YA RLY.

Flickr has redone their photo page layout. It's a "preview" right now. It just futzed with it, and it's awful. Every action takes more clicks now, and a lot info is hidden. Tags a jumble, the date taken and uploaded aren't show. "Too clever by half" would be an improvement.

Image resizing that works will be teh awesome.

Thanks, glad you like them. I have a couple more I've edited that I'll get around to posting later. TBH, my tripod isn't a very good one. It's a $150 Manfrotto. I find it to be a PITA to use, especially in the dark, but it does enable me to take shots I couldn't otherwise.

After futzing with them sufficiently, that's quite possibly how I will purpose the UP1203s. The ThingFling site is now Outlawed, meaning it's down.

A pair of Unisound UP1203s. The first step in conquering a problem is admitting that you have one. I can quit anytime I want to. Stop judging me.

Thingfling is having their version of a woot-off. Right now it's a pair of unisounds with ~18 minutes left: https://www.thingfling.com/

Poe's Law applies to high end audio, I swear.

At this point I have ruled out any of the Adcoms, as well as the particular Bryston and B&K amps I linked to, as they are either sold or expired. I really don't want to invest in an amp that is 10 or more years old. The Stratos (Plus) is still on the table, and of course the Emotivas. I can now confirm that the sodding blue LED meters can be turned off, which is wise the part of the company. Just to add to the confusion, Outlaw has crashed their site again put their entire line of multichannel amps on sale. Including the looney tunes 300Wx7 model 7900. Even at the $1050(!) discount, that beast is out of my price range. Also, I'd need to hire an electrician to wire two new circuits to the living room. Also also, I could barely move the damn thing. I'd be like the hassle of owning a Krell, without actually owning a Krell. I wish Outlaw made 2 or 3 channel amps with 200 or 300WPC. I probably shouldn't be biased against it, but their Model 2200 200W monoblock really doesn't appeal to me. I'd like to audition a class D amp. I've never heard one properly, and I like the idea of their efficiency and lack of heat dispersion. When I went into Spearit Sound and asked about them last year, I was greeted with snobbery and derision. In 2010 an "audition" often means buying the unit in question and then selling it if it doesn't meet expectations. Other than Rotel, any H-Cers have any suggestions on manufactuers models of quality class D home amps?

Ding ding ding!

Maybe this will help:

Cool, what are you gonna drive with it? Center channel, I presume.
