Life as a cat must be nice

I love Dire Straits, and I'm not an old Dad. Just old. My very first construction job was with BLM in Anchorage circa 1979. I was building small warehouses for them, making $15 an hour, and Sultans of Swing was new on the radio. Life was good!

A small step towards a balanced Raal UberAmp setup. Completed a balanced smd (mostly) driver board today. Size 99mm x 35mm (3.9in x 1.4in). Two through hole unbalanced driver boards for comparison.

Sleep. Eat (only if it meets your standards). Sleep some more. Someone rubs your happy places. Knock around a toy for show. Repeat.

94 seconds of Mozart: Allegro in D Major, K.626b/16 " performed by Seong-Jin Cho yesterday in Salzburg. I heard the piece today, tvice, on BBC Radio 3.

Not just plain white vinyl

Audiophile Abbott and Costello! Who's playing on the turntable? Yes..... Yes is on the turntable? No, Who. That's what I'm asking!

Very cool! I don't spend enough time exploring my Seaboard Rise 49 but it never fails to inspire new ideas when I do. I'm a big fan of wavetable synthesis. I've been using Serum for about a year now. It's great for solving the issue of creating unique patches. I realize that the listening public could care less (or might even prefer) that a sound in your track might be identical to one that they've heard a hundred times before but we are supposed to be creating originals right? Anywho, I'm not sure how Deluge will sample wavetables but you can find a gazillion 1 sec .wav samples meant to be used by Serum online (google Serum Wavetables) or grab a cheap digital recorder and collect organic samples from the great big world. Either way, nothin' but fun IMHO!

How did I never know about Eaze.com?

Even better, add another album to the mix...

Finished. Damned good show!

The fence cannot be locked down without these. It is not the clamp but the twist lock handles that lock the fence in place. I could use the router free handed I guess. Spoke to Patty, parts are coming, I assume on the back of a Caribou, to finish it out.

You can still use that router and fence without clamps and feather boards, etc. Just sayin'

Check out Kevin's (Dr. Gilmore) current feedback electrostatic amp if you are looking for a compact and first DIY project. I suggest it because it's easy to build, low cost with very simplistic power supply requirement and, more importantly, a very nice sounding solid state amp that uses all current production parts.

Don't forget Queen Hippolyta

Nice white vinyl

https://youtu.be/sy4o5VZJmU0 Heck. I can't wait for this Deluge firmware update. We're getting wavetable synthesis, MPE support, and a couple of other cool things that I can't recall atm. This instrument and this company, are the best.

Yes, that is correct.

The other big release this week... https://m.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-gfx-100s-initial-review https://jonasraskphotography.com/2021/01/27/fujifilm-gfx100s-gf80mm-f1-7-first-look-more-than-full-frame/

I have two REL subs for HT/audio playback. They are fast and responsive and booming as needed for movies. I have two different sizes in SF and Mayberry but both accomplish the job.

the 116170LN GMT2 has been on my wrist for the last few days, after an absence. I would take advantage of the Rolex steel sports watch boom (bare watches are going for crazy prices, and I have box and papers and receipt) if it weren't just such a fucking good watch, and super comfortable.

I spent several days transferring ~25MB of data off a 1991 IBM PS/2 Model 30/286 that had a broken floppy drive. I ended up using a Tripp Lite USB to Serial adapter and a null modem cable. Man, does late 80s/early 90s technology make you feel like it's actually doing something. The PS/2's fan (singular) is loud AF. The HDD is loud AF and makes a very distinct noise on every read or write. Also text based modem software looks the way Hollywood portrayed anything computer related ...until well into the 00s.

Many probably have this with your HBO subscription, but Apple (and maybe others) have the Chernobyl series on sale for $9.99 right now. That's bang for buck. https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/chernobyl/id1460716823?mt=6&at=11lJXm
