Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
It's that time again. Woot-off

I got a uniden cordless phone with an extra handset and it works great.
The "I want one!" button, instead of a simple "BUY" button is what does it, I think.
It's not a question of if you're willing to purchase the item, just simply, do you want it?
you're right, once I got to the paying screen I was like" wtf am I doing this is $150"
I am a freaking nerd.
I got an insulated beverage mug too . . . along with a day planner and a USB security key that prevents access to a computer if it's not plugged in. Also a really neat whistle that has lights all over it. I tossed everything but the mug and the whistle.
:winky:
A Roomba.
Do Roombas actually work well? Or do they just kind of putz around and not clean anything? I've never seen one in action.
The robotic bits of it work really well. I saw one of the head guys at iRobot (the makers of roomba) give a lecture on the practical applications of robotics in everyday life at a robotics thing I went to a few years ago. He showed off the roombas autonomous stuff and it was pretty awesome. It stayed within an IR barrier, could locate its charging dock and charge itself, had bump sensors to keep from getting caught on stuff (sounds easy to do but try building a robot that doesn't get stuck and see how hard it is to get a design that easily frees itself) and had bump sensors that would keep it from rolling off stairs.
As for the vacuum cleaner part, I couldn't really tell you much about that. He said it was just as much cleaning power as a Dyson standing vacuum and that all the whirlwind-window stuff in the Dyson was pretty much just for show.
O_o
But I don't leave a place where I don't have music playing. So I'll pass on this one..
WHAT'S NEXT?

SonicStage is pretty un-tempting.
Seems half-decent for fleabaying, though.
Ahh! I didn't read that! Thanks for pointing that out.
(I have to work today. And tomorrow. And my birthday is friday. And I'm still celebrating my birthday on saturday.)

So, 5 minutes?
6 D's and 7 AAA's?
They should have just strapped a boat battery to it, geez.
I have too many areas a Roomba shouldn't go, and too many game cords it would eat.
