    Wednesday, Hump Day! Kiss a camel... :gulp:

    Took today off to kick off the beginning of the end. Re-contacted some placement agencies, am cleaning up my resume' and creating a one-page summary (of over 35 years and dozens of jobs, lol)! Also prepping to switch machines.. soon this laptop will be in the "clean up" position and Charybdis will be front and center.

    Hopefully next week I will be able to reformat and re-install Win7 on this machine. I'm going to try to turn her into a secure, wireless NAS server. :blank:

    New wishlist whines: not on Daz, but Musicians Friend! :bug: Found a second set of headphones for critical listening that have a frequency response from 8Hz (!!) to 30JHz (!!)! ;ahhh: That's the widest range I've for form under $300.. and found another miniature MIDI controller I want. :red: I swear, gear addiction is worse than content addiction... :bug:

    Off to find food and clean out storage containers.. I think beef quesadilla for lunch! :cheese:

    Hmmm... What's a "JHz"? Jillion Hertz? If so, I'm impressed! :bug:

    Those headphones will be great for you dog. Do you have a dog? Humans can't hear 30Khz. Most can't hear to 20Khz. You'd need some pretty high end equipment to test them and see if they really do put out sound at 30Khz. So they can say what they want and who will hold them accountable? Your dog? :-P

    I have this nice frequency analyzer that loads into my audio software. It's good from 1Hz to 40KHz.. it'll show me what I should be hearing if only I were both an elephant and a hummingbird at the same time...

    :blank: :blank: :blank:

    My goal is the flat response, according to my tests my hearing is good from about 25Hz up to around 17KHz. My songs typically run from lows about 15Hz for sub-woofers up to about 15KHz, I'm not a huge fan of a ton of high end.... :red:

    I am now on Charybdis as my main machine. :bug:

    It'S a VERY different experience.. no need to hide the bar at the bottom.. keyboard is very different feeling.. fast, fast, omg fast.. enough screen real estate to fit 3-4 windows.. geebus.. :ahhh:

    As much as I hate to admit it, I love the touch screen! :cheese: No need to mouse around, just POKE DA BUTTON and we're off! No good for Bryce, but for other apps, dialogs, and such it's schweet! :coolsmile:

    Will take getting used to.. but omg.. sooo worth the money and suffering! :cheese:

    Now copying my music over so I have toons.. fun times.. wheee touch the screen to scroll wheeeeeeeeeee :cheese:

    I can't hear beyond 8KHz. :down: However, it greatly reduces my investment in speakers and headphones. :P

    BTW, about lawn flamingoes,

    These toxic coloured birds had one noticeble CG experience! In Gnomeo and Juliet one lonely lawn flamingo plays a great tragic clown....great movie...., if you are sleepdrunk and this is the only plot you can sit through at 2 o clock after a mild CG infested day that started at 5 in the morning and stopped at 1 hour before midnight (11 pm or so you call it).

    Well, it probably was the first sense developed by primitive organisms. It has a long history!

    ..so true on gear addiction.

    In my case back in the 90s, it was kite addiction. I was making good money in the early part of the decade so dropping 300 -400$ on a high performance sport or power kite was nothing. I'd routinely travel around the nation going to different festivals and competitions (ahh, the days before the airlines were taken over by Ebenezer Scrooge) and usually able to upgrade to First Class off miles every couple trips.

    Air travel was so cheap back during the fare wars (at one point, 19$ each way between Portland, OR and Oakland) I used to regularly head down to the Bay Area to practise my competition performances at the beach at by Golden Gate Park . Even with a night or two at a hotel (always stayed at this really nice inexpensive one right in the city) it didn't cost much more than taking the expensive airport shuttle to the Oregon coast (after Running Dog had ceased service there) and spending as much if not more for a hotel room (summer high season rates) than I did in San Francisco. I actually became such a "fixture" of the Bay Are kite scene, that the local sport kite club there kept trying to get me to become a member..

    I must have maybe 3,000 - 4000$ invested in all my kiting gear. still all in very good condition. Just no place to fly anymore as bus service to the coast is still lousy and expensive.

    Maybe I should consider relocating to someplace like the Outer Banks because I really miss it.

    Try it a few more times during the day. I've found that the videos from news websites often bork-up somehow but work the next time I try it. It may have something to do with the demand on their server, or delays in the network.
