If, like me, you find it annoying to have Time Machine start churning away when you're already employing your Mac's FireWire bus to transport bits to your Duet, then you're in luck. Time Machine Editor Let's you schedule backups when you want them rather than the default hourly behavior. Works fine for me so far, doesn't appear to perform any dodgy hacks and is free as in beer.

Searched for something very esoteric regarding headphone amps and was directed here. Liked it that people swore and were mean to each other, so I stayed.

Do you think they'd have much of a leg up on your Adams? I bought mine from a guy who knows a guy etc. who can get them for a lot less than the A7s run, anyway. Feel free to PM me for details.

Hate to sound like a 16-year-old virgin (or a 13-year-old virgin -- or wherever the kids are pegging the mean these days), but holy shit these are a LOT BIGGER than I thought they would be! Would have to say they also sound a whole lot fuller than the previous set, though since those occupied (charitably) a fifth of the volume, that's hardly a giant surprise. Viva overkill.

Got an "L" of a deal too. (Sorry.)

Forgive my clanking ignorance, but what are the input options for this build and can it be configured for balanced operation?

Yeah, sorry, the other options are phone functions (jump to favorites etc.) so it makes sense that the Touch doesn't offer then.

You can set that to do a few different things if you want. Settings --> General --> Home Button is the path.

Woot woot. iPhone 2.0.1 available now at an iTunes near you. Fingers crossed for less crashy, mainly.

Grilled lamb chops, corn, spinach salad.

Ah, but is it fully balanced?

Needs more boobies.

Been recording "Generation Kill" off HBO HD for a few weeks. Just started watching it. Fuck!

That's multitasking, baby!

What else is going on in your system at the time you hear the noise? Is it under heavy load from some other process?

^ You'd be right.

Signed up to Beta test a new standalone video processor. Predict much futzing with buggy firmware to follow. If it's any good in the end, though, I get to keep it at a quite reasonable fraction of retail.

That what the obstetrician said. I wish I'd taken him up on it.

Plus the AVI's have a built-in DAC. Very low tweak factor, which could be a plus or minus depending on how you roll.

Also, does the Macbook have a Firewire 800 port? The new high-speed Firewire protocol due in a few months will allow up to 3.2Gbps over current 9-pin cables, so that's shortly going to be a very nice option to have if you move a lot of data around.

Speaking as a shareholder, I can think of at least one quite compelling reason.

Ascend 170 are very nice bookshelf speakers at $350 new. They come up on Agon for a lot less. If you're using them nearfield, a $60 Sonic Impact T-Amp from Parts Express will get you to to earbleed levels.

PS: New version of iTunes in Software Update as of now. It is said that iPhone backups feel snappier.
