    So I am thinking that I can swing 4 or 5 days here before this thing ends. Maybe, just maybe me and @TrK can do a dueling banjos and take @noob404 out.

    You are enticing me now Frankie, there will be chaos...

    chaos is a good thing, right ?

    It depends if we are competing or not...

    Just with everyone else. It's time for you to win one of these.

    Yeeeehaa, i am getting my eyes on the iPad mini idk i just want another apple device n my hands.

    There you go! iPad is the best for you! Get the PC for me and you got yourself a deal haha

    Pc isn't worth all the drama for me, i mean it seriously doesn't, if i want credits i can always do that with the arcade... but i want the mini ipad.

    So what you are saying is @noob404 is safe. Maybe.

    yeah, maybe......

    Yes he is safe, and by the time he sees these comments, he will sprint his way towards 10k posts. He is that kinda guy hehe

    Trk is fine with the iPad, he's not into the top prize hehe. right @trk ?

    You people are already distributing gifts? :p :D

    Yeah we did way too early I think :lol:
    What do you wish for?

    Whatever I wish, they'll be converted to credits. :D

    Credits are good until I get something I want it to be in my hands.

    Of course, physical goods are way more satisfying. Who don't like having latest PC or ipad :)

    For PC i will end up coughing like $200 for shipping alone and with customs it will cross $500 mark easily, so yeah not worth the hassle.

    Crushing hopes and dreams is my thing. I am sure you have heard the rumors. ;)

    I doubt anyone sees you like that, you were just fair at wanting something you wanted just like me...

    Yeah, it's all fun after all, just don't take my microphone :lol:

    No problem. Your mic is safe from me. @TrK on the other hand, I can't say.

    What do you mean, i already said i am getting my hands on iPad.

    How do you get it shipped?

    There are ways, I will pay like $30, and customs it will be delivered to my door in 10-12 days.

    Nice. Didn't know, I once won something , but converted it to credits.

    Isn't customs costly for things like ipads?

    it depends, i wrote like an entire essay explaining things about Indian customs in a thread here. The customs will be around 38% of the CIF, CIF is declared product value + shipping charge.

    Oh. Didn't see that thread. 38% of those charges is still high right? how much it could be in your estimation?

    I am still in the discussion with them it looks promising but then again, it might not be.

    Keep me posted. And help me build one geo dns with some idle vpses. Recently after seeing you people I'm excited to go back to experiment mode once again.

    How many instances do you have @FrankZ, that must be a lot!

    Just stopped by for coffee.

    Coffee is good, Coffee is life, ask @TrK hehe

    Nothing better than an espresso latte to swing you back into the game of life!

    I thought you were a black coffee guy, I'm disappointed :lol:

    Black coffee works but nothing beats the espresso...

    Espresso is great but milk is a big no for me. I passionately hate mixing milk with coffee.

    Mixing milk is pretty common here, whether its tea or coffee. Rarely some people have it black.

    It's quite common here too, but it's the other way around. When we want coffee, we drink it black. when we want milk, we mix it with coffee

    I think green tea is the only tea nobody mix milk. :p

    i usually have the invoice removed and show them undervalued(like $50-$100 less than the actual price), for i pad mini i am imagining i would end up paying like $150 including shipping and customs + taxes.

    Start fiddling with a powerDNS instance it's easy and you get rock-solid performance.

    PowerDNS. Ok, I'll add it to my list. Have to find some time to fiddle with these things.

    Sheesh, why am I visualizing my dreams vaporizing into thin air :lol:

    Crushing hopes and dreams is my thing. I am sure you have heard the rumors. ;)

    I doubt anyone sees you like that, you were just fair at wanting something you wanted just like me...

    Yeah, it's all fun after all, just don't take my microphone :lol:

    No problem. Your mic is safe from me. @TrK on the other hand, I can't say.

    What do you mean, i already said i am getting my hands on iPad.

    How do you get it shipped?

    There are ways, I will pay like $30, and customs it will be delivered to my door in 10-12 days.

    Nice. Didn't know, I once won something , but converted it to credits.

    Isn't customs costly for things like ipads?

    it depends, i wrote like an entire essay explaining things about Indian customs in a thread here. The customs will be around 38% of the CIF, CIF is declared product value + shipping charge.

    Oh. Didn't see that thread. 38% of those charges is still high right? how much it could be in your estimation?

    i usually have the invoice removed and show them undervalued(like $50-$100 less than the actual price), for i pad mini i am imagining i would end up paying like $150 including shipping and customs + taxes.

    Around 12K inr. Still worth though. You ship it through third party ? Like forwarders something, don't know the name exactly.

    Yeh parcel forwarding services using them for quite some time, and referral i get $10 off for the next parcel, so does the referred one.

    What items you have shipped from there? Are those safe? like deliverability etc.

    Just stopped by for coffee.

    Coffee is good, Coffee is life, ask @TrK hehe

    Nothing better than an espresso latte to swing you back into the game of life!

    I thought you were a black coffee guy, I'm disappointed :lol:

    Black coffee works but nothing beats the espresso...

    Espresso is great but milk is a big no for me. I passionately hate mixing milk with coffee.

    Mixing milk is pretty common here, whether its tea or coffee. Rarely some people have it black.

    It's quite common here too, but it's the other way around. When we want coffee, we drink it black. when we want milk, we mix it with coffee

    I think green tea is the only tea nobody mix milk. :p

    Cough, i did it one time cough.......

    You did what? why did you do that?

    I was a kid back then, come on.....

    Ha ha.

    I see @noob404 is running away with first place again.Why am I not surprised.

    He is no longer noob. He needs to change his username. :p

    No, his name says he's no longer a noob, typical 404 :lol:

    Noob not found. :D

    I asked him once about it, he said it just came into his mind hehe

    With that name, he avoids unnecessary attention. ;)

    He's sneaky for sure :lol:

    Of course, or else how come he moved past 5k+ when no one else even move past 2k mark yet. :p

    He's a robot, I wonder wether frank can beat his daily post record in this thread. I think it was 500 or 600 :lol:

    No sweat I've crushed that number in the past, so has @TrK.

    Sheesh, brace yourselves boys....we're getting raided in the final days and the guy is even giving us a heads up. Thats when you know we're doomed :grin:

    Ofcourse he has his own and we had a long convo regarding that on one of RN threads in the past.

    Lets have one this time. May be that weedo something thing?

    I am still in the discussion with them it looks promising but then again, it might not be.

    Keep me posted. And help me build one geo dns with some idle vpses. Recently after seeing you people I'm excited to go back to experiment mode once again.

    Start fiddling with a powerDNS instance it's easy and you get rock-solid performance.

    PowerDNS. Ok, I'll add it to my list. Have to find some time to fiddle with these things.

    What's the benefits of having this vs using a public cdn like cloudflares?

    Kinda same, just you own everything and CF can't force you to pay or suspend your website if you endup hogging couple of TBs.

    Don't know yet, just want to experiment with idle vpses. One useful thing is we control everything.

    Yeah pretty much safe, my 10th gen ipad from RN balckfriday last year was delivered to me perfectly safe and sound. I get like 2 parcels in year from US all wth same forwarding company and logistics just because i had good experience with them on the first time.

    I love how it's going forward... if you want milk mix it coffee, what if someone wants to drink some ale? mix it with coffee as well? or will it be served as is :lol:

    Haha I’m just saying some of us prefer milk mixed with coffee rather than just milk.
