Post by: Ballast on December 25, 2008, 17:51:01
With Christmas running to it's end (for some, for some it's just started) the big question remains; was Santa good for you this year and what did you find under the Christmas tree  ;D

I got nada, zip, nothing.

Santa doesn't fit in my chimney I think, not unless he loses some serious weight.  ;D

But I did get myself a few new cymbals for my drumkit though and a bunch of stuff (parts) to refurbish a few of my older guitars, a few weeks ago.. As an early present.  :)

And I gave myself an upset stomach from eating too much.. I could have done without thát pressy, but it just tasted so good. Yum, I think I'm gonna check for leftovers, come to mention it.. the ache is almost gone now anyway...  :P

Title: Re: Was Santa good for you this year?
Post by: RMS Gigantic on December 27, 2008, 20:50:39
Nothing! the patent with the U.S. classification of 340540000, that being U.S. patent 11935438, is the patent for a scanning device with sensors and camera or tricorder, referring back to the idea of a tricorder in the post I was replying to.
Title: Re: Was Santa good for you this year?
Post by: TerryRussell on December 27, 2008, 21:41:36
Well, we've gone from Christmas presents to patents. That's probably getting a little too far off topic, isn't it?

Unless you add something Marmite-related, of course. That's a permitted wildcard.  :laugh:
Title: Re: Was Santa good for you this year?
Post by: RMS Gigantic on December 28, 2008, 00:34:52
You pulled a patent-related thing on another topic in response to mvsmith's post!

Marmite does not seem to have a patent, though....

Cool present even if you don't need it
Title: Re: Was Santa good for you this year?
Post by: Minime on January 07, 2009, 21:56:18
I know I need a 28 inch screen
Title: Re: Was Santa good for you this year?
Post by: TerryRussell on January 07, 2009, 22:08:06
I have three screens on my system here. It used to be two 21 inch and one 28 inch. Now its two 28 inch and one 21 inch. (took the other 21 inch screen to my other office today).

Why? Well, have you seen the images of SS Pro?

Also, I produce a lot of computer programs and do a huge amount of writting (books, magazine articles, web pages, systems fo rclients, etc) as part of my work. Having several large screens means that I can switch between things very easily.
