Folks,
I just wanted to give you a sneak peak at some of the things that we've been cooking up to strengthen both the geekhack community and the integrity and security of the forum itself.
First, our last fundraising efforts and an extremely generous donation by a staff member have resulted in a very large amount of highly redundant, fast storage that we can use to augment the current server platform (ie, 12-15 raw TB of enterprise disk).
Second, we have some additional ideas that will further bullet-and-future-proof the hardware and software platform at a systems level. The costs for these ideas are thankfully modest, again, largely due to donations by members of staff, but will have non-trivial monetary costs. To alleviate these, we have a number of items we'll be auctioning off for the platform fund. To give you some hints at what's upcom-
(hey, how many different small keyboards _has_ IBM made anyway? and why did they use all those darned plastic rivets everywhere?)
(hmm, i wonder what happened to the monthly GEEKHACK key -- wow, that cherry font sure is nice..)
(when i say 'click' you say..)
(i wonder, was miles davis ever into keyboards?)
Sorry, I'm easily distracted. Anyway, lots of fun stuff coming up. Stay tuned folks!

Looks good but I'm broke now :(

This is coming at a very unfortunate time for me, but I hope I'll be able to be a part of the upcoming fundraising efforts ;).

miles davis headphones?
I'm thinking more along the lines of a monterey blue keyboard....Live at the 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival is a Miles Davis album.
-
nope to both

No jokes either!
Lol, sorry. I like Miles Davis lots and did a large amount of music history and theory in high school/college, sometimes things just flow. But at least I didn't mention his Blue period and then describe it like a wiki article...

You don't really need to know when I go to the bathroom do you?

Hmmm... something tells me others just might have caught on.
Btw, your avatar makes me fat. I've gone out to eat on three different occasions now specifically to that red and yellow church just to get fries after seeing your avatar.
... oh yeah, the hack orange bomb drops tomorrow in my 4grabs thread.
-
clickclack, hahaha. Why not!?

-_- I want that red CC for my M. I even dyed my keys red.
-
PICTURES PLEASE! I MUST BID ON THINGS!
-
I will be all over that ****!

It's funny because you guys aren't aware of one important factor in this auction.
Your wallet? ;D ;)

Wonder what that quote says then *head scratch*
;)
Edit: And of course the obvious fact that I shouldn't have to mention; it's for geekhack =).

That doesn't even make sense :)) . We aren't aware of your wallet? hahaha I need sleep or something because this illness is making so much not make sense :)) .

Read one post above you.
I still don't get it.
-
.
-
Well, you think that.
I have been wanting a BS board.
-
.
-
But that would make it easy.
-
.
-
No, really. It's been, like, predetermined and stuff. You guys might as well not even bid.
I'm tempted to call your bluff....but I don't think I could afford spending 1K, just in an attempt to upbid you, hah.
-
I'm going to win, longweight.
Meh if you are going over $500 then probably!
-
I already owned this, but decided to let someone else have a chance at it.
-
But that would make it easy.
YOU DARE QUESTION FATE!?
Your ego dissapoints me. ;)
I'll just go all Dave Hester style and constantly bid you up by going "YUUUUP" at each interval!
I'll fight with all the $1400 I have to my name! :D
-
WOW, an SSK for my collection. When do we start? I am READY!
-
And really, when we get to the four digit range on bid, who really "wins"? I don't think it's the person that finally has highest bid.
-

Nope! It's the bidder that got there first with a single digit! :D

Hey... no need to be mean. Fate has nothing to do with my ego...
Whoops, was in response to your prior posts! :D
-

-
It's all for GH so they are the winners!
-
But really, I just want to say good luck to all and may the best man win.
And as much as I want it to be me, I'm almost positive it won't be. This board has drained me of quite a bit of money in the week I've been here. I'm having trouble remembering all of the things I have coming this way.
This is a feeling I also already have. However, your budget is still clearly much higher than myself.
Good luck to all!
-
i want to make it clear that i think everyone on this board is a winner
(except for the people who lose this auction)
BID EARLY BID OFTEN :)

I BID ONE MILLION BILLION DOLLARS.

He also said bid often. one million billion dollars and one cent.
Totally joking.

-
Ah, but I did not say what kind of dollars I was using. So I choose monopoly dollars. Haha!

Monopoly is an electronic game now with debit cards instead of paper, I'm cool.

BTW, you're still shark avatar, but I've decided to go with the fact that there's a girl in that shark costume and call you a girl/shark avatar.

Well, I guess there will be a rather big influx of fresh kidneys, lungs and livers on the black market the coming weeks xD.
-
1) your choice of keys. classic SSK, blanks, whatever you want.
2) potentially one of a kind red M skull
3) fully refurbished. the only retains the backplate and chassis of the original board (which are in excellent shape).

Well, time to rid myself of all my life savings at once.

Can I choose ALL the keys?
You can providing you win. ;)

Wait, are we doing this again?
/joking. I've begun a new project that has been taking my time and money, so I will most likely not win, which sucks because it actually got delayed like I was hoping...
Unless it gets delayed two more weeks. Huh, kawa?
Delay it Kawa! He'll give you more money! :D
-
Delay it and I can wisely save up enough to win it for sure. :D

God damn competition... :p

Let's just wait and see.
Can you include international shipping in the thread please?
-
oh dear. well, international shipping would be actual shipping costs. this will exceed the 4lb limit on international priority mail, so i'm not even sure how to ship this internationally.
amended: large flat rate priority is 20lb max. so that should do for shipping. note that's not tracked though. express mail will be in the 50-60$ range i believe.
-
Priority always has tracking. Express is the most expensive USPS option.
-
thread is up and covers international shipping (in the description. i will not personally cover all of international shipping costs).
-
intl Priority gives you nothing but delivery confirmation... and often only to the destination country. There is no actual tracking service on it. If you are getting mid-point updates it's because you got lucky and they're just scanning everything.
-
I guess I must be lucky, then. Every int'l shipment I have shipped has shown tracking. I don't think it was up to the minute, but it definitely showed scans and leaving for delivery, etc.
-
My two recent packages from the pacific rim showed decent updates as well.
