doesn't do very well through walls and such though. Fortunately I have line-of-sight to the courtyard. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:05am) «Misch» hmmm... I might be thinking of a different protocol then. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:06am) «Misch» i thought it was discussed on ./ recently. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:07am) «Misch» err... /. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:08am) «Jason Reiser» I'm talking about the 11MB wireless - like these: http://www.us.buy.com/retail/computers/category.asp?loc=10996 (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:08am) «Jason Reiser» "/." = "Slashdot"; "./" = "Here" = "Fruhead.com" (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:09am) «Misch» Thank you Jason :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:10am) «Jason Reiser» we have some of the 11MB wireless in a building at work. On floors that have a datacenter in the middle, we've needed as many as *3* receivers on one floor. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:10am) «Misch» ouch. You would think RIT would have a nice campus wide wireless network... but noooo... only the Library has one. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:11am) «Misch» instead, we have bluejacks located jsut about everywhere on campus.... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:11am) «Misch» /me laughs at today's Userfriendly.cog cartoon :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:12am) «Jason Reiser» that's pretty good though. The wireless is still pretty expensive, and the technology is new. The receivers dropped from $100 to $250 in the last 9 months. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:12am) «Jason Reiser» make that $1000 to $250 (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:13am) «Michael (foof) Maki» bluejacks? (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:13am) «Michael (foof) Maki» paul: ??? (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:14am) «Misch» Rj-45 ports... your standard ethernet cable jacks... (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:14am) «Michael (foof) Maki» aha (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:15am) «Jason Reiser» but these are blue ones! (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:16am) «Misch» right... RIT's its uses blue jacks, (or blue dots when the jacks are facing the ground) to denote which ones _should_ be live. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:17am) «Misch» err... ITS. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:17am) «Misch» Hey Rachel... how did the audio documentary go? (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:21am) «Misch» Well... hmm... I was the first person running the raffle... I won the Dave-o jigsaw puzzle, and I was standing right next to you when you won your prize. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:26am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rachel: Yeah, that's him. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:36am) «Misch» *ding* :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:50am) «Misch» I have been spotted... I need to leave the country :-) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:50am) «Andrea Krause» michael, my supervisor is in a cube as well...as have all my old ones...many many many levels in a company like this. :) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:54am) «Andrea Krause» I'm all jumpy now, because I'm so exposed. What's that keycombo for quick minimizing? :) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:55am) «Misch» There isn't one. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:59am) «Misch» (in windoze at least) (Mar 22, 2001 @ 11:59am) «Misch» Lunhc time! *poof* (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:03pm) «Andrea Krause» I thought someone mentioned one here a long time ago. ah well. bleh (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:03pm) «Andrea Krause» ah yes, Josh. ctrl-esc and then alt-m and everything goes down. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:04pm) «jaye» they lied. it happens. (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:05pm) «Bender» heya (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:07pm) «jaye» /me just abuses alt-tab (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:07pm) «Paul D. Beasi» Windows-M, also (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:08pm) «Paul D. Beasi» minimizes everything (Mar 22, 2001 @ 12:08pm) «renita» PAUL is on the wall!!!
