I scored a pair of these nearfield monitors in mint condition for half price. A friend with a studio in Portland upgraded to the 8 inch version (these are the KRK Rokit 5.) They sound amazing.

The Almighty Matrix has been confirmed totaled. In better news, I just found out my credit rating kicks copious amounts of ass. :)

But first, my deep condolences for the almighty Matrix. Where ARE my manners?

Wow, I just got the news Ray Manzarek (keyboard player for the Doors, for those of you under 30) passed away. As a guy who started taking organ lessons as a little kid in the '70s, he was an icon to me. RIP, Ray, and I still screw up the intro to "Light My Fire" every time I play it.

Running a Mac VM on my Mac feels... Schizoid.
Building a Mac VM. Why? Because I can. :)

20 minutes end-to-end for the build and it's quick! I'm impressed.

Ubuntu VM built, VPN configured. Achievement unlocked. Got a sweet discount on VMware Fusion Pro for being a former Parallels customer/victim too. :)

Too bad I can't sit at my desk for more than an hour at a time due to the pain. EVENTUALLY I'll be able to get back to music, I suppose.

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why this synth patch was called "Cheap Floyd." Then it hit me...
Still getting used to this whole "go to bed at 8 AM" thing. :)

For me? A few ticks past 11 PM. On the days I work, I come in between 11 AM and 2 PM your time. (6 PM to 9 PM my time)

So you're at work now?

Off tonight, tomorrow night, and Tuesday night - I work a 4 day week now.

The new gig makes it easy for us - it took me all of a minute to set up VPN on my Mac so I can access my work stuff from home if I want/need to.

The only thing better than overtime is overtime at home. Got approval from my new boss to VPN in on Saturday and grab some time and a half. Figure I'll roll out of bed, grab some coffee and wander to my office.

it's funny to me that with this giant pile of guitars, everything I've done in the last couple of months has been synth driven.

The new shift will be interesting - I don't know the hours yet, but it'll be 4 days a week - one 12, two 11s and a 9, either in that order or reversed.
