Weven: Let's all be honest

That's just surreal. It's an OS. Who the hell cares? 17 people? Who the hell goes to a party themed around an OS release, unless you're one of the creators of the OS? Oh well, I guess it's an excuse to drink other peoples' beer!

Yea, I would guess that's the real reason ... that ... and the free Windows stuff.

The only part of that that's piqued my interest is that someone finally selling a panel with a resolution between 1920x1200 and 2560x1600; even if IMO 2304/1440 would have been a more logical slot to insert an in between size; or if 16:9 was an absolute requirement something around 2304/1296. NTM that as a company that supports content producers apple should be selling 16:10's. The reason PC widescreens were 16:10 at the same time that TV was going 16:9 was so that the video editor types could view stuff at full width and still have room for all their toolbars, etc on either side of the clip.
The latest nation. Procrastination.

Yes, I'm here at work, with my head on my desk, weeping at the cruel injustice of the world, where I am inviteless at Weven's coming out party. Truly there is no more sad soul than mine on this beautiful NYC day.

Bah, it's not THAT nice out... (Trying to justify sitting around in my office in midtown instead of enjoying the day) Anyway... I'd probably go to a Weven party, just because I have absolutely nothing better to do, and need something to laugh at... I need to laugh all I can now, because my free upgrade is coming in a couple weeks.

How you'd score the free upgrade?

Bought a new quad-core rig a couple months ago with Vista preinstalled... It bluescreens at least once a day, dumps out of games on a regular basis, and sometimes brings itself up from hibernate mode in the middle of the night. And I haven't even installed a development environment or all of my other crap yet... All it has is Steam and Impulse with some games, and Firefox (Still using my XP box for everything else for the moment).

How many of you are holding (perhaps secretly, so as not to embarrass yourself) a Windows 7 launch party? C'mon, I know you're out there. Somewhere. Secretly lusting after the goodness in Weven, and salivating at the thought of being able to foist its moist chewy goodness (like a cake!) on your unsuspecting friends!

but when it was announced, I realized I would have to actually clean my house... And I wasn't sure if I really wanted a bunch of people I didn't know in my newly cleaned house... As it turns out, I ended up cleaning it anyway but I still don't want people I don't know (and probably don't want to know) in my house.

They didn't hold a launch event in my town. They did for Vista, Office 2007, VS 2005 and VS 2008 and all were packed, so I don't understand the resistance.

I applied to host one. Not because I was actually going to host one, but because they send you a free copy of Win7 ultimate. I got rejected. I wonder if somehow they knew. :laugh:

A co-worker has one. She got a free 7 copy (good one at that) and stuff for a party. The only requirement is that 7 be shown during the party. So she and her husband now have an excuse to throw a party and supplies. Their PCs will be turned on so we can look at 7 while watching movies, eating and generally being foolish. I shouldn't say we, I couldn't find a sitter. :(

We wore bathing suits in the hot tub for the first time ever in our hot tub in over 5 years last sunday when we had a guest over who was not comfortable with her nudity. I felt very chivalrous and "confined". We'll turn her around some day. ;)

Many, many years ago in a browser far, far away (NetScape) a friend of mine found an **ahem** interesting chat room. One evening one of the young ladies asked him if he was a SALMON. As he was telling me about this escapade, I immediately quipped "Ah", "Sad And Lonely Man On t'Net" (laughs all round), but it turned out that it referred to the practice of wrapping smoked salmon round a certain part of the male anatomy before ..... well, you know. :-O Why they though this was a good thing to do, I know not. Perhaps they were practising to become lesbians and were trying to acquire a taste for it. :-D

When by "launch party", you mean "get a new computer, Install W7, try to import the old OS into a VM, move or reinstall W7 on the original OS's disk, try to revive one of the graphics cards I have around here, run some performance tests on the new box, consider potential upgrades, and generally much around with computer stuff" then yes, I will hold one glorious launch party.

They probably checked facebook if you actually have any friends at all.

No, but how about an H1N1 party?
