Redecorate Your House With Beef

Not a word of lie, this was the subject line of a piece of spam in my mailbox today. If more spammers took the time to write interesting subject lines like this one, they’d probably have more success.

I didn’t open it – I doubted the contents could measure up to what I imagined it was about…

Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards

Won’t be long now. I think as of tomorrow I will officially ditch my Hotmail account and swap to Yahoo. This would be a perfect opportunity to get the chromewaves account into action, but I do like the My Yahoo functions.

My back has been acting up again this week, after more than a year of mostly pain-free happiness. Pisses me right off. Why now? What’s the cause, where’s the stress? Stupid back muscles.

Adventures In Stereo

Out of boredom and some pragmatism, I have just spent the past hour rearranging my speakers. I’m not going to get optimum sound from my setup considering the way my room is arranged, but the way it was I could only achieve optimum listening position if I stood in the centre of my room. Not practical.

I’ve stretched out the base of the invisible equilateral triangle between the speakers by almost 200% (in other words, I moved them to the outside edges of the bookshelves instead of the inside – scientific yah!). The ideal listening position in my room is now sitting on my bed, back against the wall – where I usually sit when reading. Better than standing in the middle of the room. My computer, where I spend most of my time, still isn’t in a great listening position but the left speaker is directly behind my head now so at least I’m getting more detail and volume from one of the channels. Better than nothing.

I Am An Indie Snob

i am an indie snob!


How indie are you?
test by ridethefader

You’re just too cool for school, aren’t you? You’re pretty narrow minded
and opinionated with regards to music (and probably most other things
as well). But you’re allowed to be, because you really are better
than everyone else. You take pride in obscurity.
You probably prefer vinyl too, you elitist bitch.
