Post the last thing you bought!
Yes, it is good (so far) and I look forward to getting to know it for a while. I'm hoping it'll also serve as motivation to get busy on another project that's been languishing a bit as of late.

Is anyone else having this problem with paynotyourpal?
Yes but with the caveat that paypal won't offer you anything in the way of protection or means to recover the funds so I'd only advise using it for transactions that you're 100% sure of.

I didn't buy anything. I agreed to do some work on Voltron's SRM-T1W in exchange for a little loan.

Nice Ken, good choice there. And congrats Deepak. A stat amp arrived at my door today as well so I can start rocking to the L-sigs tonight.

Audioengine DS1 Stands?
Welcome to Head-Case Brady and not that I have the final opinion on such matters but I think your post is just fine. I think Velo will appreciate the heads-up.

You can adjust the BHSE bias without removing the top panel, just wait for instructions from Justin.

What did you do today?
Well, I wasn't really planning on doing that at all. I was just messing around trying to catch the ever-illusive bolt of lightning, I have a thing for lightning. It wasn't until I was scrolling through the images on my laptop that I had the idea to string them together. It was just kind of lucky that I had that many shot at the same aperture/shutter so they fit.

Here, let's see if this works. edit - it's only playing about half the sequence, but you get the idea of how fast stuff was going by.

I found a similar tutorial for making the movie in iMovie and the bottom line is that :03 is too slow, I need something in the :01 range which is too low. And making the sequence last longer won't help since the frame rate will actually be slower by making identical frames out of the same image. Thankfully a bit better googling by me turned up a freeware program called FramebyFrame which is pretty cool and easy to use. I've made the little 2 second movie and uploaded it to youtube. It's listed as "processing" so I'll check either later or tomorrow morning to see if it goes live. edit - unfortunately Peter there's no lightning in the video, just the clouds rolling by over a period of about 10 minutes (compressed into 2 seconds).

Thanks for the compliments, it was pretty wild to see it live. And no, I don't think that's Bill, just typical summer T-storms.

The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
If he's smart he won't agree to build one for anyone at a price below $10k (minimum). This is not Head-Fi, he can charge whatever the frack he wants here.

Got home from work and the sky wasn't looking too friendly. Around 7pm we started to hear thunder in the distance and by 7:30 it was flashing pretty regularly and the sky was looking nasty. That picture doesn't really tell the story very well since it's a 5 second exposure. This is a little better, just 10 minutes later, stopped way down. The sky was routinely lighting up but I was unable to really capture that. 5 minutes later it started to get really interesting. A crop of the last one Shortly thereafter my wife made it clear that I should get inside. Good thing she did since within minutes the sky opened up and it absolutely poured for 15 minutes or so. Now if I could find a program that would let me stitch 20 or so jpgs into a short movie I'd upload a sequence of 10 second exposures that I took. I tried iMovie but it'll only let me go down to .3 seconds which isn't fast enough.

I'll never own another black car either. My Jetta GLX was black and it was like a daily kick in the nuts with how easily it showed dirt, scratches and the eventual $2k worth of sap damage that it had. The only good thing was that it somehow had a tan leather interior, I've never seen another like it. Still, never again. Silver or metallic gray are the first choices followed up by gray-blues. Not that I'll be shopping for a car before 2015 anyway and by then they will all fly anyway and shoot rainbows out of fake exhaust pipes.
