In Spain we call them "válvulas". In other Spanish speaking countries they call them "tubos", but not in Spain. I rarely see them named valves in English.

I had a Marantz cassette deck which was the immediate predecessor of that in this picture. They were about the same, just slight changes in the VUmeters colors and the action buttons. More than 40 years ago. Time flies.

Happy Birthday, Ari!!!

Happy Birthday, Shelly!!! Enjoy of an splendorous day. And fun too

S3 of Babylon Berlin. It's keeping the (good) pace of the previous two seasons.

+1 I spent most of S2 episodes practicing guitar.

Feliz Aniversário, Manuel!!! Parabéns

I hadn't seen the mountains (La Sierra) that clearly since I was a little kid and none of the tall buildings were there, not even the broadcast tower in front which is from 1982.

I happen to live in a country where we have five candidates. All suck. No exception. Nowadays politicians are in it for the money, or the power, or the relevance, who knows, but none happens to be there for the common profit. It feels as though the guys who are really pulling the threads pay for such incompetent people to be in the race.

RIP Lee.

Happy Birthday, Jeffy!!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Some Sunday morning cheering up funk tunes Bootsy Collins - The Funk Capital of the World Not very easterish but who cares.

Condolences, Brent. Hugs your way.

Sure, chairs are more comfy than a bench if there's not a wall behind.

IMHO that table is begging for another bench. First anniversary present? Awesome job indeed.

Sometimes suggestions bot at YouTube finds good stuff, or of my liking, which probably isn't the same.

Thank you, Dusty

I get to go to work almost daily by walking a bit less of a mile. Joining you would be most complicated. Charles Lloyd - 8: Kindred Spirits (Live from the Lobero)

Horrible days. It comes to my attention that musicians are being way less fortunate falling sick from that fucking virus than actors and other artists. I'm wondering if they made lesser money. RIP Bill, Bucky, Marcelo, Mike, Wallace and Manu

Some relative in law has one of those Raspberry thingies that a friend built for him. It sounds pretty good, he controls it with the iPhone (maybe it's an Android phone, not sure). It plays whatever there's into the HDD he feeds it. It sounds pretty good. Not his vinyl rig good, but not bad at all.

RIP Uderzo. Thanks for so many hours of fun.

Mine is a 2010 MBP which I upgraded to 250GB SSD (removing the optical drive) and added RAM up to 8GB. It's only a Core 2 Duo. I've just learned that Parallels is free for 14 days, then it's 80€/year. Not happy paying for something work related. I guess I might find older "free" versions of IE remote desktop for Mac, but I wouldn't like to use anything remotely contaminated for this work application.

Interesting. Looks like IE Remote Desktop doesn't exist anymore (in Spain at least) but looking for IE Desktop in the AppStore found "Parallels Desktop" which seems should be able to run Windows apps. If IE works I should be ready to go. I'm going to get this new Parallels and see what it does. I tried Wine some time ago for other software apps and stopped using it, not really satisfactory on an older Mac. I should give it another try for IE, thanks for the reminder.
