Your random annoyance of the day

[professorlamp]

My mind: 'Ahhh I've finally finished tracking with them, now to get into the editing and mixing'.....

couple of hours later... 'Hey man our guitarist wants to come over to track the interludes between each track'

me: We agreed on 5 tracks?

them: Yer but this is the introduction to each track

me: ....fine....

@ Owen: Is your flatmate a nutter or just a cunt?

Definitely the former; tried to clock me with a bass guitar and a phone a few weeks previous because I wouldnt put Motley Crue on at his singular behest and I quote;

"Put motley crue on or I will hit you with this bass guitar"
"Fuck off and get some manners"
"I will hit you with this bass guitar"
"Try me."

Coupled with all the past acts of self harm; read giving himself tattoos drunk then cutting them off again also drunk, punching through glass windows because he was angry and starting fights with neds intent on getting glassed then I think you could say psychopath with a definite hint of cunt.

Sober he was a rational human being. Drunk then he was a complete sociopath. Scarily bi-polar.

I have to say waking up at 3am half naked with some completely unhuman guy loitering over you with a hammer and totally dead eyes is some pretty scary shit.

Lmao, I love this. "We've got 6 songs to track and an intro". Cool, I think, assuming the songs are like 4 mins and the intro is 30 secs. Songs are all 4 mins and the 'intro' is a normal 3.5 min song, that happens to be the first song. Uh... no?

Had a mix I worked real hard on for several days outright rejected by an artist. First time that's ever happened! Ah well, probably not the last either.

My dog died yesterday, nvm the rest.

That's horrible, been through that. If it's any consolation, my dad died last week

 

[Ashgarth]

Really sorry to hear that man, my condolences.

Damn. Sorry to hear that mate, my condolences as well... And yeah, it's exactly like losing family. I couldn't imagine the house being as quiet as it is now, but we all die one day, don't we?

my random annoyance:

Destroying my room looking for my bus pass, only to find it under my laptop. FS

 

[joelplagues]

Left my partner after close to 3 years, and I also have work friday night and no where close to stay. I can't drive and public transport ends before I'll finish.
FML I'll miss catching a quick cab to and from work from hers.

biggest thing now will be trying to keep my career in live audio afloat when I live so far away from the venues I work for.

Sucks to hear dude.

My Uncle passed away very recently weeks ago due to alcohol abuse and cancer due to alcohol abuse; and since I work full-time and study part time, I had to miss 2 classes... Missed the 2 classes I really needed for the exam this week.

Pretty sure I failed.

Some dumb bitch just texted me asking if we could cite Wikipedia as a source for a paper due tomorrow.

 

[lolzgreg]

I found how much the cost was for a Mac Pro today, and consequently pulled the trigger, and now I'm broke, spending what was two months savings

Talk about a double edged sword:

This thing better rock

Dude, you should have gone refurbished. You can get hard drives for half that price, and they frequently have refurbs with that spec for about $500 cheaper than regular price. We got an 8-core 2.4 G Nehalem for $2600. Throw in 8 gig memory ($150 at owc) and a 1TB drive ($60 at owc) and you can get a beastly setup for under 3 grand. Refurbs are basically brand new and have a warranty as well. However, this information may have been more useful to you yesterday.

Enjoy that computer though, you'll love it.

emptiness, stagnation, apathy

I have a friend who works at the Apple Store and he got that computer for me for under three grand. I didn't want to hassle with anything, I wanted the latest model, and I wanted a full warranty.

I really don't think an 8-core is going to benefit me right now, and AFAIK, can cause some instability issues since a lot of software is incapable of utilizing all of the cores to some degree. I don't mind being wrong, but I don't know anyone in the audio world who is really stressing an 8-core processor, and the fact that the one I picked is 3.2 ghz is pretty monsterous

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Mine is a 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (not very recent I must say) and most audio softwares (Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper...) use them.

To add to my wonderful week, the day when I was going back to work after a couple days off cause of my dad's death, I realized someone had stolen the seat and post of my bicycle (aka my means of transport to gym and work). Talk about wanting to snap a few necks

Students have become so fucking stupid. It's called a book twat.
