i haz a sad just sat here in my office and graded shit for 8 hours straight after sitting for a 3.5 hour exam. i want my vacation damnit anyhow, have a good time guys. wish i were there to not drink.

tron soundtrack. just got it. very nice. normally dont go for the daft punk stuff but mixed in with soundtrack-y music, it sounds cool

bleh. going to unsubscribe this thread now. meet hasnt even started and i am already jealous looks like its going to be a good time.

definitely sitting this one out turns out even the chair doesnt want to go up against dr. douche. god damnit. apparently having a phd in the algebra from chicago during the algebra dream era counts for a lot. have fun guys. =/

all the grad exams end this wednesday so all the international students are flying out on thursday and all the ones from us already said they will be out of town/not on campus and therefore dont want to do it. i emailed the chair about this nonsense a few hours ago. lets see what he says. if he says i have to do it then no meet for me dr. douche just didnt like the idea of me not following his instructions to the dot and now that he knows i had plans he is trying to screw me over more by saying that he only wants me to proctor...cant believe people can be such butts at times.

i didnt ask the undergrad to grade them for me. just proctor which requires him to sit there and do nothing if he pleases.

i fucking hate tenured professors... anyone driving up on saturday night by any chance? might have to miss this one as well. =/ paid an undergrad $60 to proctor an exam an asshole of a professor wanted me to proctor for him because he doesnt want to do it himself. douchenozzle professor found out and just came to my office with my phd contract saying that proctoring was part of my duties...arguing with him about what difference it made if i did it or an ugrad did it made things worse. should have kept my mouth shut. unless i can get the chair involved which at this stage i will because i am not just proctoring for him but grading his fucking final as well, im screwed out of yet another meet told him i already had plans and had booked plane tickets as well and he responded with, "well now you know better than to make academics your second priority." fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu i hereby give all hc members the authority to kill me if i ever become this kind of professor.

the prices arent bad at all. i just have issues with anyplace that doesnt let me wear shorts.

what fitz said.

never heard a gs1. that would be nice. actually i have never heard any of the gear listed shelly but i think ben said he could bring the 800. not sure though. i think shelly's is maybe the 3rd post in 460 about gear

that rules me out. only shorts and sneakers here. grahame id like the floor if peter is ok with it peter?

just figured out how to get the remote to work. have to remove the back panel from the remote and remove a tab that is prevent the battery circuit from completing. both remote and dac seem solid. kinda wish that werent the case. one the guys around here just got his bike stolen...oh well. the thing is cheap enough to where i could get two. but that would be a waste. might get another desk and put all the audio stuff underneath that one to hide it. sonically i like it. if memory serves me well, its faster than the parasound 1100 and gamma 2. one of the better sources ive heard. yes i know ive been using my laptop as a source.

very very very nice dac. waaaaaaay nicer bass than gamma 2 based on 10 minutes of listening. sounds faster/more nimble. can now hear things i wasnt hearing with the sound card. (using usb + foobar). build quality is pretty nice. only wish i could get the damn remote to do something =/

Same as you minus the biking part. And the working part. I don't really know heh. Submitted my dissertation this semester. Taking 3 classes and teaching 7 so busy. Very busy. Good to see you posting again.

Oh shit it's Chris. Wassup dood

Real phd candidates need no direction. They just have speed, no velocity

I buy the poster. Group buy anyone?

Hey hey hey...we aren't just pieces of meat. Some of us have feelings too.

Received shipping info today. Dac should arrive on the third. In my hands on the 4th hopefully.

bloody hell its gene's birthday. happy birthday gene! hope you have a good one.

Same joke was used in the movie Kinsey. I quite liked it.

i was? i mean...yeah...someone told me to do it.

nate, i didnt want to have two dac's around (even though i should have kept the gamma around for comparison and sold the "loser"). meh. gamma 2's are readily available so not terribly hard to secure. janna called me back when i was in class and left me a voicemail saying that she confused me with the other anurag that had also placed an order (...eh? more people named anurag?) and my dac will ship tomorrow or day after but the other guys will not. basically confirmed what mike posted earlier in the day. now this pico dac deal...hmm

just spoke with janna at emotiva. a certain number of people who have been contacted already will receive the dac this year. those of us who preordered but did not give payment info fast enough will be informed of the shipping date next financial quarter. i dont see this dac getting to me anytime before next summer at the very least. thought i was going to get it now and preemptively sold my gamma 2 dac now no dac. should i just buy something else and forget about the emotiva dac?

Happy bday zoe
