OK, then all is good.

Good luck Bryan.

Where were these phones located? I'm asking as neither Rudistor nor any of his US representatives registered as vendors.

@ Fitz - You were definitely more at ease at CanJam than at DanJam. I just attributed that to the fact that you did not have to think about spending another 10 hours in the car with Brent on the way back. Anyway, congratulations on figuring things out and sharing with us. Great seeing you again

Yep, visiting family-in-laws and taking Peter to Ninja Sushi for his birthday. Should be fun.

Nintendo DSLite for the upcoming 2 1/2 week trip to NY and SC.

Yep. My iPad is grandfathered in, so I will at least keep that going through the summer travel season.

Yeah, I have never had any problems with either EAC or Foobar. Just prefer the interface of dbpoweramp and I really like accurateRip and their album cover artwork feature, which has been significantly better in the latest revision.

The really cool kids arrived on Wednesday

If you are using dbpoweramp try the following. After Folder --> The actual drive and folder location you want to write the transcoded files too After Dynamic -->[iFCOMP][iFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],Various Artists[]\[album]\[track][artist][][iF!COMP][iFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[track] [artist][] - [title] That should put everything in folders by artist and then album name under artist. It will also group compilation albums under the "Various Artists" folder.

As others have said I am really appreciative that you two are comfortable enough with the loonies here to share personal details of your life. It really makes me appreciate this great community all the more. My only regret from the last weekend was not being able to spend more time with both of you. It was a real pleasure to finally meet you in person Steve and to see Shelly again and even talk a little math geek stuff. You guys are definitely the cool kids. So when is the Texas meet?

Dbpoweramp is definitely the way to go especially if you have a multicore processor. I usually go FLAC to ALAC but it has always worked flawlessly. Beefy pretty much nailed it concerning the batch interface and ability to do bit-perfect rips easily and quickly.

Feels good to be home. Not looking forward to unloading the car though.

Just getting ready to check out and drive back home. Also wanted to say thanks boys and girls for making the meet fun and enjoyable.

Heh

I am supposed to meet Duggeh and the Texas crew for lunch today so the more the merrier.

I love me the McCormacks. If mine had been a MID (which was what it was advertised as) instead of and MHD, Jim may have been McCormackless.

It is cool now in Chicago. I will be wearing shorts and Keen sandals but that is my normal attire unless the temps dip below 35 F. Fat pandas like it cool.

Just finished a nice light dinner and a few pints with our Scottish brethren. It has begun.

From what I have been told, the Hyatt is flat booked unless you happen to catch them during a cancellation. Our room block reservations expired on 5/21 so I do not even know what rate you can get. Also told that is the same story for almost every hotel in and around Chicago (at least the ones that book rooms by the day and not hour). There is some huge medical convention downtown that has been sucking up all the overflow.

No, but she had a nice personality.

The way I look at is that I no longer need to spend the premium bucks on a laptop. I can certainly set up a much more powerful desktop to run MATLAB and SAS and then use my iPad to remote into it from just about anywhere. I can also do that for as many machines as I want. That is slightly different approach to mobile computing, but one that I have found particularly liberating.

Looks like the chest x-rays were clear so the antibiotics are to make sure it doesn't progress to walking pneumonia.

Just finished having a chest x-Ray. Now waiting for an antibiotic prescription. Joy.

Happy birthday Chris
