So I've found a buddy to come along with me and we've worked out the countries that we're for sure going to visit. Starting in London (airfare is the cheapest..) then to the north…

Aww man, that sucks dude sorry to hear. Congrats on your son

Well, it's now more than two weeks later. I learned I did not get the job on Friday, the 16th. How did I learn this? From a letter which rejected me for the wrong job--one I hadn't…

I tend to wait at least a week before I download updates. If they're broken, I let other people find it out. I can't be bothered to reinstall Windows on everybody's computer, go in…

That is why SP2 will automatically download and install updates.

I am one of those rare people with a good Windows experience.

Windows update sucks. I've tried to download windows updates while trying to do other stuff on a Brand New PC laptop running XP. I froze the machine. I did it on an XP desktop a…

The DM5 brain is out of the question for me because it doesn't have an aux input. I liked the Hart, but their Prodigy set didn't have the features of the DTXpressII. The DTX set ha…

Glad to hear that you're happy with your set. As for hooking it up to your mac, you have two choices: MIDI and audio. In either case, if you're looking at software too, it may be w…

So I found the Yamaha DTXpress II set, new, for $800. It's a done deal! I've been playing around with it for a few hours and I love it! The hi-hat sounded dead, but I easily li…

Trouble with those smooth stones is that they don't so much soak it up as spread it around...

Good luck to you, TheIceMan. The waiting game is no fun at all... The wondering if you've overplayed your hand or whether they're just busy. I wish I had some advice for ya, but kn…

DigitalEl: Glad the interview went well. I can relate to what you're going through. Currently I'm waiting to hear back from an organization about a job. Since it's long distance ev…

Thanks again, everybody. I think I did pretty damn well. The woman interviewing me was, as predicted, an accomplished interviewer. That being said, she was running behind and I sat…

I think one point that has been sorely missed here is that the nature of the poo itself dictates the manner in which one handles it. It's alot easier to deal with a cleanly pinched…

I can remember my grandmother going during our walks on the farm. I never had to poo though. Have used an outhouse on more than one occasion.

Been there, done that... and didn't enjoy it!
