Awesome, in which case we need to decide on a date, and then force polly to take time off.

vslayer. am i taking a HDD off your hands?

by **pollywog** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 12:11 am UTC

So, uh, what's the plan? I have to be in Nelson over the easter weekend, but I'll be heading up to Wellington to see some friends and my sister a week or two after that.

by **Dagnaru** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 12:44 am UTC

Still havent sent the harddrive sorry guys, Been moving house this weekend and works been hectic as, should have it in the mail on tuesday to vslayer. Cant do easter weekend meetup anymore, no matter where it is, family things to do.

by **Gojoe** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 3:29 am UTC

vslayer came around and gave me a 1TB harddrive
I will fill it up with stuff, and send it to jack sometime.

by **Tidia** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 11:48 pm UTC

Any meetup over Easter won't work for me either... this HDD thing looks like fun, how long until someone does a practical joke with it?

by **vslayer** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:32 am UTC

dont worry, qojoe and i have that aspect covered.

by **Gojoe** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:36 am UTC

I am claiming to not know anything about this....

by **Dagnaru** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:12 am UTC

The 500g is on the way back down to vslayer, sent it today. Ill probably pass on the 1 tb if it comes round in the next month or so, i need to buy an internal before itll be of any use. I only have 250g in my system so its kinda pointless. Basically, even if it does come to me, dont worry about allocating any space for me, i can gayrantee i have nothing to put in it.

by **vslayer** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:07 pm UTC

yea, i need a new harddrive or two aswell, im hoping that my new one beats yours down here so i dont have to hold everything up too long.

by **vslayer** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:24 am UTC

ITS ON!!! just confirmed it, i have the week leading up to the 13th off. polly, take some time off work.

by **pollywog** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:54 am UTC

13th of April? I can't get that off. That's Easter.

A holiday is possibly the hardest time to get off work if you're set to be working or covering for somebody already. Even if it were possible for pollywog to get it off s/he said s/he'd be away Easter Weekend.

by **Gojoe** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 11:39 am UTC

What about the week leading up to it starting on the 6th.

by **vslayer** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 3:16 pm UTC

yea, thats what i meant, im off the 6th-13th, just didnt have a calendar handy to figure out whether it was the 6th or not.

by **Gojoe** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 3:21 pm UTC

Dude, go to sleep!

by **Jack Saladin** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 7:27 pm UTC

For all meetupy and harddrivey things: I will not be around the forums so much, but half of y'all know where to find me on IRC. Send addresses to me through there or something in future.

i wish. i was just getting up for work when i posted that.

by **pollywog** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:42 am UTC

I can't get time off work the week before easter, cos it's hell of busy, and the 4 days i get off over Easter are going to be consumed by sex, drugs and rock and roll.

by **Gojoe** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 7:47 am UTC

OK, so the TB harddrive is being filled with my stuff now. (I got half way through the D's of movies) I will pick and choose some tv shows. I will send it to Jack tomorrow.

by **Gojoe** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 1:16 am UTC

I have held on to this HDD so I could combine the two. This is happeneing now (my stuff has combined, just copying over everyones elses.

Also Dag... I am a DDR addict... if I can get my xbox konami pad to work on my computer, I am never leaving my house again. My girlfriend hates you.

If you have stuff to add to the HDD, where abouts in the country are you? So we can figure out where on the list you should be added.

Speaking of which, the coping should all be done... and my portion is too big again

I am going to shrink it down, and then send it to Jack today.

by **Gojoe** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:32 pm UTC

Jack is sending it to he sent it to last time (i think that is dag... he said he didnt want it.. but tough shit, take it, and add what you can)

by **TunezNZ** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:19 am UTC

Can I join in for one pit stop, I'm in Auckland and have a large amount of movies, music and wallpapers.

by **Gojoe** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:25 am UTC

Now would be a good time to join in actually, as the HDD is in the north island ATM. I will tell jack.
PM me your address

by **TunezNZ** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 10:27 am UTC

by **Gojoe** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 11:20 pm UTC

Pretty sure the next person on the list was Dag. Dag, PM me your address please.

by **mickyj300x** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:41 am UTC

Right, I'm just here because Gojoe sent me here. I would just like to say I can not manage the travel at all.

by **Gojoe** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:52 am UTC

Where abouts in the country are you micky? We have the worlds largest sneakernet set up going on.

by **mickyj300x** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 10:57 pm UTC

Way down in Scot country (Dunedin). It'd have to be a weekend, and I'd have to talk my parents into letting me go with a bunch of strangers I met over the internet to the other end of the island for the weekend. Yeah...

by **Gojoe** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:00 pm UTC

Well the sneaker net that is going on is neat. We have a HDD full of media that we send between each other. Each person adds to the list. And then sends it to the next person. We have 1TB hdd being sent around the place.

by **mickyj300x** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:27 pm UTC

Cool. I'd have to find some media first, though...

by **vslayer** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 2:23 am UTC

hmm, if it gets down to dunedin you can drop it off to my brother when done and get him to send it back up. that adds 2 more peoples.

by **mickyj300x** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:00 am UTC

What suburb does he live in? and on another note, is there anything people would like in particular?

by **Gojoe** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:05 am UTC

Jack has got anime covered. I have most current geek shows under control (like chuck etc). Dag has a shit ton dance dance revolution on it

Next time the drive comes around here I will put on the list of everything i have access to.

by **mickyj300x** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:08 am UTC

In that case, I'll do music shall I? I can get lots of old-school rock, and maybe some classical if I can figure out how to rip audio from video. On another note, is there anyone in this thread that can play an instrument/ read sheet music?

by **Gojoe** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:12 am UTC

I can read sheet music. Don't really play anything anymore. I am learning harmonica atm, but using tabs, not sheet music (but I am fluent in sheet music)

by **mickyj300x** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:42 am UTC

Alright then, I'm downloading a large amount of legal (and otherwise) sheet music, and it's kind of fascinating to look at.

by **vslayer** » Mon May 11, 2009 2:05 am UTC

okay, from the 20th of may to the end of july i have every weekend off plus 3 weeks of holiday leave to be taken at a moments notice. how does that coincide with the rest of you? lets plan something.

ps, where are we with that harddrive? i will need to purchase another TB before that gets back here.

by **Gojoe** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:04 am UTC

Jack just sent it to tunenz, who will in turn send it to micky, who will send it back to chch

Who is online
