I had  bought a Toshiba T1800 laptop for $20 sometime ago and and totally forgot about it….

Hardware Specs

• 20 MHz Intel 386 SX, coprocessor socket;
  
• 2 MB standard RAM, expandable to 10 MB;
  
• LIM-EMS 4.0 support; 40 or 60 MB hard disk;
• 9.5″ STN monochrome screen with 64 grey scales

More info can be found here: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/products/notebooks/t1800/product.shtm

The laptop is in relatively good condition with the exception that the battery doesn’t hold a charge for very long…only about 15-20 mintues.

Here are some pics when I picked it up

The above shot makes me think the whole Y2k thing was abit overblown

Apparently Novell takes it’s hold music seriously and has a dedicated ‘radio station‘ playing the hold music. This even includes ‘traffic reports’ every ten minutes (which tells you how many people are in the ques and the longest wait times) and you can even make requests for songs you would like to hear).

Now what would make this even better is that after waiting on hold for 45 minutes listening to such hits as Bohemian Polka is if they didn’t pick up the phone and then hang up on you….

And if you really want to you can tune in online by downloading their flash player…

This is just kinda weird….basically they are bags that you put in your toaster to create the ‘authentic British Sandwich’, or toast pizzas, pitas etc…in…a…toaster……Now I don’t know about you…..shoving a pizza in my toaster would be like shoving my cat in a shoe box, it’s not really going to work..and I don’t see why I just wouldn’t use the oven….or get this crazy idea a ‘Toaster Oven’

But for those crazy chefs out there…check it out

Well it’s that time again…candy, dressing up as a ninja and drunken parties…For the artistic few that may read this…Home Depot is giving away free pumpkin carving templates.

Although this can’t compare though to the killer pumpkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This thing listens to GWAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like gadgets….but WHO needs a !@#$% USB humping dog??? Really who??

I came across a post with a pic of Kevin Mitnick’s Business Card…I’m curious if the lock picking tools actually work =)

Well at work lately the cleaners have been somewhat lax with cleaning the washroom….and there are a few individuals that we’ll say are a bit gross. To be honest there is nothing like the smell of raw sewage at 8:30AM when you’ve only had a few sips out of that first coffee…..Anyways this has caused us to create some creative washroom signs from ‘No Spitting in the sink’ to ‘No defecating on the toilet’…so when i came across this page of washroom signs I couldn’t help but giggle.

Well…I’ve finally decided to try to maintain a blog…I’ve attempted this a couple of times in the past but each time trying to reinvent the wheel by writing custom code. This time though I’ve decided to give wordpress a go.

I’ve heard it’s pretty good, has a lot of plug-ins and easily extensible…
