  1. Ok, so I'm going to get into recording. Really really entry level stuff but what I'm concerned about, and posting here for, is to know what hardware I will need, other then mic's and mixers and all that. What speeds, ram, sound cards etc at this stage I'm not sure if I want to upgrade my current computer or just build one from scratch, it depends on what I need to get started.

    I have tried recording with the built in sound card. I have the drum beat down and hit record. As it records, it plays the drum beat thru my head phones. But the recording is faster then the drum beat! I have been told this is due to latency issues :S

    also, if the sounds are amplified when there is no sound playin, this wierd ticking, buzzing sound plays. When I record, this sound is recorded very loudly and I must use noise cancelling filters to remove them, which alters the recorded sound :( it has nothing to do with my input device, as this sound plays no matter if there is an input plugged in or not. there is also no 50hz hum, my cables are good.

    So I want to get into this recording game, but what do I need to get started? I don't want to spend too much, and am planning to get some better equipment, should I get into it more in the future but for now,


  2. no sorry I have no photo, but it was a long time ago. Thanks anyway mutant for attempting to send them out. I appreciate it...did received them the other day, said quarantine picked them up :S


  3. also a lot of systemic insecticides are pretty old, more toxic or bioacumulative then non systemic chemicals. if your planning to consume any of the part of the plant, be sure to research the chemical's half life before munching on it. They're MENT to BE safe, but best to be safe then sorry. Being in the industry, I know how dodgy pretty much all these chemical companies are, specially bayer and basf, while dupont seems to be the most open and trust worthy. Anyway, better stop ranting lol

  4. I got a possum problem. The bastards bit my loph, (without removing flesh) bit the flower from it that was just about to fruit, took a chunk outa my san pedro and ripped some of my kanna out of the pots they were in. I moved the pots so they are kinda safe now, and I know that there animals doing their thing and they don't know any better, but I still sure hate those bloody animals...


  5. I have a thought for you baz, have you seen bruce almighty? (hilarious) basically bruce becomes god and at one stage he begins hearing every prayer anyone is saying at that moment. He cant deal with it and doesn't know what to do and wants it to go away. I feel the same way on too many mushies when my thoughts start to loop. Mushies are also used to speak with the spirit world. Imo, the spirit world would be exactly were god would kick it. Is this a taste of what its like to be a god?


  6. hey guys! i always wanted to go to EGA, but i never have the time, mainly due to work commitments. but i believe in EGA as a positive thing for all the comunity, so i want to part with this creation of mine to support it. this will be an auction. let me explain my pipe:

    so this is it. she is made from black wood acaia, gum tree burl (collected by me), paper bark wood (from my back yard, cut down by me and cured by me), some type of gum tree (red gum maybe? collected from someones fire wood pile), and aluminium. its also got a stainless steel mesh. the stem is made from the mystery fire wood and acaia and the base is made from paper bark.

    you can see the beautiful burls. the grain swirls in all directions and imo, one of the trippiest patterns in nature. the burl on the top was actually pulled from the tree and it was that shape, like a tallon. the bark was removed and it was polished and that all. the tree was not harmed from the harvest of these burls. (trees survive huge branchs falling and breaking and the wound from the removal of this burl was smaller then a 20c piece)

    this image is to showcase the beautiful paperbark wood i used. there are deep burgundy's, golden tones, pink flecks and even greys. all natural colours of this type of wood. i realy enjoy working with this wonderful wood.

    also you can see the beautiful rippling in the stem wood. it's kinda cute.

    now for what realy makes this pipe special for me.

    here you can see the bowl. on top of the pipe you can i have designed to drop your herb onto the aluminium plate, open the lid, and sweep the herb into the bowl. just a lil easier way of doin it.

    the lid has a magnetic clasp. when the lid is shut, the magnet holds the lid shut from little bumps and that.

    as well as that, the smoke actually travels underneath the aluminium plate. under the plate is a long "S" shaped channel that the smoke travels through. aluminium was chosen because it is one of the best metals for conducting of heat, so as the smoke travels thru, it sucks out the heat and cools the smoke.

    finally, by removing the screws on the front, it makes it fully cleanable. you simply remove the plate and you can scrub it clean.

    top view of the pipe. :( i'm gonna miss you lil pipe!!!

    my lil mark for who ever owns it. it's an original, one of a kind. it has never been used because i planed to one day sell them to someone who will realy appreciate it.

    this pipe didnt take too long to make, only around 6 weeks or so. all the wood (exept the acaia) has been wild wood at some stage. the mystery wood was fire wood i... kinda found... in someones back yard (no, i didnt steal it, of course not lol) and as i mentioned before, the paper bark was from my own paper bark tree and cut down by me. the burls were also collected to by me. the black wood acaia was given to me by a family friend.

    so now you know everything about this lil fella. i realy am reluctant to give this away, but it's going to a good cause.

    so far i have personally been offered $400 so far for this, but it was from a guy who i know wont apreciate the work and thought put into it and also wouldnt take care of it the way i would like.

    as i mentioned, this is going to be an auction. i dont know if this has been done before but the way i want it to do it is for you to post your bid here and then up the previous bid. i think it will be best to keep the comments and that to a minimum so others (and myself) can track the current bid easily without cluttering up the screen with long comments you know? Please get onto this guys cause its realy gonna help out a great organisation and meeting! :D

    so i guess should start the bids.

    STARTING BID: $100

  7. If you go down the laptop route, i'd look into refurbished laptops from a store front in your area. Store front because you can get any problems sorted strait away. (my power supply shat itself after a few months and they just swapped it over no problems.) you can sick up a decent laptop for about $250 with all the usb driver you want lol plus it's recycling :)

    just to give you an idea on the price, here's the store i deal with, but of course being a victorian store, just a lil far for you :P


  8. i found them quite easy to grow, till winter. Remember to give them well drained soil or they may rot and keep it damp, not soaked, wich will happen if you have realy free draining soil and water her regularly. Good potting mix shouldnt need fert me thinks. Keeping it simple is your best bet. The more you do to fix her, the harder it can be to track down what went wrong if that should happen ;)

    that lil sucker looks pretty good to me. I'm just worried you may OVER lover her :(
