Laptop Challenge 1: Survive five-foot drop onto pavement.

Status: Passed.

Notes: Participation in Challenge was unintentional.

@AlexRavine Does that mean I should hold onto the 02 Baco we picked up last year? Please say no.

Oh, kids on the bus: “I found a Giant Tiger gift card on the ground with $1.37 on it. So I bought a chocolate bar. It was so gangsta!”

@hellokaitlin Have you seen the Ork Posters that are similar? http://www.orkposters.com/toronto.html So cool.

@PSchammy I’ll email a reminder to my work address to check!

@flangy I’m not a fan of the vi bindings; I actually bought a Bluetooth keypad for my laptop so I wouldn’t have to vi. /cc @stephenelliott

@PSchammy Alas, but I cannot. It’s Hummingbird’s RDIMS; I can’t recall which version.

@PSchammy Intriguing. I’ll have to do some research and see what I can do. Being low man on the totem pole at an 8000-person shop sucks

@PSchammy And, believe me, I love the concept of a doc management system, but ours is a dog. A VB-coded dog.

@PSchammy I think we’re held back by our antique doc management system. It’d need to be re-integrated, and there’s no way we’d pay for it :/

@PSchammy Pete, I love you, man, but the WordPerfect of ten years ago isn’t doing us any favours at work. Unless it favours us by crashing.

@roneade Workplace IT decisions fascinate me. But mostly anger me. Who knows when we’ll get rid of our decade-old technology at work?

@roneade Wow. You can’t even buy that any more. Then again, we’re stuck with WordPerfect 10, Internet Explorer 6, and Office 2002 at work…

@roneade What a shame! I wonder if the layout people get to keep using Macs. (Or is that done at a Postmedia central location nowadays?)

@roneade Were you guys a Mac shop before? No way!
