GEEKHACK PACK -- LIMITED EDITION A FEW LEFT?

[baldgye]

That is 1 of 9 items you could get.  The rest are listed.

ahh ok

[Halverson]

we also forgot to schedule the prototype pack separately, so lump the prototype pack (with the spacebars) in with the premium pack items

I just thought of this, and does this mean....blue geekhack.org spacebar?!? 

[jdcarpe]

Forgot what time it was, but I managed to snag one of the premium packs somehow. I hope I get something good!

I think it either means there's now 10 premium packs vs 9 original, or the premium was split between the 9 original.

[Octane]

I can't believe one of the premiums was still available for me - I totally forgot until I saw activity in the other thread. That R3 set will certainly make someone happy. Good luck everyone.

[el2k]

I can still see pemium pack @60 USD available.. is this for real? Can i buy it?

with all the geeks here you could probably just do a "hardware drive" and get people to throw you a heap of  good server gear in donations. lol

[jdcarpe]

Cash is king. That way they can purchase what they need specifically. I am happy to support this site with purchases and cash donations!

[fl0w3n]

Same here, the $60+21 is the most I've ever spent on key caps but I liked the cause.

[metalliqaz]

^^^ that's less than it costs me to go out to dinner.

[mkawa]

give me model numbers.

in general, if you have server-grade hardware you'd like to donate, PM me, please.

[mkawa]

i want to gently remind people that this geekhack pack is limited edition. when these are gone, they are gone for good.

[iMav]

Just received my geekhack pack in the mail (gotta lead by example!)...

If you love GH and haven't yet purchased one...SHAME ON YOU!  (yes, I am not beyond using guilt) 


Seriously, this is a unique offering and, as mkawa stated, when they are gone...THEY ARE GONE!

[Halverson]

Don't make me buy more! I am just a poor Canadian! (Poor due to the last week of GH spendage).

But everyone else, pick these up, well worth it, and donating makes you feel great!

I didn't buy the premium pack.  Stupid for me to receive back any of the items that I donated for the fund raiser.

[JSaintS]

a little question about one of those packs; what is the "Techkeys HOLOGRAM Card"? is it the normal type of card we receive when we order? or another?

[alaricljs]

There's now 3 cards in the techkeys range... the standard clearish, gold, and a new hologram card that I haven't even seen a pic of yet.

[i3oilermaker]

Buy a techkeys pack and find out

wait what?! 3 types? I only have two oO INSTABUY!!!!

[iMav]

Final push guys!!!  We really need to get these sold.

They make great stocking stuffers. And what better way to say "I love you", then a gift of a techkeys geekhack pack? 

Two days left and I would really love to see these sell out.  Just bought another pack myself! 

[Shadovved]

Hm iMav, bought one of the gold pack



Care identifying the gh key for me?

Asked a few people, cant seem to place it anyway

Isn't that the lasered one that WASD used to sell in a 4 cap set?

[Shadovved]

The colour seems to be different........ Have a few more pics of the upskirt shot

That was one of the geekhack keys offered back when I ran the monthly group buy.  You don't see those around much as they were only offered once.

[Shadovved]

Nope, hence I cant seem to place it anywhere.........

EDIT: Ahhhhhhhhh, I see, thanks iMav

Here's a few pics

[Halverson]

And mav to the rescue! Nice cap!

I always have the urge to get gold packs to find old caps from mav's stash.

Alas, money, she is tight.

[JSaintS]

a quick question, it is said on Techkeys' site that the pack is :

TechKeys Pack Includes

    All Base Package Items
    Techkeys HOLOGRAM Card
    At least 1 TechKeys Key (Past, Present, or Future)

and it is said that the gold pack as a gold card, does it means both are included in the pack,or just one? I didn't order mine yet, and I'ld like to have the gold, but already having the gold card, I'ld like to get the hologram card instead

can someone help me out?

[iMav]

can someone help me out?

i3oilermaker would have to make the call on that.  I would think he could be flexible.  If not, I just ordered a techkey pack...maybe he can swap your gold card with my hologram one?

thanks iMav for the proposition!

I hope i3oilermaker will be able to do something for me about that ^^ I'll wait his answer (maybe should send him a PM) and I'll order my pack then!

I just wanted to say that what you guys are doing for the site is just awesome!
GH is probably the site where I spend the most of my time (when I'm not playing video games ^^) I hope it will stay where it is for a long long time

[i3oilermaker]

I'll allow it - please PM me after placing an order for gold pack

[Batmann]

I like the idea of supporting GeekHack and I'm happy with my pack,

But what I like less is that we have absolutely no idea about why you need that much money, how much you already collected (a lot according to what happens in the classified section), what did you buy with that money,  what still needs to be done...
I mean you could very well go to Mexico with the collected money and nobody would know!

If this is a collective effort then you have to set goals and give updates imho.
I would probably give more in that case.

why you think i suggested they just ask for hardware instead of cash. but SHHH you get in trouble for asking this stuff SHHH quick run and hide...

[mkawa]

we are buying server hardware to maintain the security, robustness and performance of geekhack.org.

we don't divulge exactly what we are buying or what we are running on it for security reasons (we have been thoroughly owned before, and don't wish to repeat that saga)

frankly, the money we have collected is pretty piddly. to date (prior to geekhack pack revenue), we had collected 1650$ from the beginning of time (or when geekhack started taking donations, whichever came first . frankly, staff have already donated 2x directly in hardware than 1650$ can buy.

i will say this. we have an unusual hosting platform, we require a high degree of redundancy, but our monthly costs are much lower than your average site. for reference, a site of our size and traffic typically costs 500-1000$ per month to run in bandwidth and hosting fees.

I have no doubts running this website requires money,

what I'm saying is that if we knew how you use the money (without going into deep details like exact hardware references ...) it would make things clear and transparent.

Anyway that's just my 2 cents!

[mkawa]

this money is going to go to buy at least one beefy modern services box that will do the heavyweight back-end services processing. at the moment, we're regularly overloading our poor little million year old amd box, and i haven't even started writing my principled but horribly inefficient php to implement the millions of features and bug-fixes on the to-do list yet.

the new hardware will allow me to start refactoring and adding to the geekhack codebase so that we can offer you a better user and vendor experience, and as always, completely for free without ads.

[fl0w3n]

That's awesome, and the work and non-ad environment is greatly appreciated.

Is this all setup in your basement or something?

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

I have a server in my basement.  But anyways...

Isn't the GH server in DC or something?

[MMB]

It's in iMav's basement.

[fl0w3n]

I vaguely remember some one posting pictures of a basement server, I can't recall if it was this forum or not. Might have been my oldbbit coin mining group, now that I think of it.

Now I'm gonna have to go home and take a picture on the server in my basement...

[alaricljs]

I've got a server in my basement, don't think I posted pics.

I think GH used to run on a small collection of TI-85s

Haha oh I could picture it now... )

Although I prefer the TI-86 to the TI-85... used one all throughout highschool.  I actually programmed my own GUI for it too.

We should upgrade to Raspberry pi farm

[i3oilermaker]

Less server talk, more server funding.

I've got the hologram cards waiting for me at home, and I'm feeling generous with the techkeys packs...GEEKHACK PACK GET!
