My ex-girlfriend's old laptop. She has one of these MacBook Pro i7 15" thingies now.
I could buy this for a nice price :).
It's pretty knackered. Runs beautifully, but the screen hinges are broken, it only has 1GB of memory and Wlan isn't working. Needs some attention, but It'll be as new soon :)
(original) Specs:
Intel T2130 Core2duo 2x1,86ghz
15,4" Screen
2GB DDR2 SDram
120GB HD
ATI Mobility Radeon x2300
Firewire, Wlan, Cardreader.

And this. Most expensive tapedispenser ever, but I love it.
Got it from my ex-girlfriend for Christmas.
Bought here a CD (The Bees - Sunshine hit me), an LP (Pink Floyd - The Wall) and some brilliant little bookmarks with images of mini's (the car) on it. She loves reading, she loves mini's and she completely fell in love with the bookmarks when she saw them in a store (same store the tape dispenser was in). So it was a no brainer, really :)

Nice. Bit white for me, but that's because I'm a big (read: fat) guy already :D.

Yeah i'm usually used to wearing black band tees, but i think the white version of this tee looks best.

Yes he did. That's what us designers do.

I guess it's a bit unconventional to see Fonts as something people buy. But strangely enough I can see it becoming a hobby of mine.

It's not really any different from buying software if you think about.

I can't really imagine it being something I'd do as a hobby, but I do it for work pretty often. In fact there's one I have to buy tomorrow.

Well, true, but I mentioned somewhere I'm addicted to stationery, so I can probably see myself liking it. But, it definitely will be weird to buy it unless I need it =/

Yup! It's a great time. I'm a font fanatic. I decided to pick up some Sans Serif fonts today. I went Serif crazy.

Got myself a new car radio.
Had this one for a long time:

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pi...-P5000_big.jpg
Great radio, but I figured SD would be a lot easier for me than MD.
Sound quality of a properly encoded mp3 is just as good and I really couldn't find the time to sort out all my car MD's.
It's got line in and a USB connection too, which is nice.
Not too ugly compared to other new radio's.
Most important, it sounds great. Lot better than my (not bad at all!) previous radio.
So I'm happy with it :)

That looks pretty sweet, how much was it? It's probably worth more than my car haha. Thinking about getting a new car stereo myself, my current one is the car's original and i have to use a cassette adapter to listen to my ipod. One of my speakers is also blown so i might replace them soon as well.

s_k 01-29-2011 04:12 PM

Not so expensive. It was 149 euro's, which is about 128 pounds.
My car is worth about 850 pounds here ;)

Zer0 01-29-2011 04:22 PM

149 euro isn't too bad i guess. Kinda looking for a good one in around the 70-100 euro range. I presume that one has a removable facade?

s_k 01-29-2011 04:26 PM

It has.
You can just about buy any radio in this range. It's pretty good.
The 4200 is mainly the same only with a more simple display.
I reckon you should be able to find that four about 100 quid.
You'll still have SD, USB, Line in. It's just a bit more ugly and a bit more simple.
Same amplifier, should sound the same.

Please note: MEH-4200SD is not the same as MEH-4200BT.
The SD has an SD card, the BT has Bluetooth. Pioneer has no radio with both for a reasonable price.
Believe me, I've tried.

Zer0 01-29-2011 04:38 PM

I don't really care much about looks, as long as it sounds good, plays CDs well and has a USB connection. I must keep an eye out for a Pioneer at a good price.

s_k 01-29-2011 06:56 PM

Allright
http://www.xtremeaudio1.com/uploads/...deh_1200UB.jpg
DEH-1200UB.
It's good
It's cheap (about 60-70 quid)
Get it before the world ends :D

Cyan! I'm not sure how I've never seen this one yet.

New glasses. The old ones are knackered.

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...erig/bril1.jpg
There you go. Bit strange as my glasses aren't in there yet. This is just transparent plastic.
I'm going to pick it up in a couple of days.
My eyes actually got a lot better. Nice :)

DVD writer. Mine died and as these things only cost 20 euro's I picked one up tonight.
Brilliant man behind the counter. Couldn't find the device in the computer. First thing he said was "Compu'ah says noooo".

yes it's just you, I always thought that was a stupid symbol to represent a gym.

A muscled bound guy straining to lift some weights. Oh great I really want to go to THAT gym.

I bought a new PC finilly after 20 years!!!!

20 years... That would mean your previous PC would be from 1991.
No way ;).

Really?? What kind of a PC was it and what OS did it have?

I still have a 15 year old Gateway 2000 PC with Windows 95 in the corner of my room that i like to mess around with sometimes. It's working fine except whenever you turn it on you have to go through setup and it resets the date to the 1st January 1996.

s_k 02-12-2011 03:30 PM

Put a new data hold accu on the mainboard (80p or so) and it'll be fine :)
