Weekend plans

[kingandy]

Bloke in office is selling his Clié (model NX73); apparently he's using it less now he has a laptop. Only £150, cheap at half the price. Sorely tempted; his girlfriend has first refusal, so it might not be an issue, but if she doesn't want it then I may well be unable to turn it down. It's so shiny.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, worrying less now I've reminded myself that it's mostly bacony's stuff we have to worry about. I've got plenty of time to move my stuff, either to Ilkley or to stsquad's place the weekend after. As long as we get the stuff done that needs trailers and extra hands, I'll be sorted.

So, plan for the weekened:

Friday evening - pack some stuff in boxes. Dance, while Katy tries to get her entire life in boxes. Possibly help.
Saturday morning - take first load of boxes over to Alex's in car, where we meet the gorgeous spodula with his trailer. Empty Alex's basement into the trailer. Take trailer to tip, empty trailer. Take trailer to our house in Levenshulme, fill trailer. Go to Alex's house, empty trailer. Repeat to fade. At some point ghostbritain arrives to help, because he feels obliged after I helped him move. This gives us three big men and one dainty woman, should be plenty for the lifting and carrying of sofas and TVs etc.
Saturday evening - head over to zheers's place some time after 6 (unless moving finishes earlier), but before 7.30 (when the coach - coach! - leaves for Leeds). Hopefully moving will be complete by then. If not, Katy, Nook and Scousey can continue by themselves, hee hee.
Saturday/Sunday - become outrageously drunk. Try to get into pants of far too many good friends. Proceed as and when.

I'm sure most people would be welcome to the party, but I understand space in the coach is limited so you'd have to make your own way to Leeds. See recent entries for details. Also contact zheers, it's his party and I don't want to accidentaly invite anyone he hates.

£150!

I paid £150 for my iPAQ and that has built-in wireless and Bluetooth. Whats the NX73 got that the iPAQ hasn't?

It's shiny? It has a built-in camera and ... a big, shiny screen. And a keyboard.

I don't know anything about your iPAWQ. Read the review I linked, it's pretty complete...

Well IMNSHO:

0.3 Megapixel camera - whats the point, may as well use your moobile
16Mb RAM/11 Usable - althoug the Clie runs Palm/OS rather than the 64Mb my iPAQ has

Yes, I can always take pictures on my camera, using the power of my mind or possibly witchcraft... by which I mean, I don't have a camera on my phone.

It also has a crapload of software and a +32Mb memory stick.

Come on, link me a review or a spec or something for your iPAQ ... the word "ipaq" picks up 5,760,000 results on Google and I don't know which model I'm looking for.

Anyway I'm not trying to bias you, it just seems the Clie is a little old/under speced to something I paid the same price for brand new a couple of months ago.

Umm, hmm.

The attractive features about the Clie are (1) It's here, I can feel it in my hand, and (2) Keyboard. Also, in case I didn't mention it before, (3) looks so cool.

Nah - it will run Linux ;-P

Thinking about it, if it's a coach, the driver is going to have an entertaining time getting it round the windy-Barratt-estate-roads to zheers' house. Will see you there.

Yay!
