Yeah, and the practice makes no sense to me given the current price of jet fuel. A quick check says that the price is down over 60% from a year ago when the hidden fee madness began.

I will be unable to help as I will be too busy cutting off the stock connectors and reterminating cables.

Nice! I'm pretty nervous about packing since all I'll be bringing is a carry on.

I suppose it all comes down to how early you want to go to bed. Sure, if you want to nod off a 8 pm you might pull that off. Of course you'll feel like you have zero life but it might work. And no offense to your friend but sleep math is not normal math and in this case 3+3+3 does NOT = 9. And I still say that one day I'm going to write a book on parenting and it's going to be called "Life as a Series of Naps". Lily rarely, if ever during the first 6 months slept for longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time. We eventually split shifted the night so that we each got ~5 hours of semi-peaceful sleep.

You're not serious are you? I don't think that anyone is going to sit around taking notes as Todd passes them out.

And still 3 months from now you'll be longing to sleep as late as 5am! I'm finally far enough removed from it that I actually miss feeding Lily at 2am, well occassionally anyway.

You and Ray Samuels need to meet Smeggy.

Moon Audio will have one at CanJam, allegedly it's the first to ship in the US and will be coupled to the matching transport.

This is what I was thinking of. Apple discounts replacements for waterlogged iPhones | iPhone Atlas - CNET Reviews

Well, it's one shiny-er, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be ok at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten. Where can you go from there? Where? Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One shiny-er.

Hasn't Apple already had to admit (at least in part) that the sensor is too, well, sensitive? Isn't this part of the whole lower priced replacement they now offer?

I cleaned this up as best I could with limited time, have at it if you must.

IIRC the pearl setup that was being used then was seriously low output, like ~.5V or something along those lines.

I can't recall exactly, but will try and look some time soon to be sure but I think Steve's beta is configured as 2/4, which still seems like it should be enough with a 2V source and any headphone but I guess it could be close on some single-ended cans. Personally I feel no shame using the upper half/third of the pot but that does tend to bother some poeple.

For balanced operation I can't imagine a single-ended gain of more than 4 (making the balanced effectively unless you're operating with a extremely low output source (less than 1V) or you have the world's most inefficient headphones.

Yesterday I decided that 10 coats of semi-gloss lacquer was not sufficient and added one more so that now it goes to 11. Then built a bunch of adapters to bring to CanJam for team 4-pin.

Well done.

Where the f am I going to get coffee at 2am?

Now that sounds interesting!

Oooh, now we'll really have to get cracking on plans for a mini-meet.

That's funny, I got a Markertek order in today for another one of your retermination projects.

I can't wait to hear this amp again this weekend.

Hmmm, the last time Vista updated my laptop it nuked it... still, here's to hoping they're moving in the right direction. I wonder how long they'll offer Vista after 7 starts shipping?

Better than the 2-day bill would have been.
