Yeah, both those house light shows are awesome. Particularly liked the first one, but it would have been even better seeing it happen in real time. I remember around this time last year the town hall in Sydney had a similar (albeit nowhere near as spectacular) projection thing going on. Was very cool. And while I'm speaking of Sydney, here's a Sydney guy making pretty cool tunes. Not sure how seriously he's taking himself, but I'm digging it nonetheless.

Thank you, Torsten.

^^^ awesome. A Dumbledore spin-off.

I really like coca tea (although haven't had it for a long time) - I feel it's got a nice sharp (but mild) stimulation and invigorates mood. Not particularly long lasting but followed by a yerba mate gave a nice clean feel. Not as dirty a crash as coffee, which is my current morning stimulant of choice (or habit).

Congrats, Ballzac.

First week of Feb or thereabouts is my nomination... but knowing my luck, I'll have something come up on whatever date gets selected that I can't get out of. (how's that for pessimism?) I'd really like to make another meet but I think the last three I've had to be interstate for work (and I hardly ever have to be interstate on weekends). Go figure!!

Interesting

Actually, inserting via the media button was going to be my first attempt, but I can't find it in the new layout. How do we insert youtube clips now? I would have imagined we'd use the same for both?

I know the negs thing has been an issue for a long time, but I think it was always the anonymity factor that was the problem. How would people feel about a "dislike" button as well now that it couldn't be done from behind a curtain? - not even sure it's possible in the software, but throwing it out there. Overall, I really like the new system. Seems pretty straightforward with some good improvements. I know the colours will be perfect once sorted.

So has the forum upgrade allowed soundcloud embedding? <object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29696057"></param>'>https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29696057"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29696057" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/the-rabalthazars/the-rabalthazars-mr-policeman">The Rabalthazars - Mr Policeman</a> by <a href=" Rabalthazars</a></span><edit> ok... not that way. <iframe width="100%" height="166" class="html5player" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29696057&show_artwork=true"></iframe> <edit> ok, not that way either. Anyone else know the answer?

Really sorry for your loss, Nabraxas. Best wishes to your wife for wherever she's gone, and best wishes for you in your grieving.

Just thought I'd update with some of the recordings we did recently. Hmmm.... a Soundcloud embed function would be nice here (nudge nudge). If you dig it, jump on the facebook page. Cheers. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Rabalthazars/198112166900543

Yeah, but sleeping dogs and all that?

Hmmm... I'm more likely to get negatised than you, Hillbilly, but I think this thread was an utter waste of space. Yeah, Chiral did some bad stuff, but it's so far in the past now that shouldn't we at least try to forgive and move on? There was obviously some real shit in his life at the time that caused him to rip people off... if anything, feel sorry for the guy that he allowed himself to get to such a stage. Money's money and if the people who got ripped off hadn't been, that money would have gone on something else. It's not like what they were paying him for were essentials, so the money they lost was by all means disposable income. Yep, feelings got hurt but do we not in this community try to rise up and be better people - more compassionate people? Why launch an attack on a troubled former member who hasn't even shown his face here since shit went down? Sorry Sally-D, but I think your nasty words, whether intended as a joke or not, totally disregard the fact that Chiral was a person too - with troubles like every single one of us here. Like every person on the planet. He made a mistake - he'll have to live with that the rest of his life. No need to gather the pack for a second belated witch hunt.

I'd recommend buy a new one. Second-hand should be fine in terms of the hardwar itself, but if you buy second-hand and the bundled software has required registration you might find yourself locked out from using it with your computer. PM'd.

If you're not shagging her already, start doing that. If you have been shagging and that's what's caused the problems - stop.

Best to get an external audio interface. Plenty of pretty good cheap ones around to get started. Basically, you connect to your computer via a USB or Firewire cable, plug mics/instrument jacks into the box and (as long as you're computer is reasonably well specced) you should be right to go. Latency can generally be adjusted within your recording program via a buffer. Decrease buffer speed and you'll reduce latency with the drawback of your computer choking on data if it's not powerful enough. Increase buffer speed to allow a slower computer to cope with the drawback of a slight delay between the data you enter and the data being played back. Here are a few good starting points. http://www.allansbillyhyde.com.au/prod/AUDIOGRAM6/Yamaha_Audiogram_6_Computer_Recording_System.aspx http://www.allansbillyhyde.com.au/prod/55/SAFFIRE6USB/Focusrite_Saffire_6_USB_Audio_Interface.aspx http://www.allansbillyhyde.com.au/prod/PRE-AUDIOBOXUSB/Presonus_Audiobox_USB_Interface.aspx All around the $200 mark. Most of them come with a free basic version of a recording program so you get going straight away. I've linked to just one store there, but shop around and you might be able to get them a little cheaper. Make sure you buy from somewhere that knows what they're doing cos you'll probably get stuck at some point and need to be able to call up for help. That should fix your clicking problem and latency issues. Probably want to have at least a few gig of RAM in your computer as well.

Who's the serial negger?

Man, that's so funny to watch. This one's not as amusing, but another fine example of inappropriate laughter.

Man, I love octopus. This one's ultra groovy.

I'm pretty sure that performing an extraction would be construed as illegal (regardless of the result) if your intention is to extract illegal chemicals from the seeds. Just thought I'd throw that out there to save you taking an unnecessary risk.

Hang on, now I'm really confused. Are we still talking about rimming?
