...of overtime BEFORE the vacation, not afterwards. Then the workload won't pile up at all, and we all win! yay! Antix - that's why u got more mb6582s than me :P

LOL TB.

Unfortunately I work a lot but the money is less than I expect....no Virus for me this year :(

What's up everyone? I've been away for months, too, after a busy spring and summer of building. Still not quite ready to stafrt building again, but hopefully soon.. month or so.

Better make sure that FB, G+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and such don't eat all your time.

Nao friend count is under 200 :D. Now it won't take much of my time no longer :P

If some of u was victing of my FB unfriending knife, I didn't mean to, it was just because I didn't remember ur real name :).

Nice one! All I'm saying is don't let the kids see if you pass Flensburg in a car... Doesn't compute in English, but the cheese made there isn't nice...

hehe

What is GAS?

Gear/Guitar Acquisition Syndrome.

Now everything is clear.

Now when that's settled, count me in. No fund raising from my side though, after all, we're in it for the free stuff :P

The campaign is about leading by example, not fundraising :P

Hehe.

no soldering in the summer, you did it right! :-) (let´s not talk about the weather, hehe)

I know the feeling. Some things are not immediately in front of you, thus they don't get done.

Yes, there is actually... It's two steps. Step one: Get lots of money from a guy who u barely met, step two: Go to webshop of ur taste and order the laptop. ;). that's the short version :).

Can you elaborate on how step one was done? :D

Hehe. Yes I can, but I'm not sure it fits the profile of this site, so u got to ask me privately, and then maybe if I know u well enough, u can haz the entire story :P. lol

very cool! can recommend the purchase of a standalone sd audio recorder for gig recording, they are getting cheaper every day and are more reliable than crashy laptop sounddrivers :)

Yups! Get a dedicated audio recorder or a Nagra if you want to flash.

hehe, yes, computer interfaces has it's glitches and pops, no doubt about that! We might have to look into something like that later on. We have had a playing break for a long time while people build houses and raise babies :P. Now we're almost back, with a couple of new members. So it's still rusty - like in dirt brown colored rust! :P

yeah, borrowing ftw :) a friend just "borrowed" a quadcopter, otherwise he could not justify it and his girlfriend, who desperately wants to go to australia for holidays would have kicked his better parts :)

Hehe, I went out after she went to bed, took it upstairs to the studio and unboxed it, and hid it in plain view on the desk :) She has no idea what gear I have anyway, but a new box comming inside from my car - that she would see through :P. Next I'm gonna borrow myself the new laptop :P

Haha, secret agent mode !

Hey, Wahat is this new keyboard on your desk ? hummmmmmm something a friend lend to me.... Who ? Hummmmmmmm you see that i washed all the house yesterday....

Sounds like your typical mobile/cell phone past its prime :(

suddenly the screen locked up, and I pulled the battery, now the screen is black... Well well. no big deal when I got a couple of hours thinking :P. Today I got a rent phone for free while I send mine @ repair. Good to service it now and then :P.

Wow, didn't realize you could get touch in that size! That's why I use the 12" screen... It's got the wacom pressure sensitive pen and touch. (it's not dedicated to music.. just my general laptop) I think it's silly to purchase a computer w/out touch, these days.

nice one, it will be great for battlefield, too :)

awwwww, u just gave me withdrawls.. Battlefiled 1942 was the only game I ever really got in to!

good times! I remember a certain game @ my c64 which easily left a broken joystick behind :D

winter games on the atari 800xl, as a kid and not understanding electronics, i built a mechanical joystick wiggler out of lego - only the joystick left/right microswitches were triggered and it went pretty fast :)

I remember having 5-6 broken joysticks for my C64 (always 2 working, though :) )

Termoplastic or fiberglass?

fiberglass :). Gelcoated that is. CS is special, it's gonna be coated with hexcel texalium cloth (which looks like blue carbon fiber cloth) covered by epoxy.

thanks for the documentation, will be also interesting for model plane builders :)

What was up w/ that? Was a sad day w/out midibox :)

Yeah, that was strange. Phew :) Back to normal.

it was good for productivity, but me was sad :(

now thats a proper salad centrifuge - also good for drying your wet cat :) http://www.robatel.com/images/products/Food-pic-2lg.jpg

For bigger cats? http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/33316/1354661-november.par.18223.image.400.310.1_super.gif :D

heheheh *evil grin* :)

hehe, let´s hope she does not read this :)

Don't incite the rebellion :D

Don't wake the mob huh? :).

Im thinking about having a 19" panel made.. just have the controls over to one side.. the dead space behind the other part of the panel would be where the aouts and filters get mounted. I'm wanting everything to fit in a rack so I can transport it w/out too much effort...

I have also thought of doing a rackmount, but I scrapped it as it won't fit my gig needs very good - I need the controls in front of me together with the master keyboard, and that doesn't work too good with a rackmount. But I might consider doing a rack mount for the FM when I build that.

Yay! Julian F makes kick-ass high quality panels :) Have fun!

yes, the old ones were so rusty, it was fun! The only problem was to get the brake cylinder back, as i could not bleed it (bleeder rusted, too), once again brute force (and some tools) helped :)

yep, and here's the secret - the bleeder aint there to help get the piston back either ;) - it is only there to bleed air out of the system in case u change pipes or in some other way have to disconnect pipes. The correct way to do is to use some tools and brute force :D hehe.

hehehe :-D

Yeah, J is right. I would rather have a PC, and I have pre ordered the raspberry pi some time ago, and that will probably become the real media center when it is up and running. Meanwhile I'm pretty happy with the samsung all-share thingy ;).

Right now I'm trying to minimize the stuff I have under my TV, because the kid is too fond of remote controls and cables nowdays :P. But the PI can be attached behind the tv with dualsided tape :P hehe

I intend to get a Pi to replace my car stereo. I may end up using another as a home media player - if I can persuade it to run MythTV frontend.

Take a break and listen to some music? Eat chicken soup :)

ah, get better soon! :)

I uploaded a couple of pics for you to see ;). Not the biggest studio room, but it's all I can afford to reserve for my stuff for the time being :P

you have lotsa space for moar synths :) lucky you :)

hehe. Well, I have the two SID synths comming around, and possibly a FM too in the not so distant future. Then I probably need to buy another smallish keyboard controller too :P

Uhm ... they have interesting pots and knobs for my 9090 and very affordable. ;)

Electrokit.se, but that's domestic for me :)

Cool.

its called Murphy´s Law (which in fact again only emphasizes the concept, that you note the things that have gone wrong more than the things have gone right, e.g. that your kid did not wake up at 3.00 am screaming "daddy, i cannot sleep, can you?" :)

Mmm, I still hadn't gone to bed at 03:00 this morning. So, I'm Murphy resistant. Us undead ppl never sleep.

Hehe hawk, I guess you're right. But still... :D

I fear this topic is too sensitive to be @ facebook where she can see it too :D LOL.

n1 - rofl

heheh :)
