[The Low Volta]

thanks all,

quick update:

- have not yet got any job proposals in sight, but I'd like to continue with academic research and there might just be a slight chance it will happen

- but just to have a go at that long shot... I just gave away 2 months of leisure time and have just begun rewriting my thesis as a shortened academic paper

- I will also be doing a student job transfering SP-recorded interviews to PC and transcripting them, but it is payed (by the uni) and it is for my girlfriend's PHD so I'm glad to help

- I will still be going away for a week (to Southern France) at the end of August

- ...and I will still be going for some nice shows with my new stealth set up (with many thanks to greenmachine for sending me some brilliant DIY stereo mics and a marvelous homecooked batt-box )

so I know what to do with my time but just to stay on topic (a bit ):
it's goodbye 'free time'

Congratulations Volta! ... and do enjoy the sun in France!

Sorry if this is not the right place to post about computer hardware.. but my old PC Chips motherboard went up in smoke today. It shall be missed as many MP3 and wavs were recorded to MD on it.
May you rest forever in the Hardware Pantheon, old MLR 810. Good times, bad times... we had them together. The way you always handled Phantasy Star Online and my emulated games will never be forgotten. Thanks for showing me that there's more than Intel out there in the market. You shall be forever missed, my first system ever. Curse the power supply that overloaded your delicate AMD processor and memory.
*respectful silence*
Abit IS7-E2, welcome. Many tasks await to be tackled. Show me what breaking the previously unknown (by me) 1Ghz barrier means. Your predecessor left a pair of big shoes to fill. Take me to other worlds, let's live new adventures. There is still so much that remains to be done.
*sniffles as he waves a final goodbye to his first computer, now silent and lifeless...*

im sorry syrius. i was just reading this topic and i think you and i have the same motherboard. its a great board. i have had mine for roughly 3 years now and it hasnt done anything wrong. i hope you get/got a new board. amd is a good company and i think i will be stickin with them for a long time. well sorry about the old post bring up but im just reading all the stuff here.

Are we talking coffee shop that sells coffee or coffee shop in the dutch sense? Either way good luck with the venture and the new NH1.

Not sure about "in the Dutch sense" but we sell coffee, tea, cappucino. Latte, espresso and Cuban coffe, as well my wife makes her own ice cream, and different baked goods.
Will try to get a couple of pictures up in the next few days.
Take care and thanks,

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but what did you do your thesis on, Volta?

[guyj1]

Well I recently said hello to a new RH-910. I really struggled with the decision to get an Ipod but decided to give USB transfers on MD a chance cause I want to hang on to the recording capabilities of MD.

The RH-910 sounds great but for generally the same amount of money spent on all three of the MD's I have owned, the plastic construction really makes it seem cheaper quality.

I figured the ability to transfer up and down digitally would balance out this negative. Unfortunately I have had so many problems with SS as a stable platform my enthusiasm of Hi-MD is really quashed.

I think this will be my last MD cause next time I'll be saying hi to flash memory or hard drive player.

I had to say Bye last summer to my Sharp Dr480 when an auto mechanic lifted it from the center console of my car. It was a sweet unit and the best one I have ever owned. I held out for 6 months waiting on Sharp to release a Hi-MD style recorder but finally gave in to the 910

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but what did you do your thesis on, Volta?

It's titled: "Are we being served? A critical analysis and evaluation of The Bg Read and Restoration as cultural participation enhancing television projects in a context of digitisation."

and it's about the possibilities of hybrid (mixing entertainment and serious content) formats on digital TV for enhancing cultural participation with the general public... it was written in Dutch and can be found online... I'm still planning to write a short summary in English sometime, but life's a bit too hectic right now

Goodbye iPod Nano.
