When you going to be there DEP?  We alwys go in May and November…..

[deadendpro]

if i am to study next spring, it will be jan/feb- july 2012 i believe. if i study the fall after that, it would be aug/sept-december 2012. We're just going to have to meet sooner G-man! haha

[Giles]

I'll be in San Fran before that…........

[Beatle]

yeah, DBP, we shall have to meet in SFO

[deadendpro]

i hope that you will be! haha. both of you. perhaps this time Giles will be rocking something never seen before like Beats did at the SuFu04 party. haha. damn, still blown away by that green herringbone. and i am going to apply to both next spring and the following fall. if i get in to one, i may just jump at the first chance. the only difference will be that from now till then i can learn more Japanese at the trade-off of waiting the extra semester. or i can go earlier and have to stay in Kyoto instead of a city much closer to Hachioji. dunno. i'll have to wait and see.

An old fashioned light bulb used to last forever.  Now they force you to buy "eco friendly low energy" light bulbs which are supposed to last even longer - but those damn fuckers burn out in 4 months…that's what's wrong with the world

[Seul]

You bought the wrong ones, Beats… Mine last a LOT longer

[Giles]

Hers were made in Saxony…........

[injunjack]

I have stacked old fashioned bulbs…

[Giles]

Me too - have 100's

[Beatle]

Maybe you never turn the lights ON , I hear that's what happens the further North you travel, all candle light and shit..

[Beatle]

on the stacking - smart move - live and learn, gonna have to find me some

you just come and see…

[Beatle]

I have super duper good source here Beats.  Gimme the specs and I'll get em in….

[Beatle]

epic, gotta love the forum…around 30W - and E27 would be size of screw in part..socket ? not sure if that is the same way they are labeled in the UK

[rocket]

Beatle, E27 under 60W should be available in a normal electronic store or Baumarkt near you, there is no sale ban for those as far as I know, at least here they are available without a problem

[Beatle]

and I will check this out asap…thanks for info...they make it sound like "old" light bulbs are illegal and the store that dares selling them should be closed down...

[injunjack]

the "dim" ones are discontinued, Clear ones are commonly available, at least here.

[Beatle]

30 cents per light bulb should be a pretty reasonable, price , right ? gonna get 100 via ebay…
