Have a birthday, Todd! (party favour noise)

NuForce Icon DAC -- cheapest option yet

Alas, I am not...

Lollers, that's particularly funneh coming from you.

It's the Italian Black Sabbath tribute band.

Batman does not listen to music, much less on headphones -- it would prevent him from hearing Alfred sneaking up on him.

I saw its existence, that's about all I can say. If I had the dosh, it'd be worth trying.

I'm sending that to all my friends -- I have bitchy resting face.

Congrats!

Finished Proven Guilty (his best yet), started White Night. Still working on Dark Monk. Also, portions of various LDAP references.

What often happens is, the touring company release the space that they will take up with speakers, mixing desk, lighting, and the venue can then release any seats that aren't blocked. The final doesn't usually get released until just before the show -- sometimes at the beginning of the tour, sometimes the night before, etc. I've had good luck with that too, but it has to be a show I don't care if I miss or not, because sometimes everyone else knows this too, depending on their popularity on BBs, etc.

Hey hey hey not everyone's part translates to acoustic. He's probably the drummer or the synthesist. No seriously, that appears to be Ulf. (I was right, synthesist.)

Yeah, don't hold your breath. I mean, not unless you can hold it for two weeks. The dock has been in stock more than not ever since a couple months after all our promotions expired.

Sounds delicious, Colin.

Yeah. But I noticed an oddity today -- I plugged in a HRT MusicStreamer II, and it didn't work, even though it saw a USB device connected. Rebooted the phone and it worked (I knew it worked because it had worked before). So it may not just be a matter of plugging it in. I've seen multiple reports that USB Audio Recorder Pro will work in cases that stock software and UI will not.

That's like the unofficial Head-Case Enablers Unanimous shirt.

Well, I need another solution for Note II -> USB OTG cable -> USB DAC -> etc. (amp, headphones, whathaveyou). If I run towards the ends of my battery life, I need access to that orifice to charge, so I either need a Y cable a la this (except Note II, though I'm not sure that isn't going to be exactly the same thing) or the dock (which is 10x more expensive, but I was planning on getting anyway for the HDMI functionality -- but technically I could just get another Y cable that did HDMI for that, and I'd still be up US$80. But I still wouldn't have multiple USB functionality, so I guess what I'm asking is -- talk me into or out of getting the dock, please. And...go.

By 'sci-fi', they probably mean 'sci-fi/fantasy'. And yes, it's much better. X-Files got kind of repetitive. Mulder: "Scully, you're not going to believe this explanation..." Scully: "I am skeptical." (turns away) (something happens that corroborates the supernatural explanation, that only Mulder gets to see) Mulder: "Did you see that?" Scully, turning back around: "No, I missed it." -- pretty much half the episodes (with Mulder and Scully), and I'm not even going to address the seasons with less Mulder. That was just a horrible way for a show to die off.

Yes, it's outstanding. Actually got me to stop watching Hit & Miss, even though I only have two more episodes to go. Will probably finish OitNB first.

I didn't post because I couldn't figure out how to say this, so...this! Also the writing on the entirely made up topics was pretty phenomenal too (being revived after dying, being a monster and yet not, etc.). Even the humor was worked in in such a way that it was "real" -- I.E. they weren't gags, like Monty Python or Get Smart, but rather they were...er...it was humor that the characters within the show generated, and whether or not you found it funny is the only thing that made it comedy. And I'll say -- I was late to the show, didn't discover it until after it was over, at which point I was over 40, and I still found the show to have excellent writing.

I'll admit, I'm kind of surprised Mary Tyler Moore ranked as highly as it did on both lists.

Happy belated! (waits for the invention of time travel in order to go back in time and make party favour noise)

I will admit, I've given up on doing this, so haven't done it in years.

Happy birthday, Antonio! (party favour noise)
