Awesome news Dusty!

Huge congrat Peter!

Most excellent, Dusty!

I went to the ENT doctor and had the wax removed from my ears. She dragged a blob of grossness that looked like a squashed horsefly from my right ear. Yuck!

I don't know how this affects my audiophile credibility, but my ears sound considerably upgraded.

I do believe that is the most epic contiguous subthread (other than one or two of my own) of congrats I've ever seen. Thank you all. :blush:

Yeah, I saw that. Alas, I don't have any high end knives. (Besides, it'll probably be a few weeks before I start getting paid and caught up with stuff.)

Congrats chalky dude!

Way to go Dusty!

echoing what I sent via text, congrats, I'm having a Sam Adams The Vixen in your honor tonight

I just got back from having dinner with a good friend from high school's little sister. When I used to hang around their house, I was 19 and she was 13, and we barely talked. Tonight we talked for about 3 hrs, and it was like we've been friends forever.

Congrats Dusty!

Did my first clean install of an OS in a very long time. Windows 7 64 bit on a hybrid sdd/hd is pretty snappy.

Bummer Jacob. Me, set up the S III which is a ridiculous phone in the best of ways.

Huge Peter congrat!

Uhm, you know what I meant.

Hope you feel better soon Reks.

Congrats Peter. Excellent work finding something this quickly in this market. We have been interviewing people here and it seems some have been looking forever.

Hope you feel better, Jacob.

And once more, with feeling: thanks guys! Don't I know it, Jeff. I honestly thought it was going to take a lot longer.

Do tell longer term impressions, that might be my next phone.

somehow dragged myself in to at 7, despite a migraine that started at about 10:30 last night and hasn't gone away. imitrex has blunted it, fortunately. hoping to go home as soon as my coworker gets in at 8:00.

Sorry to hear that reks. I've been going through a migraine patch and it sucks. Especially hard when you wake up with one. I also happen to hate imitrex and the other triptans. Feel better.

Just back, and too much to catch up on, but congrats, Dusty, and Carl, I hope you, Bonnie and cat are back in the pink.

Will do. Initial impressions are pretty stellar. The screen is excellent and the overall feel of the phone is very good. It's light in the hand, fits in a pocket well (better than the droid X despite being larger, due to thinness) and battery life has not been an issue today even though it has had to cycle through 4G/3G several times and even down to whatever verizon's edge network equivalent is and I just got done using it for a half-hour conference call. The 4G speeds are ridiculous, even though at best I get 2/5 bars here at the office.

Anyway, I'll give it a few weeks and see how the wow-factor holds up and report back.

^ what bandwidth is speedtest.net reporting?

I took a piss test today. I passed.

I do, indeed, still know how to piss, and if they graded on content, would probably have gotten 500%.

^ what bandwidth is speedtest.net reporting?

Not worth reporting from here at the office which is as near to a black-out zone as can be found around here. 1700 up/down is about the best I've seen which is a lot better than just 3G service speeds here.

Just catching up.

Congrats Peter and sorry about your migraine Jacob.

Got approved to travel to Sweden to present at a conference. I'm stoked because it is an important conference, my paper should open some good discussion, and my family is going to come with

Went to work. Came home. Went a LBS. Brought home a bike.
