no, sigfrieds is the domain of the "culinary management" students. i'm at school on wednesdays until about 2. i never took you for a santoku knife man; i actually just bought one to try (cheap PC model); not sure how i like it yet.

LOVE the santoku knife. I have 2 right now, one for home and one for work. Cheap henkels from Winners of all places. The perfect knife for me.

Actually that was a pretty awesome movie until I realized after the credits rolled that it had absolutely zero replay value.

It's all about the full tang knife with the wooden handle.
Obviously the steel has to be nice.

I've got a chipped Henkel that my grandmother was
nolonger using because the handle was broken.

I rebound the handle with twine and brought it back to life with a sharpening stone.

It cuts tomatoes with it's own weight.

REUSE FTW!

I saw a mythbusters episode and they decided that a bike lawnmower was impossible. They couldn't even do it properly with an electric mower attached to the front. Maybe they were wrong though...

I just dumped the last half dozen or so beater bikes outside behind the shop. they are not high quality but are certainly useful to someone. I still have a few bins of old parts as well. Bike Chain is welcome to the lot...but you have to arrange pickup.

The playstation_controller.asp in the URL is for search engines to rank it higher.. If the URL has the key word.. It'll be closer to the top of the list.

They probably sell PS controllers..

Send me a PM and we can arrange a pickup time.

Edit: Did a quick skim of the Bikechain site, looks like a good project. I'd much rather see the frames (and parts) put to use than pitch them. I'm not a fanatic about recycling or reuseing items, but I do look for ways to improve the situation.

I'll dig through the stuff I have and see what else might be of use.

Critical Vacuum, an on again off again toronto fixed ride that usually meets in the evening at the Honest Eds parking lot. We haven't (or atleast I haven't) been to one in awhile but as the season winds down I think it would be interesting if theres interest.

Are you sure that's not where they are keeping the plans for the new bypass? *somewhere cryptic reference, should be easy*

My wife brought home my embroidered Traffic Jammer Wear...... damn super cool.
The jacket (Second Skin)is warm and comphy and can be worn when I'm not biking.
The pants had been done in the wrong spot and a medium was too big (huh?), so it looks like I'll be getting a smaller pair. The fabric is killer, and they feel pretty water proof and stretchy. Great for putting on after a ride as well, say at the patio, or waiting for your next set of laps. I'm a lucky Daddy.

So far the new MacBook Pro, is sweeeeet. Hey.. anybody have any ideas how to get the Mac to access Windows XP shared folders over wireless at home? I tried smb://i.p# but failed to connect to anything, ip# being the ip# of the PC as reported by my router. Network utilities ping the addy no problem. Last time I connected Mac's and PC's I was using MacLan. :lol:

Great for putting on after a ride as well, say at the patio, or waiting for your next set of laps. I'm a lucky Daddy.

So far the new MacBook Pro, is sweeeeet. Hey.. anybody have any ideas how to get the Mac to access Windows XP shared folders over wireless at home? I tried smb://i.p# but failed to connect to anything, ip# being the ip# of the PC as reported by my router. Network utilities ping the addy no problem. Last time I connected Mac's and PC's I was using MacLan. :lol:

Techforums.net?

if you likes the CLI, you can use stuff like..
mount.cifs IP#/sharename /mountplace -uuser_name

This is for linux. and since mac is using BSD like MACH, then i presume it's the same.

Maybe try a the share folder and a username.

Yeah, couple of us went out for beers at a bar. Very expensive beers. Anyways, yes to your offer. Same place, what time?



That's very cool. If I did more sciences i'd seriously consider EMS.


YOUR BEER was expensive.. ordering a can of Guiness at a pub who's draft consisted of just the Amsterdam triple.
