I think I have a new hobby.

I've always been a visual person. I used to read. I like looking at pictures. Frankly, the whole music thing mystifies me a little. I'm quiet normally. Vision is my sense. With that in mind...

Photos from this weekend.

The monster hath been built.

By modern standards, it's hardly a kick-ass PC, but it's the kickest-assest PC I've ever built, because I'm a cheap bastard. And it will enable me to record and mix many more tracks than my dinky 500MHz wanker did for my first, acoustic-only CD. Pictures soon.

20GB main hard drive
45GB hard drive for audio tracks

The River has a thing in the morning called "Lyrically Speaking." They say a line from a song, you call in and identify the song and the artist for a prize.

"Heard a rumor from Ground Control" is not from "Space Oddity." I fell precisely into their trap! Arrrgrhghgh!

But I was on the radio.

Do I want to max out the RAM on, and basically muck around the inside of, my recording PC so I can eventually record more complicated music with more tracks and stuff?

Or do I want to record more complicated music with more tracks and stuff so I can justify maxing out the RAM on, and basically mucking around the inside of, my recording PC?

A guy I peripherally know at work just showed up with his two young boys - around three years old.

One he had on his shoulder. That kid pointed at me and said gleefully, "Nobody!"

Gee, thanks, kid.
