Grahame

There are T-shirts on e-bay for < $20 e.g. You could use the savings for the welders gogles, gauntlets + boots .. Googling around it seems other people have run in to the same problem in trying to recreate the outfit for previous halloweens. etc

Yehah!, Time we got the HC crew back together,

This post on el reg appealed to me for some reason today ,,, Re: I will laugh so much... ReBirth is sounded pretty dated now, though. There's far more convincing virtual analog synths around; although ReBirth ran nicely on a 60MHz processor and was amazing for its day. Which was 16 years ago. I would expect some future TB-303 clone to be running a SPICE simulation of the actual circuitboard* And that user interface? What were they thinking? Yes to emulating the TB-303 sound, no to emulating the TB-303 pattern editor * OK, admission time, I tried this. You have to run the simulation at 1MHz in SPICE to capture the oscillator triggers, and there are enough non-linear components that you have to use something like conjugate gradient to solve it, and that puts it out of the 1MHz sample rate even on a 3GHz machine. You could possibly run the filters at a lower sample rate and analytically create the input waveforms though - the SPICE waveforms, even with non-perfect components, are pretty much mathematically perfect. But I digress.

More birthday greetings! (would that make it a bgreet, like a congrat?)

Go Giants!

Segway? or some sort of plug-in to appeal to all the hippie chicks ?

The other Steve agrees

^ Jeremy would be disappointed in you, Colin.

BLTA Nom nom nom

^ Good luck Knucks. Rock the house or whatever.

Al, thanks for attempting to get things concrete. Back in the dim distant past when this meet was floated, accommodation in terms of availability and rates seemed do-able. Last time I checked pricing and availability was limited. Pricing "Predatory". Any outside the box thinking / House rental / large suites / RV's / houseboats / trailers that would work as alternative accommodation for our group? It would be great to meet the HC clan again. can we make this work?

And the G-Nex is now at 4.1.2

Three Shared Birthdays you say? (not saying who is who, for obvious reasons )

Reks, trust your pain-killers are suitably pharmaceutical.

Galaxy Nexus 7 Gets 4.1.2 Update with Landscape Home screen. Yay! http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/android-4-1-2-goes-live-gives-nexus-7-owners-landscape-home-screen/

<Ouch> indeed. Better a door than the driver.

You'll be in your bunk?

More on the jump. In Lego form http://www.theregist...ni_baumgartner/

Wut?

Neil deGrasse Tyson The "Edge of Space" jump: A corresponding fall to a schoolroom globe begins 1 millimeter above its surface. I'm just saying.

Happy Birthday Vicki! Enjoy your day.

An example of the Hawthorne Effect, Perhaps?

Last night had a meal with a friend, whose manager had just been arrested for allegedly taking $1.5M off the books. http://www.marinij.com/sanrafael/ci_21743387/san-rafael-police-arrest-woman-1-5-million We heard lots of juicy details, that no doubt will come to light in court. Lots of similarities with the Koss embezzlement it seems.

^Anything with Bacon?
