New account, new home here. :-)

FSSSSV. I guess that's the combination of SSG and SSS. We'll need a number theorist to figure that out.

Wish list (0-11)

0) (needed daily) $5 for lunch you stingy dimwits!
1) Sixteen ounces of something like this. More pictures available here. I grow and I brew.
2) Soap. It would be nice to have a bar each of eucalyptus and tea. I like the peppermint and the almond, too. Citrus, one of the newest additions, sounds delightful but would have long term social stigmas associated with it if I were to use it daily--it would be something that I would rotate in once or twice weekly. Eucalyptus and tea first.
3) Shampoo and conditioner, travel sizes, Crew.
4) Moisturizer. I always kept one of the 18 oz. herbal moisturizer bottles around and I usually ordered one of the body wash tubes to compliment the other liquid soaps. The shimmer bronze sounds nice but it is not available in the hard bottle (travel) size. An 18 oz. pump top bottle is altogether too large, too heavy, and a potential mess for a homeless person.
5) It would be nice to have a CD player so that I might listen to my own audio environment. A useful one would need to have at least 60-second skip protection, a lock (locks the buttons and volume so that random bumps don't mess with the tuneage), and recharges its own batteries. A good portion of CD players support mp3 CDs and some will support ogg/vorbis as well: that's always a handy feature.
6) Any sort of audio playing device requires drivers to send the sound to the ear. A good pair of stereo headphones can usually be found in the $20-$30 price range though, if one is a true audiophile, quality buys can be found in odd places for $15.
7) This is a good album. No idea what the difference is between the ltd. ed. gold tin (mine was a silver tin) and the import.
8) Laptop. This is again one of those things that I would need to simply spend time, over the course of a month (at least), perusing and carousing and browsing and watching for until I happened across one that just fits. CDRW/DVD (preferably CD/DVDRW), at least 80 gb HD, about 2 gb RAM (what's the hottest RAM bus lately? I've been out of the loop for a while), 64 bit, greater than 2.0 GHz, preferably with as much L1/2/3 (on-die) cache as possible, preferably max out the FSB frequency, dedicated audio (Soundblaster Audigy or comparable), dedicated video (at one time I preferred Diamond, then it was nVidia, then it didn't really matter anymore and Radeons were plentiful and readily available, now I'm out of practice on these things), at least two USB ports, integrated wireless network, preferably with a hardwire ethernet adapter (preferably integrated so I don't need to play around with pcmcia cards), I always like to have a dialup modem (does anyone use those things now that we have near ubiquitous wireless now?), 15.4" or greater screen size (but skip any of those glare reducing/sideview blocking/ultrabright/supervibrant screen coatings--they're just gimmicks), minimum 1280x1024 screen resolution (1600x1200 is my preferred desktop), firewire... with a current order of Debian installation library (how many CDs are they up to? How long does it take to jigdo a whole set?), a current order of the Linuxfromscratch CDs (including the liveCD, and maybe a good Knoppix or Damnsmalllinux CD for generic rescue and maintenance purposes. It'd be nice to have WinXP Pro around just to play with, and MS Office apps are always handy/portable/compatible with non-techies.
9) If I had a laptop then I could skip the CD player and just have a personal music player. Solid state only. No hard drive based players. USB or firewire interface (ie. no proprietary docking stations or adapters). Music players don't need to be fancy but they should support standard mp3 format, preferably ogg/vorbis as well. I personally don't ever plan on using wma as long as I can install my own OS on a laptop system.
10) Electrical tape.
11) Duct tape.
