OT: iGo in Sccts on woot

2012-10-14 Thread der.hans

moin moin,

anyone know iGo headquartered in Scottsdale?

iGo claims to have rechargeable alkalines that hold their charge and have
the same voltage as disposable alkalines.

ZDnet says they aren't high capacity.

I've been buying eneloops for years and highly recommend them.

CostCo has multipacks.

Anyone know iGo the company or the products?

ciao,

der.hans

My buddy used to work there. I can't speak for their batteries, but they 
manufacture power supplies under their own label as well as Dell and Lenovo. 

I personally use the pre charged Duracell rechargeables. The key part is 
buying the slow-self discharge types of batteries. They are typically marketed 
as pre charged.

Linux Stammtisch/Job night - TUESDAY

2012-10-14 Thread PLUG Announcements
We'll be meeting up at Iguana Macks at 7pm on Tuesday for the Linux 
Stammtisch.


This month we will have a number of recruiters attending stammtisch.  If 
your looking for a job, please stop by and see whats available.  If you 
are looking for employees, do the same.


A Stammtisch is a gathering of people with a common interest, so there 
is no formal presentation. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stammtisch )


Please come and join us for some good conversation over good food and 
drinks, which are both optional... Friends and family are all welcome.
Come see where the conversation leads this time, it doesn't just stick 
exclusively with Linux.  Us Linux geeks are interested in all sorts of 
things tech, so the conversation always leads to good time.


The private room that we have has power and high speed wireless 
Internet, so if you have any problems, feel free to bring in your 
machine and we'll see what we can do to fix your problem...  We even 
have facilities there to do a formal presentation, so if you have a 
projector and want to show everyone something exciting, we can handle 
that as well.


Iguana Macks is located on the South East corner of Knox (half way 
between Warner and Ray) and Alma School in Chandler.


1371 N Alma School Rd
Chandler, Arizona 85224
(480) 899-6735

See you there,
Brian Cluff

Every once in a while I come back to my computer and the mouse doesn't
work. Hmmm it is working now. Any idea why and how I can fix it when it
happens again?
