Congrats Jim

Fingers crossed that he's able to fix it cheaply and effectively and Ollie is back to his old self quickly!

For sure.

Happy Birthday!

cool on all the tablets. I'm currently pretty pissed about the Motorola caused Atrix bug where I can't use anything that uses the microphone... hope they fix it soon. I would like to be able to skype in Toronto in a few weeks.

Second payment on my shed project. Now 1 more when it's all done

Colin that sounds awesome Our trip to europe has been cancelled (I'm still going but for work) because I need the vacation days for our kid's arrival in the fall Small price to pay and all that..

Another run capacitor for my heat pump that is exactly like the one I'm replacing (shape as well as spec). I got one and installed (the specs were right) it for now but it's the wrong shape so I ordered another one that appears to be correct. Probably a waste but better than having the AC service company tell me I've ruined their warranty or some such

As an FYI: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking-prompts-privacy-fears probably being done by mistake but still a pretty stupid mistake

Really sorry to hear about the layoff That sucks big time.

Interesting? http://www.wellesleywinepress.com/2008/11/long-awaited-blind-tasting-vinturi-vs.html

Yup just hook up your monitor, keyboard and mouse.... It just has a larger mac sized "power" brick...

Happy Birthday!

A new shifter for my backup bike after I snapped the shift padde off the bike in the last 5 miles of my ride in WV yesterday. Fucking thing was shifting like crap so I though pushing harder may help.... it didn't

Well this is audio and I'd guess more than 50% of things aren't done right commercially. That said nothing that "El Doug" said was wrong or deserving of a "are you sure you understand what you're talking about?"

AC/heat unit and special order door for the backyard office, now all I need to do is buy the window as my contractor is dealing with the rest. Construction starts in under a week and hopefully in 2 weeks I'll be all set.

You can not "control" the phase response of a passive filter (unless the laws of nature have changed since I studied RLC filters 10+ years ago). You can pick which response you want and what order etc but there are a lot of limits that just don't exist in the DSP space. Of course with the DSP you need to correct for the effects of the AD and DA on the phasing but it's pretty easy to do if the measurements are done. I do agree though with your statement that DSP is not easy to do right but it can and has been done by lots of people already (eg. JH, Virtualizer, Nautilus, etc)

Great news shelly.

Are you? DSP can do both quite happily.

I paid the first payment on our new backyard office shed. Cedar exterior, white bead board interior, insulated with heat and AC going to be awesome. Should be done in about 2 weeks.

That doesn't mean that guy isn't a POS

Congrats Al! Nice work Steve you obviously have a firm grasp of the finer points of wood

A 10 mfd capacitor for my air handler to save $70 over getting the repair guy to do it...

Sorry to hear about the problems Shelly and good luck to you and your husband. We had our own trip to the ER over the weekend. We were lucky in that it turned out to be nothing but was worth the trip anyway.
