does this mean i can have the menace? a man can dream cant he. good luck on the project nate, i shall be reading for inspiration even if i dont understand it all.

thanks a ton for the link nate, i farted around on his website on other pages but didnt come across a link to all the videos. watching a few now, and they seem to be extremely helpful to someone as clueless as me. will watch them all and read more, probably over the next few weeks before i get down to building anything =/ if only i could download a buncha information into my brain like they do in the matrix and start building already. if only...

oooh i have a drill and a buncha drill bits...i used to be a pc modder so did a lot of case work for myself and other people at school. come to think of it, i just need a wire stripper, forgot i brought my tool box back with me. well a wire stripper and a multimeter. forget the cost. i hadnt really thought about the whole thing before i posted. i apologise for that. ruling out a cmoy was a stupid decision as well. if i were to relax the budget to $150 do i have many other options? just learnt about headwize, so this question may get answered there upon further reading. after a little thinking, a cmoy seems to be the most appropriate place to start now. any thoughts or suggestions? pitfalls? things i should keep in mind before i get parts? things i should keep in mind before i pick up a soldering iron and burn my house down? ps. nate, i just scored "the art of electronics" by horowitz. its 88mb, if you are interested lemme know. pps. only reason i had for posting that budget was...well if i had any more money id get a pair of headphones before i go around building stuff. which is how i came up with the $100 figure. i just dont feel like doing nothing over the next 3 weeks which is why i thought of getting into diy but seems like i dont have the financial freedom to get into it yet. lame...

i have the next 3 weeks to kill before school starts again. id like to do something productive with my time. i dont know anything about electronics (well i know a little but assuming that i dont know even that will probably be safer for me). i would like to start working on either an amp or a dac that is fairly easy to build. cost is a slight issue so the whole thing should be less than $100 including tools. i already have a soldering iron but no solder. also, i dont know how to read a schematic, much less know how to plan out the layout of the build, so step by step instructions would be highly appreciated. pictures would go a long way too. lastly, id like to build something that i can actually use, not something that is so insignificant that would be a waste of time even if it is a good learning experience.

while it may not be you, i find it hard to think of anyone else who would send me 2 pms on headfi from different accounts saying "this is an interesting pm, interesting to cj that is." while it was funny for a while and i appreciated the humor at my expense, it is no longer cute since it requires me to actually do something to delete a nonsensical pm from my mailbox. unlike headcase, headfi doesnt give me a billion pm's so i have to clean it out every so often. i wish you would stop. do it all you want in the chat, i dont care but if i have to take the time to actually do something about it, then imo, i have something bitch about. take this to be another immature rant by a 22 year old that sounds like it was written by a 16 year old if you like, i dont care. however what hydrocity is doing here is just downright childish and juvenile if not simply annoying (not counting the fact that someone spent time to make 2 accounts on headfi just to send me those pm's...dont you have better things to do with your time?).

jeez man, i was just messing with you. legally i cant move out on my own if my dad says otherwise. my greencard was sponsored by him so any legal document i sign, i have to have his "yes" first. as a result moving out presents more legal issues than financial ones. at any rate, ill figure something out so i dont bother you fine people agian.

well sounds like pj had a fun weekend

called a few places today, shall go apartment hunting on wednesday. if this whole thing goes south, im coming after you matt anyone do something special this weekend? bbq with the family or perhaps a short vacation? ps. in light of my sudden enlightenment of this thread's uselessness, feel free to delete it. hopefully the web space can go to a less stupider thread.

this just turned from a poor experience to downright retarded. just got home after i protested to a rather stupid move on my parents' part. (both of them are indian fyi) on thursday i wanted to eat out someplace nice but my dad kept saying oh no, its orlando, all restaurants are open late blah blah blah and i kept telling him most of them close at 10:30pm so the night we got there i had to eat frozen microwaveable crap from walmart because everything else was closed. i was also promised that over the course of the next few days i would be treated to someplace "nice." i figured maybe some grill or steakhouse where i could order a nice juicy steak and pretend to be eating a really well done chicken breast and my parents could have seafood. come friday, my dad got sick after the first ride he took and consequently spent the rest of the day having a conversation with the food he had had the previous day. as a result, we missed the big fireworks show on the 4th but he was sick so i didnt care as much. sat i was promised that after the park closed we would spend some time at city walk and visit a live music and dinner place and guess what happened...we are too tired blah blah blah. it was too late again to eat out so i had to resort to corn flakes that i had brought with myself. oh and just before we came home i inquired as to my feast since this whole trip was my treat. being a college student with a crapton of loans, being able to pay for the whole weekend was a pretty freaking big deal for me and i was hoping for them to have a good time since they had never been to someplace that nice. going back to the part about them being indian, its fairly obvious that we eat indian food every freaking day. after 2 days of putting up with their excuses and pretty much walking around a theme park alone which was LOADS of fun. i was woken up from my nap only to find that the "nice" restaurant that the 2 of them had picked was a run down indian shack with poor service and god awful food. at that point my patience ran out and i revolted. what was so wrong of me to request that we not eat the same food we have every single day. i refused to go in but in stead of getting a ride to a different restaurant, i received an hour long lecture about how i had forgotten my indian culture and i had stopped respecting my parents and had grown "non - indian." grahame, i understand what you are saying but you cant quite honestly call that a good day in the grand scheme of things. i dont regret taking them but just like boomana, i certainly wont be offering to do so anytime in the near future. to team florida - as long as you gents and lady dont suggest an indian joint to eat at, i will probably be game. knowing that you lot party into the wee hours of the morning, i also dont think id be worried about having to leave early. rather im worried about having to keep up with you name me the time and place and given enough time to plan ahead, i shall try to make it (provided mike gives me a ride again )

"there is no such thing as fun for the whole family." dad was too big of a wimp to go on any rides after his first one. mom didnt want to make him wait outside alone so she stayed with him. i was left to stand in lines for hours at a time because i didnt want to sit around doing nothing. all in all, seemed like the usual family holiday. ps. my sister is in india currently. seems as if she lucked out by not being here.

i was told people were really nice on this board...i didnt know they were this nice.

so while driving back from school with my dad (picked him up from his office on the way home) we were talking about fireworks on 4th of july and i jokingly suggested that we take a trip to orlando and spend some time at the theme parks. oddly enough he said yes. neither of my parents have ever been there so it should be a great trip. going to leave tomorrow after my classes and then come back on sunday. looking forward to a good time.

thanks to the warm welcome everyone. just what i needed - another website that will tell me to spend my money on things. the chat room is certainly a very nice feature that i liked instantly. long time no see voltron. sarasota was a wild ride and i wish i had started drinking because right now i remember all the things that happened in fairly vivid detail. oh the travesties! the shit posting was just done in jest so hopefully you or jpnums didnt take away from it any more than what we intended it to be - childish thread crapping hope to see you again sometime in the near future good sir. im trying to find a way to get my butt to the dc meet but doesnt seem to promising right now. thanks to everyone again for the red carpet reception. not sure it was required but it is certainly appreciated.

bread is eaten by weaklings. i eat whole grain straight out of the ground.

as the title says. just joined headcase after quite a bit of persuasion on team floridas part. wanted to say hello. so...hello gene just broke a glass in his kitchen and mike remarked, "we are repeating canjam again" and that was just the beginning of the night >< here i thought i was going to get some sleep =/
