Can you get a Synology NAS and load it with SSDs? The other reason to go SSD is for less moving parts noise. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

Birdeatsbaby, Feast of Hammers -- this is great -- cabaret rock in the mode of Dresden Dolls, with some other instruments (so: femme vox, piano, drums, bass, violin and vocals)...I'll definitely be checking out their other albums. They were recommended to me by Spotify by way of Pitchfork's similarities engine (I think) because I listened to Scarling and Magneta Lane, both of which I did indeed like. But I have to admit, I wouldn't have gone there. But if it's based on other people with the same tastes, I've gotta say, it worked. It doesn't always, but damn, this is a find.

Corelia, Nostalgia (Instrumental) -- this is sublime -- think nu-metal without the horrid vocals, and then progify it. Change change change change change... And fucking tight.

They certainly seem priced at the it's-the-most-expensive-therefore-it-must-be-the-best crowd. I.E., "this".

This sentence is correct.[/grammar police] This sentence is less than perfect.[/the lesser known capitalization police]

It looks like you can tighten the screws on that one. You know, like a torture device. 1.5 lbs.?!?!? What's it made out of, cast iron?

Gazpacho, Andando por Las Ramas -- I really like both Gazpacho's, the prog band and this one, the latin pop one.

I need to get that SACD -- it's kind of hard to play vinyl with computer.

Testing surround channels: "om nom nom nom nom..." "om nom nom nom nom..." "om nom nom nom nom..." "om nom nom nom nom..." "om nom nom nom nom..."

ORLY?

Happy for you Steve. I hope things turn out well for him Mike. Me: sold the Lancer. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

_______________v-- 2. "I'm not. You can call me, 'Matt'." 1. "Hey, we're all buffed." I never got the purple one. Also, they moved the server out of the office, and me back into the office. Also, I leave when they turn the A/C off. I do some work from home in the evenings. I did end up getting the Equators, but they are only mildly portable. Good for gigs and weekend warrior type situations, but I wouldn't want to have to lug them back and forth every day. They do, however, sound really good for $300 powered monitors. They actually do sound twice as good as the half-as-expensive Fostex pm0.4n's. Albeit, less blurple. And the Quads definitely sound more refined, although not twice as refined. So it seems that (at least, for me), somewhere between $300 and the Quads are the sweet spot. I'll stick with headphones at work for now. Equators are for music-making; Fostexes are for background listening; Quads are for movie-watching and listening to SACD's in the bedroom.

Anyone have any opinion on MaximalPower (see Purk's ^ post) vs. HiTech (600mAh)? Should I just stick with the one that 25 Amazon customers rated at 4.6 and is cheaper? Or should I go for that additional 50mAh, and the less non-black? Purk, how is yours standing up? The best performance is always with the first charge, in my experience.

I can't read Delaware, does that say Dogfish Head, or Dupont? Wow, that really doesn't translate well. Хороший день, чтобы умереть == "Good day, in order to die" line below == apple from the apple tree (okay, that was good) Крепкий орешек == toughie -- no, I'm not saying it's tough to translate, I'm saying it translates as "toughie", or "tough nut to crack" or, literally, "tight nutlet".

Karen Souza & Stella Starlight Trio -- bunch of different jazz lounge covers, some of these translate really well ("Creep", "Strawberry Fields Forever").

Ear-speakers!

Dude, you need to quit being so aggressive with the Q-tips.

I'm picturing Spritzer in front of a sewing machine, cursing, because leather always fucks up the needle or jams the thread.

Just finished some yummy pho from Pho N More, and a froyo smoothie chaser from Red Mango.

Hannibal Fuck, this is good. Hannibal: "Next time, please bring your wife, I'd love to have you both for dinner." Also, an exchange between morticians over a set of very grisly homicides: "Sugar water -- recovering alcoholics crave it." (directs next statement at fellow mortician) "Don't take that personally, buddy." Other moritician: "Oh, I'm not recovering." and the way he says it, it's like he was, but now he's not. Ever. And in case anyone doesn't know the premise of the show, this is Hannibal Lecter prequel, before he was found out, so he's a functioning psychologist...with a secret.

...AND macadamia nuts. Noice!
