laxx Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Left work early because I had the itch to play some DotA...
aardvark baguette Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Yay, I found out we're not affected. My housemate sent me this link, saying that only the pink area is affected. That makes more sense once you see the bigger picture. Fuck, thats me Well I took a shower this morning....
grawk Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Nice your started your new job, Reks, even with the unappreciative co-worker. Someone who doesn't like Ornette Coleman... I had a really good day. Signed a contract for a new position at the job I'd been working towards for awhile now. The next three to six months is going to be pretty demanding, and with a whole new schedule, but I'm excited. We've also been building a new office building that is supposedly (uh...yeah) going to be open in August. With that, I'll be getting a rather large office, and will finally be allowed an office rig. Now, what to get..... the timing of that sounds like O2 + KGBHSE
Voltron Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Dang, you boys are mean. :'( I basically have about three or four months to plan this rig until the new building opens. Can't have anything too isolating, and can't be large. May just stick with the MacBook Pro, pico, ESW9s, but I don't like the idea of carting my laptop around (I drop things a lot and killed the last one that way), and can't use office computer for music. I don't really...er...need a new rig, but...but...but............. Add some nice AD2Ks for great sound but openness (I can hear the phone ring with them on at my desk rig). Dew eet!

Dew eet! Both of those would be dream rigs, and I'll have to see what's possible when the new building is finally open. In the meantime, until I have a bigger space, I'm probably going to have to go for Rek's suggestion of ipod/headphones. Funny, the new position doesn't even kick in for a couple weeks, and am thinking about what I need to do for that?....nooooo....but only one day into the offer, and I'm planning an office system....hmmmm As for today, I'm off to the audiologist for new impressions. UE rejected my first set for not having a base. I used their recommended audiologist, so they might want to reinvestigate to whom they're sending their customers.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 G08->Raptor->DT880Actually, I like both the G08 and the DT880.

I have held out a long time on getting customs because Westone offered to have me be a beta tester on their Custom 3s. Still waiting for the universal to even arrive, and the Custom comes later. Anyway, why not use the Nano-->Pico-->ESW9? I have mini cables if you are in need...
n_maher Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 By midnight last night I was feeling a bit better but still decided to take today off to try and make sure that I don't get really sick. Felt pretty awesome to log ~8hrs of sleep last night, that's for sure. Also, I discovered today that Autocad 2007 is not Vista compatible, so trying to do work from home is proving rather fruitless.
en480c4 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Also, I discovered today that Autocad 2007 is not Vista compatible, so trying to do work from home is proving rather fruitless. At least you found out before things got really bad. We lost a number of drawings... Autocad + Vista = corrupted files with no hope of recovery.
riceboy Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Just installed Firefox 3.0 How is it running? Some have reported massive memory leaks. Right now the site is offline because of the volume of traffic hitting it.
boomana Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Anyway, why not use the Nano-->Pico-->ESW9? I have mini cables if you are in need... I could use that, but what's the fun in getting a new, big office if you can't plan a rig for it? Nate, hope you're feeling better.
Cankin Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 I know nothing technical, but it's pretty fast and responsive even on my 5+ year old computer(Athlon XP 1.8, 512 MB ram)

I'm clearly being too literal, but when you said iPod + headphones I was wondering why you left out the Pico. Thus, the cable offer. I still have and RnB180 Black Diamond (?) plus the RnB180 gold reference cable I bought from grawk eons ago, and I hardly ever use them because I have an 5G iMod that requires the special dock.

tyrion Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Vicki, congrats on the job, I know you have been working hard towards it for a while now. I'm limited to speakers in my office. I have too many people bothering me during the day. It would be nice to be able to crank up the volume a bit which I could do with headphones. It's always nice to have an excuse to look for a new rig.
aerius Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Went grocery shopping. Walked into an automatic door which refused to open. Realized that I'd tried to walk out the in door. Slept and listened to music for the rest of the day since I was clearly a hazard to myself.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Well I took a shower this morning....Actually, I think they're saying go ahead and take showers, wash dishes and clothing, and for god's sake, flush the damn toilets. They just want you to boil it for a minute before ingesting it, I believe.Under the advisory, customers are urged to use bottled water or to bring water to a rolling boil for one minute and cool before drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and preparing food.
Knuckledragger Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Watched the Lakers get their collective ass handed to them by the Celtics.
ojnihs Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 watched my boy KG finally get his ring. pure. awesomeness.
riceboy Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 Had great dessert at this shave ice place today for the first time. Went to Best Buy to purchase Coldplay's LP with CD. I haven't been to Best Buy before it opened and there was like 30 people waiting outside. I then went running by the beach right outside of my workplace. It was somewhat humid, but seeing the beach and running made it so relaxing. It was a good chance for me to use my new Sansa Clip MP3 player. It performed well when I was running. Came home and played with my son . Relaxing right now, listening to the Coldplay CD.
