  2. Those of you with a taste for rum and 600 quid to spare might like to uncork a bottle of Black Tot "Last Consignment" British Royal Naval Rum, lovingly decanted from the official stocks held by the Senior Service since sailors' final rum ration in 1970.

  6. Now there's a blast from the past. Anyone want to buy a used Starfighter?, or buy an acre of ground, and wait? I was lucky enough to see Rob perform in KRANKSCHAFT Cabaret and THE KID FROM SILICON GULCH downstairs at theatrespace, by Charing Cross. Ah youth.

  15. Ric, I'm interested in you expectations / expected use case. It sounds like you want to use a non native file system containing non native music files, that are volatile, and frequently updated via an additional samba process over an admittedly marginal wireless link on a resource constrained embedded linux installation Have you tried ssh'ing into the box to see how many additional process and resources this approach takes Have you tried un-mounting the device , mounting it on another system, and just deleting the ".Squeezebox" folder, as this is where the database / persistent caches are written, then re-inserting / rescanning. What benefits do you expect from "sharing" a storage device vs dedicating one - vs your time ? Just interested. Currently Chillin' to some Caf

    Audeze LCD-2

    I'm guessing the correct answer would be to plot SPL vs THD using the LCD-2 as the transducer in Tylls Headphone measurement lab, comparing the iPod vs amped iPod as source.

    Ah, the Soviet system Pitkyaranta Journal - She's in the Kitchen, and She's Not Making Blinis - NYTimes.com People drank cologne and even brake fluid in search of refreshment. Air force pilots took to drinking the exceptionally pure alcohol used as a de-icer in MIG-25 jets, Mr. White noted, a practice so popular that the MIG-25 acquired the nickname ''the flying restaurant.'' Mig-25 Pilot to control tower: "encountering ice, deploying de-icer" Some covered up their tippling by replacing the de-icer alcohol with water. This worked until their jets iced up in flight.

    One of my pet peeves is the almost constant use of cell phones by people while driving, shopping, dining, in line at the store and most especially at the beach. Who the hell wants to have a conversation at the beach? Between the music and the sound of the surf, how could anyone hear to have a conversation? Does no one know how to say, ‘I’ll call you back?’ Well, it has gone beyond that now with phones being used in supposedly relaxing getaway places such as the beach. This is beyond inconsiderate. While on the beach recently, I had to sit there and listen to this woman chatter on for at least an hour as she pranced back and forth in front of me. I couldn’t concentrate on my book. I really wanted to relax, work on my tan and read this great novel but noooo, this chick had to yammer on and on. Take a look at these images and you’ll see what I’m talking about. How could anyone get a chance to read a book when this woman was spending all of this time talking on the phone right in front of me. Cell Phone Rudeness | MoonDog Sports
  23. Ric, Some thoughts - no observed issues here. Are you using the analog outs or digital to a dac? If analog, what is the input sensitivty/range of what you are connecting it to? What track are you using? what are the replay gain tags of the Track? what does the wave form look like in Audacity?
  24. Red Tequila, anyone?
