== Info == <br />
<br />
The annual CSE Holiday Party is coming soon:<br />
<br />
'''When''': 6:00 PM on Friday, December 5, 2008.<br />
<br />
'''Where''': Center for Urban Horticulture [http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/northeast.html?NHS]<br />
<br />
'''What to bring''': Food! It's a potluck, so sign up below...<br />
<br />
The department will provide drinks and cups, plates, silverware, etc.<br />
<br />
Guests (friends, family, significant other etc.) are certainly welcome to <br />
attend. If you're bringing something for the potluck, just try to bring <br />
enough to feed you and however many guests you're bringing.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Directions ===<br />
<br />
The Center for Urban Horticulture is a quick drive / bus ride / walk east of campus. You can find it on the UW campus map at:<br />
<br />
http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/northeast.html?NHS<br />
<br />
Find it on Google at:<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=47.658069285726796+-122.29019165039062&sll=47.669799,-122.289434&sspn=0.009132,0.021436&ie=UTF8&ll=47.658158,-122.290063&spn=0.001142,0.00268&t=h&z=19<br />
<br />
There is plenty of parking on site, but it goes without saying that I think you should ride a bus ;) Routes 75 and 65 from campus go pretty much right there.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Potluck Sign-Up ==<br />

<hr />
<div>PARIS, April 11 — Two bombings in Algeria, one targeting the prime minister’s office in the country’s capital, killed at least 23 people today and injured 160, marking a sharp escalation in the Qaeda-linked violence that has been spreading across North Africa in recent months.<br />
<br />
Al-Jazeera television reported that the Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb, North Africa’s most active terrorist group, called its bureau and claimed responsibility for both bombings.<br />
<br />
“This is a crime, a cowardly act,” said Prime Minister Abdelaziz Belkhadem, speaking on national radio shortly after the explosion outside his offices. “It can only be described as cowardice and betrayal at a time when the Algerian people are asking for national reconciliation and extend their hands, these criminal acts are taking place.”<br />
<br />
The official news agency said that at least 23 people had been reported dead following the bombings.<br />
<br />
Police officials said the attack at the government offices killed at least 12 people, Agence France Presse reported.<br />
<br />
The second attack took place in a suburb east of the capital, where officials said suicide bombers driving two cars attacked a police station, killing 11 people, AFP reported.<br />
<br />
The Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb is the name recently adopted by the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, which was created in 1998 as an offshoot of an earlier Islamist group that had been fighting the government in a decade-long civil war.<br />
<br />
Its numbers had been seriously depleted by two government offers of amnesty and a subsequent manhunt by Algerian security forces after the second offer expired last year. But the group has undergone an apparent revival since its affiliation with Al Qaeda last year, drawing new members from across North Africa, terrorism experts in Europe and North Africa say.<br />
<br />
Together with a resurgence of violence in Morocco and Tunisia, governments on both sides of the Mediterranean fear that the re-branded group is coalescing into a regional terror movement.<br />
<br />
In February, the group detonated five powerful car bombs outside police stations in six towns east of the capital, Algiers, killing six people.<br />
<br />
Those coordinated attacks alarmed officials because they involved more sophisticated remote detonation devices than had been used before.<br />
<br />
The attacks today confirmed fears that that the violence would again enter the capital, which became a war zone during the country’s horrific civil war in the 1990s.<br />
<br />
Residents today described the scene after the explosions. "At first I thought it was an earthquake," the Reuters news agency quoted lawyer Tahar bin Taleb as saying. “My wife called me a few moments later crying and shouting. I ran home to find all the mirrors and windows in the house were shattered.” Reuters said the explosion at the prime minister’s offices blew a hole in the six-story building, shattered windows and showered rubble onto surrounding cars.</div>Rosehttp://abstract.cs.washington.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Mac_Users&diff=6317Mac Users2006-12-17T17:22:48Z<p>Rose: </p>

<hr />
<div>This list are the applications that most use in CSE. We try to focus on applications that are free, inexpensive and open source. If such applications don't exist, we list the best piece of software in that category. If you want a specific piece of software, try [http://www.macupdate.com MacUpdate] and [http://www.versiontracker.com VersionTracker]. You can also send your question to the [https://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/mac-users mailing list].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Text</b><br><br />
[http://macromates.com/ TextMate] is a brilliant general purpose text editor while others prefer [http://www.barebones.com/ BBEdit]. [http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ SubEthaEdit] is a novel collaborative text editor that some use. If you can't afford the above, [http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ TextWrangler] is a mini-BBedit that's good. Vi users can try [http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php Vim] and Emacs users can try [http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/ Carbon Emacs]. <br />
<br />
As far as IDE's go, [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/ Xcode] and [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse] are good and free options.<br />
<br />
For creating Tex documents, try [http://macromates.com/ TextMate] or [http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html TeXShop]. If you need to embed equations in documents, [http://ktd.club.fr/programmation/latexit_en.php LaTeXiT] is your best option.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Graphics</b><br><br />
For creating posters, graphs and other vector based images, [http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/ OmniGraffle] is the standard but is expensive. For more free form work, try [http://www.inkscape.org/ Inkscape], which is an Illustrator clone.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Productivity</b><br><br />
[http://www.neooffice.org/ NeoOffice] is a Mac friendly version of the free [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice]. You can use your site or personal license for [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004 Office 2004]. Apple also has [http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/ Keynote] for presentations and [http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/ Pages] which may or may not come with your machine.<br />
<br />
Note taking can be done with [http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/product/mori Mori], [http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/ Yojimbo], [http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/ OmniOutliner]. For quick and free notes try, [http://homepage.mac.com/stewart.hector/home/software/software.html Notepad Widget] or your favorite text editor.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Browsing</b><br><br />
[http://www.caminobrowser.org Camino] is based on the Mozilla rendering engine, but unlike Firefox it is "Mac-y" in nature. It uses Keychain, OS X elements, etc. You can find optimized versions on [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=12 MozillaZine] and extensions at [http://pimpmycamino.com PimpMyCamino].<br />
<br />
[http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/safari/ Safari] is the standard OS X browser. [http://webkit.org/ WebKit] is Apple's open source (and often faster) browser engine. Find extensions at [http://pimpmycamino.com PimpMySafari].<br />
<br />
[http://www.firefox.com/ Firefox], is a cross-platform browser, but there are [http://www.beatnikpad.com/firefox processor optimized] versions available. Find extensions at [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/ Mozilla AddOns].<br />
<br />
If you are using, Camino or Firefox, you'll note that you don't by default have the ability to render PDFs in the browser. If you're running on an Intel mac, you're up a creek without a paddle, switch to Safari if you really need it. If you're using a PowerPC mac then you can download [http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ PDF Browser], which basically puts Preview.app into the browsers.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Chat</b><br><br />
Most people use [http://www.adiumx.com Adium] (based on Gaim but pretty) because it's [http://www.ksuther.com/chax/ customizable] and allows for all the chat protocols in one client. It has medicore file transfer support so some prefer [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/ iChat] paired with [http://www.ksuther.com/chax/ Chax]. <br />
<br />
For VoIP, [http://www.skype.com/ Skype] and [http://www.gizmoproject.com/ GizmoProject] have Mac clients. For those still on IRC, try [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Mail</b><br><br />
You can use [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/mail/ Mail], [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird] or [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/entourage2004.aspx?pid=entourage2004 Entourage]. Mail tends to be more popular because it's easy and simple. Entourage tends to be the reverse of Mail, and Thunderbird sits in the middle. If you use Mail, try [http://c-command.com/spamsieve/ SpamSieve] or it's free counterpart [http://junkmatcher.sourceforge.net/Home/index.html JunkMatcher] for better filtering. Use [http://harnly.net/software/letterbox/ LetterBox] to get three column layouts.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Calendar</b><br><br />
You can use [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/ iCal] or [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/entourage2004.aspx?pid=entourage2004 Entourage]. iCal tends to be more popular because it's easy and simple. Entourage tends to be the reverse of iCal but has better Exchange server support.<br />
<br />
<br><b>RSS</b><br><br />
[http://vienna-rss.sourceforge.net/vienna21.php Vienna] is an open-source client that works well. [http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=NetNewsWire NetNewsWire] (both pro and lite) are pretty good too.<br />
<br />
<br><b>PDF</b><br><br />
[http://pdfview.sourceforge.net/ PDFView] is vastly superior to Apple's [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/pdf/ Preview]. Also, take a look at [http://www.yepthat.com/ yep] which is like iPhoto for your documents.<br />
<br />
<br><b>File Transfer</b><br><br />
For FTP/SFTP, [http://cyberduck.ch/ Cyberduck] and [http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ Fugu] are nice and free, while [http://www.panic.com/transmit/ Transmit] is nicer and not free. [http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/ Fetch] works and is free for students.<br />
<br />
For torrents, try [http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Intel_Macs Azureus] if you need lots of functionality and plugs-ins. For more Mac-centric clients, [http://sarwat.net/bittorrent/ Tomato Torrent], [http://transmission.m0k.org/ Transmission] and [http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/ XTorrent] are all brilliant.<br />
<br />
For general downloading, there is [http://www.yazsoft.com/ Speed Download] which is elegant and [http://www.igetter.net/ iGetter] which works.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Music</b><br><br />
For listening to music, [http://www.apple.com/itunes/ iTunes] is the standard and you can get some useful [http://www.dougscripts.com/ scripts]. There are also [http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/MediaRage.html Media Rage] or [http://jay.tuley.name/pages/software#ieatbrainz IEatBrainz] (old) for tag management, [http://nclasssoftware.com/index.php/nClassSoftware/corripio/ Corripio] or [http://www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm Amazon Album Art widget] for artwork management. If you switch music libraries often, try [http://homepage.mac.com/sroy/libra/ Libra]. <br />
<br />
For making music, [http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/ Garageband] is pretty good if you don't want any "pro" apps. Audio editing can be done with either [http://www.hairersoft.com/Amadeus.html Amadeus] or [http://www.freeverse.com/soundstudio/ SoundStudio]. You can also try [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Video</b><br><br />
As far as playing video, [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html QuickTime] paired with [http://perian.org/ Perian] and [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx Flip4Mac] is a really powerful combination. You can also use [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC], or [http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/ MPlayer].<br />
<br />
For making videos, you can pick your choice of [http://www.apple.com/finalcut/ iMovie HD, Final Cut Express HD, and Final Cut Studio]. Which one you pick depends on what you want to do (and spend).<br />
<br />
<br><b>Burning Software</b><br><br />
OS X has built-in [http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/burn/ disk burning], but most find [http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html Toast] much better. [http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/ Burn] is a free alternative.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Photos</b><br><br />
[http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/iPhoto iPhoto] which is simple and [http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family.html Photoshop] which is complex are at the two ends of the spectrum. You can also try [http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphcon.htm GraphicConverter] which sits neatly in the middle, or [http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ Gimp.app].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Navigation</b><br><br />
It's hard to explain these apps, but they sit between using a command line and using a gui. [http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html LaunchBar] gets you instant access to apps, documents, search engines, etc. It's extremely quick, stable and has limited features. [http://blacktree.com/apps/quicksilver/ Quicksilver] is a similar open source application, but with slightly less stability and a ton more features. <br />
<br />
<br><b>Notification</b><br><br />
[http://growl.info/ Growl] allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications. A lot of applications use Growl and it's generally a useful thing to have installed. It essentially replaces (and largely outdoes) the unified windows notification system that windows users are used to having pop up from the system tray.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Backup</b><br><br />
[http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html SuperDuper] makes a bootable image of your hard drive. [http://www.econtechnologies.com/site/Pages/ChronoSync/chrono_overview.html Chronosync] makes versioned incremental backups of any folder you specify.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Utilities</b><br><br />
[http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html OnyX] helps you run system maintenance tasks and configure hidden parameters. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack AppleJack] is a similar utility which runs in single user mode.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Remote Desktop</b><br><br />
Intel Users should try [http://cord.sourceforge.net CoRD] and PowerPC users should try [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/misc/rdc_update_103.xml&secid=80&ssid=10&flgnosysreq=True Microsoft RDC]. You can also install rdesktop in [http://rdesktop.darwinports.com/ darwinports] or [http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/rdesktop fink].<br />
<br />
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ Chicken of the VNC] is the standard VNC client and there is also a nice [http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-macosx.php NX] client. <br />
<br />
<br><b>Running Windows</b><Br><br />
You can try virtualization ([http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels], [http://www.vmware.com/mac VMWare]), native install ([http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/ BootCamp]) or a hybrid ([http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ CrossOver]). If you do a lot of hardware or graphics intensive work, you want to use Windows natively. If you need a full fledged Windows install try virtualization. If you only have one app and it's supported by Crossover, then use that.<br />
<br />
If you want know the differences, try this [http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsid=2990 Guide for Choosing Boot Camp or Parallels to Run Windows on an Apple MacBook]</div>Rosehttp://abstract.cs.washington.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Bicycle_shops_in_Seattle&diff=6211Bicycle shops in Seattle2006-12-05T20:22:07Z<p>Rose: /* Ania Mitros (22 Nov 2004) */</p>

While '''Recycled Cycles''' <ref name="recycledcycles">Recycled Cycles [http://www.recycledcycles.com/] [http://tinyurl.com/yz7srn Map]</ref> is a good place to shop around, especially for used stuff, I have been happier with the service and selection at '''Montlake Cycles'''<ref name="montlakebike">Montlake Cycles [http://www.montlakebike.com][http://tinyurl.com/yd7rz6 Map]</ref>, in the Montlake neighbordhood, about a mile south of campus. They're extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Their mechanics do good work, and stand by it. Easily accessible on foot, or from the 43 or 48 bus. '''Gregg's Greenlake'''<ref name="greggscycles">Gregg's Greenlake [http://www.greggscycles.com/] [http://tinyurl.com/yfcyfs Map]</ref> is also pretty good.<br />
<br />
==Ania Mitros (22 Nov 2004)==<br />
*'''Recycled Cycles'''<ref name="recycledcycles"/> sells used bikes and used bike parts. They're a good place to go if you want inexpensive parts. Their sales people are very knowledgeable and friendly. They've been very helpful to me with advice on how to do my own repair work with parts that I purchased from them. I unfortunately had a bad experience buying a used "refurbished" bike from them for $130. The bike had a bunch of stuff wrong with it, some attributable to it being an older bike, but some that should have been caught by a semi-competent mechanic if he'd given a damn and bothered to look. Their head mechanic is knowledgeable, so I think he just didn't bother to take the time to actually check the bike out. Since then, I don't buy anything expensive at Recycled unless I feel competent to assess its quality myself.<br />
*'''Ti Cycles'''<ref name="ticycles">Ti Cycles, on Blakeley, behind U Village [http://tinyurl.com/yfb4ct Map]</ref> sells really nice (and proportionately expensive) bikes and parts. The price for labor (service), though, is comparable to other shops. They've been super nice and super helpful with advice. This is where I would go to have someone work on my bike.<br />
*'''Gregg's'''<ref name="greggscycles"/> sells a lot of road bikes, rents nice road bikes, and knows about road bikes. This is good to know in a world where mountain bikes seem more popular lately. A bit upscale.<br />
*'''Performance'''<ref name="super-go">Performance (formerly SuperGo), on 45th and Roosevelt [http://www.performancebike.com/] [http://tinyurl.com/yaw25m Map]</ref> carries discount (good price) new bikes and parts. See also online competitor '''Nashbar'''<ref name="nashbar">Nashbar Bikes, [http://www.nashbar.com]</ref><br />
*'''UW Surplus'''<ref name="uwsurplus">UW Surplus, [http://www.washington.edu/admin/surplus/]</ref> sometimes sells used bikes. In the fall, they have an auction where they sell bikes that were abandoned at UW over the summer. Prices depend totally on how many people show up and how excited they get about bidding, but it's possible to end up with a ridable bike for $5.<br />
*The '''HUB Bike Shop'''<ref name="hub">HUB Bike Shop, on the second floor of the Husky Union Building.</ref> is tops for convenient location and good prices. UW students and staff get a discount on parts, and this thus may well be the cheapest place to get new parts. The mechanics are UW students but as far as I've seen, they know what they're doing. They will also let you use their tools for free if you stop by when the shop isn't too busy. They've been helpful with helping me learn how to use the tools, too. If you're willing to do the work yourself, this is the cheapest way to get your bike fixed.<br />

'''Gregg's Cycles on Greenlake'''<ref name="greggscycles"/> and its two sister stores '''Aurora Cycles'''<ref name="aurora">Aurora Cycles, (Winona and Aurora, now a sister store of Gregg's Greenlake)</ref> and Bellevue (?) are excellent. Wide selection, and I've always gotten friendly help from the staff. For the three people in the department (including me) who care, Aurora Cycles also happens to be the best shop in Seattle for recumbent bicycles (and, in particular, comes recommended by the folks at Advanced Transportation Products who manufacture the Vision line).<br />

'''Gregg's Cycles on Greenlake'''<ref name="greggscycles"/> and its two sister stores '''Aurora Cycles'''<ref name="aurora">Aurora Cycles, (Winona and Aurora, now a sister store of Gregg's Greenlake)</ref> and Bellevue (?) are excellent. Wide selection, and I've always gotten friendly help from the staff. For the three people in the department (including me) who care, Aurora Cycles also happens to be the best shop in Seattle for recumbent bicycles (and, in particular, comes recommended by the folks at Advanced Transportation Products who manufacture the Vision line).<br />

While '''Recycled Cycles''' <ref name="recycledcycles">Recycled Cycles [http://www.recycledcycles.com/]</ref> is a good place to shop around, especially for used stuff, I have been happier with the service and selection at '''Montlake Cycles'''<ref name="montlakebike">Montlake Cycles [http://www.montlakebike.com]</ref>, in the Montlake neighbordhood, about a mile south of campus. They're extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Their mechanics do good work, and stand by it. Easily accessible on foot, or from the 43 or 48 bus. '''Gregg's Greenlake'''<ref name="greggscycles">Gregg's Greenlake [http://www.greggscycles.com/] [http://tinyurl.com/yfcyfs Map]</ref> is also pretty good.<br />

*'''Recycled Cycles'''<ref name="recycledcycles"/> sells used bikes and used bike parts. They're a good place to go if you want inexpensive parts. Their sales people are very knowledgeable and friendly. They've been very helpful to me with advice on how to do my own repair work with parts that I purchased from them. I unfortunately had a bad experience buying a used "refurbished" bike from them for $130. The bike had a bunch of stuff wrong with it, some attributable to it being an older bike, but some that should have been caught by a semi-competent mechanic if he'd given a damn and bothered to look. Their head mechanic is knowledgeable, so I think he just didn't bother to take the time to actually check the bike out. Since then, I don't buy anything expensive at Recycled unless I feel competent to assess its quality myself.<br />
*'''Ti Cycles'''<ref name="ticycles">Ti Cycles, on Blakeley, behind U Village</ref> sells really nice (and proportionately expensive) bikes and parts. The price for labor (service), though, is comparable to other shops. They've been super nice and super helpful with advice. This is where I would go to have someone work on my bike.<br />
*'''Gregg's'''<ref name="greggscycles"/> sells a lot of road bikes, rents nice road bikes, and knows about road bikes. This is good to know in a world where mountain bikes seem more popular lately. A bit upscale.<br />
*'''Super-Go'''<ref name="super-go">Super-Go, on 45th and Roosevelt</ref> carries discount (good price) new bikes and parts. Their sales people are not very experienced nor knowledgeable.

Gregg's Cycles on Greenlake<ref name="greggscycles"/> and its two sister stores Aurora Cycles<ref name="aurora">Aurora Cycles, (Winona and Aurora, now a sister store of Gregg's Greenlake)</ref> and Bellevue (?) are excellent. Wide selection, and I've always gotten friendly help from the staff. For the three people in the department (including me) who care, Aurora Cycles also happens to be the best shop in Seattle for recumbent bicycles (and, in particular, comes recommended by the folks at Advanced Transportation Products who manufacture the Vision line).<br />

While Recycled Cycles <ref name="recycledcycles">Recycled Cycles [http://www.recycledcycles.com/]</ref> is a good place to shop around, especially for used stuff, I have been happier with the service and selection at Montlake Cycles <ref name="montlakebike">Montlake Cycles [http://www.montlakebike.com]</ref>, in the Montlake neighbordhood, about a mile south of campus. They're extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Their mechanics do good work, and stand by it. Easily accessible on foot, or from the 43 or 48 bus. Gregg's Greenlake <ref name="greggscycles">Gregg's Greenlake [http://www.greggscycles.com/]</ref> is also pretty good.<br />

*Recycled Cycles<ref name="recycledcycles"/> sells used bikes and used bike parts. They're a good place to go if you want inexpensive parts. Their sales people are very knowledgeable and friendly. They've been very helpful to me with advice on how to do my own repair work with parts that I purchased from them. I unfortunately had a bad experience buying a used "refurbished" bike from them for $130. The bike had a bunch of stuff wrong with it, some attributable to it being an older bike, but some that should have been caught by a semi-competent mechanic if he'd given a damn and bothered to look. Their head mechanic is knowledgeable, so I think he just didn't bother to take the time to actually check the bike out. Since then, I don't buy anything expensive at Recycled unless I feel competent to assess its quality myself.<br />
*Ti Cycles <ref name="ticycles">Ti Cycles, on Blakeley, behind U Village</ref> sells really nice (and proportionately expensive) bikes and parts. The price for labor (service), though, is comparable to other shops. They've been super nice and super helpful with advice. This is where I would go to have someone work on my bike.<br />
*Gregg's<ref name="greggscycles"/> sells a lot of road bikes, rents nice road bikes, and knows about road bikes. This is good to know in a world where mountain bikes seem more popular lately. A bit upscale.<br />
*Super-Go<ref name="super-go">Super-Go, on 45th and Roosevelt</ref> carries discount (good price) new bikes and parts. Their sales people are not very experienced nor knowledgeable.

:Gregg's Cycles on Greenlake (www.greggscycles.com) and its two sister stores Aurora Cycles (Winona and Aurora) and Bellevue (?) are excellent. Wide selection, and I've always gotten friendly help from the staff. For the three people in the department (including me) who care, Aurora Cycles also happens to be the best shop in Seattle for recumbent bicycles (and, in particular, comes recommended by the folks at Advanced Transportation Products who manufacture the Vision line).<br />

While Recycled Cycles <ref name="recycledcycles">http://www.recycledcycles.com/</ref> is a good place to shop around, especially for used stuff, I have been happier with the service and selection at Montlake Cycles (http://www.montlakebike.com), in the Montlake neighbordhood, about a mile south of campus. They're extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Their mechanics do good work, and stand by it. Easily accessible on foot, or from the 43 or 48 bus. Gregg's Greenlake (http://www.greggscycles.com) is also pretty good.<br />

*Recycled Cycles sells used bikes and used bike parts. They're a good place to go if you want inexpensive parts. Their sales people are very knowledgable and friendly. They've been very helpful to me with advice on how to do my own repair work with parts that I purchased from them. I unfortunately had a bad experience buying a used "refurbished" bike from them for $130. The bike had a bunch of stuff wrong with it, some attributable to it being an older bike, but some that should have been caught by a semi-competent mechanic if he'd given a damn and bothered to look. Their head mechanic is knowledgable, so I think he just didn't bother to take the time to actually check the bike out. Since then, I don't buy anything expensive at Recycled unless I feel competent to assess its quality myself.<br />
*Ti Cycles (on Blakeley, behind U Village) sells really nice (and proportionately expensive) bikes and parts. The price for labor (service), though, is comparable to other shops. They've been super nice and super helpful with advice. This is where I would go to have someone work on my bike.<br />
*Gregg's sells a lot of road bikes, rents nice road bikes, and knows about road bikes. This is good to know in a world where mountain bikes seem more popular lately. A bit upscale.<br />
*Super-Go (on 45th and Roosevelt) carries discount (good price) new bikes and parts. Their sales people are not very experienced nor knowledgable. If you know enough about bikes to shop at Super-Go, you should also look online at http://www.nashbar.com.<br />
*UW surplus http://www.washington.edu/admin/surplus/ sometimes sells used bikes. In the fall, they have an auction where they sell bikes that were abandoned at UW over the summer. Prices depend totally on how many people show up and how excited they get about bidding, but it's possible to end up with a rideable bike for $5.<br />
*The bike shop in the HUB is tops for convenient location and good prices. UW students and staff get a discount on parts, and this thus may well be the cheapest place to get new parts. The mechanics are UW students but as far as I've seen, they know what they're doing. They will also let you use their tools for free if you stop by when the shop isn't too busy. They've been helpful with helping me learn how to use the tools, too. If you're willing to do the work yourself, this is the cheapest way to get your bike fixed.<br />

<br />
Disclaimer. Please bear in mind that these are excerpted/digested from uw-cs.grads newsgroup posts relevant to choosing mobile phone service. These messages do not represent anything beyond the personal opinions of the posters at the time of writing, and your experience might vary. (Feb 2004)<br />
<br />
<br />
====service availability in Allen Center====<br />
<br />
Since signal strength is a function of service provider ''and'' handset, please note your phone make and model with your report.<br />
<br />
* '''AT&T''': if you're new to mobile phone service, consider AT&T's prepaid plan. its 25cents/min, but if you barely use it, it's only $3.33/month. and, you can route your email to SMS for free, so it's like a cheap blackberry. (it's 10cents/sms to send). a good deal since AT&T has the best coverage in the allen ctr. [kepart, sep 2004]<br />
* '''Verizon''': works on Floors 1 and 6 (at least) [kasiaw]; also on Floor 4 and atrium [lizhang]<br />
* '''AT&T''': works fine, but weak signal [amol]; "performs very well...even some signal in parts of the upper basement" [spencer]; no signal in most of building [sbfan]; great (analog/AMPS) reception throughout building [karthikg via sbfan]<br />
* '''AT&T GSM''': 2--3 bars in Floor 4 office, up to 1 bar in breakout areas, no signal elsewhere. Now roams on Cingular (for free), gets reception in a few more places in the building. This experience comes from using a 1900Mhz phone, phones with 850/1900 should do better. [aliu]<br />
* '''T-Mobile''': "nothing but horrible coverage...in Allen and throughout Seattle" [antoine, Feb 2004]; "no reception inside the [new CSE] building" [kgajos, Feb 2004]; "With a T610 handset, I usually need to go to the 6th floor landing or Jaech to get signal. Signal seems fine around town, and if you travel in Europe, you can call cust. service to unlock the handset for free." [yasuhara, Sep 2004] I use T-mobile and have no trouble with reception (unless I'm in the basement of the medical center, which is despressingly common). [Peter Mork, Dec 2004] T-mobile works great in Allen center, no problem at all in 4th and 5th floor offices. [Tian Sang, June 2005]<br />
* '''AT&T''' is now '''Cingular''', and it still holds true that the old network gets great coverage and the new network gets awful coverage. [Lillie, Oct 2005]<br />
<br />
==Sprint==<br />
The following is excerpted from a bunch of email responses collected by one faculty member about Sprint...<br />
<br />
#No Sprint coverage around my office or in the EE lab on the west wing. Scarce coverage on upper floor the catwalks seeing the Atrium. No coverage as soon as you enter the Atrium through the main entrance. Ok coverage around Seattle and the US.<br />
#It's horribly awful. I get decent coverage on the sides of the buildings, when the windows are open and that's about it. I can talk on my phone in my current office, but couldn't in my 4th floor Atrium office last year. And, it's horrible dealing with them. But I think that's a fairly universal complaint (Cingular is supposed to be bad as well).<br />
#I can't tell you anything about service in Allen, since I left the department the year before the move. Sprint never had great coverage in Seig, but around town, they serve me well. That said, their customer service is awful. I originally was on a plan that let me go month-to-month after the first year and change anything I wanted to at that point. After a couple years, I went abroad for six months and put my coverage on hold to keep the number (at a cost of $5/month). When I returned, I had to sign a new contract. When I changed my service recently, I had to sign a 2-year contract again. If I want to change plans, I can do so, but my two years will start again.<br />
#Don't mess with them...they have the world's worst customer service and are difficult to deal with. My experience with their coverage is that it is also bad (but it is an old data point). I'm happy with my att gsm phone. It works in the building, although the quality of the signal varies from bad to mediocre.<br />
#doesn't work in the allen center. i've found it works in most cities, unless there is a mountain blocking it (had this problem in L.A.).<br />
#Coverage is not as good in the Allen Center: I get signal on the third floor but can't hold a conversation. It's fine on the fifth and sixth floors. I never had a problem with coverage around town or anywhere else I went.<br />
#i use sprint pcs. i find that it works well everywhere except the allen center. the only time i can get reception is when i am near a window.<br />
#I had Sprint PCS until a month ago, and it was terrible. No reception in the building (except a few parts of the 6th floor) or on large parts of campus. It was also bad over in Redmond, at the Microsoft campus. (It worked fine in St. Louis and Houston, though.) I switched to Cingular and have much better coverage now.</div>Rosehttp://abstract.cs.washington.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Mobile_phones_in_Seattle&diff=5262Mobile phones in Seattle2006-06-29T02:26:09Z<p>Rose: /* service availability in Allen Center */</p>
