  1. So... heavy snowfall and blizzard finally hit us. Last time wich I can remember it was this way is 15 years ago! 30cm snow in just a couple of hours is extremely unusual around here, I had real problems getting home from work today - had to give up my usual route and find another way home! I got there, and I'm NOT leaving :D

      yeah, snowmobile would be VERY handy these days! btw - my office is 25km away - cross country ski trip is SO out of the question ;). No - thank god for the internet - makes it possible to do at least some work from home! hehe.

      Unfortunately that's more or less the entire living room/bedroom area so it's not all cave :( The synth gear sits in a corner.

      hawk, u're doin it wrong man. Me and my wife has moved 2 times now, and the first room that get set up is the music room. Now I just gotta watch out and not get another kid while we live here in our current house, then - even I - have to be reasonable and give up the cave for kids room... so by the time we get another kid we will hopefully be moving into the house with my new cave. :)

      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

      I just ordered the 8pre. Pretty excited to see what it can do for me. I gave about nok 5100 incl. shipping ;) Pretty much the same price I would pay in a foreign webshop incl. taxes, vat and shipping. So I'm pleased.

      I have also been looking at RME, but @ this time it's too expensive for what I need. I suspect I will be all set for a while with the 8PRE ;)

  11. Trace tetris is like working the opposite direction of the universe! Trying to bring order to the chaos! :D

      Entropy rules, but just do the power and gnd runs first. The rest is "artistry"...

    2. technobreath

      technobreath

      Hehe, yes. Problem is that this is a linear multiple rail powersupply :D. Everything is power and ground runs :D hehe

      Termoplastic or fiberglass?

    3. technobreath

      technobreath

      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 :)

  14. Watching the opening trials for the norwegian shooter... pretty wierd to see how normal and well educated the man looks and sounds...

    1. jojjelito

      Terrible tragedy! They should put him in a room and then throw away the room.

    2. Hawkeye

      True true hawkeye. Turns out having a kid means a lot more presents in the trunk of the car at the end of the day. But no midiboxes. I saw this electronics kit fro kids though in the shop here the other day, but I looked at it and thought, nah - this is really cheap stuff... It's like buying a kid a plastic hammer - why not just get the kid a small real hammer. much better. :)

  16. What to do when fever / sore throat hit u? Keep midiboxing :D.

    1. jojjelito

      My little daughter was about ...I dont remember anymore ...but she had the "pampers" so full of poo that she started to seed little drops of shit in all the rooms...fortunately she saved the carpet :D

      Haha, u know that I ALWAYS put a picture up here when I did something, so I guess u are right, it didn't happen :D. Kid got sick the last days, so I had to do other stuff... but I have definetly given it a lot of thought ;).

  19. Wish I had a camera to show my prototype of a psu for 6582. It's made of cardboard and wires :P Cheap protoboard :D Don't know if I dare start it up though :P

      Started it up today. I gotta do something about the trafo, too high voltage. The DC at the 2200uF reads 23V, or I gotta get me some 18V regulators or something to get it down a bit before the 5,9 and 12v regulators. I already used a 7812 in series before the 7805. But at least without load it worked very well, but I expect the temp to raise a lot with load especially led matrix, so I gotta do something...

    3. technobreath

      technobreath

      I didn't want to try to load the PSU as all the components is stuffed through cardboard - fire in livingroom :P

  20. Wow! Upgrades! This looks NICE. Where is teh pp donation buttons?
