Sozo 22 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Is that PdnBench program still around? I did a fair bit of searching and couldn't find any working links for the 3.2 version, and that's the most recent version I know of. I ask because I got a SSD this summer and I want to benchmark the change. Quote Placeholder, new signature under construction. Link to post Share on other sites
pyrochild 351 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 PdnBench won't work with current versions of Paint.NET. I don't think it does any disk IO anyway...

Rubrica 14 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Hi, people! Just thought I'd check on you all, see what's changed. Sad that I can barely go six months without talking to you all. So, is anything majorly new? Any new mods or rules I should know about? I'm still not likely to be posting that often (and I'm mostly a Photoshop convert now), but I just wanted to say hi. Edited September 2, 2011 by Rubrica Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,714 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi Rubrica I think the only thing that's new is the reputation system. How's Emily ? Quote ... Blue 'Til I Die ... My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
Rubrica 14 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Very astute of you to remember her. Anyway, apart from a minor incident in which she may or may not have nearly been killed, depending on who you believe (personally, I think she's just being dramatic), she's fine; I'm still hopelessly lime rent over her, although half of me REALLY hates her now for some of the little things she's said and done.

Rubrica 14 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 You're still writing on that novel? Well, I've recycled all the characters from it, made them better and started a new one, so kind of, yeah. Actually, this has been really coincidental timing; I started writing it a couple of days ago. I'm doing 50k this month, 50k in November and 50k in January. It will be a compilation of three interlinked stories resulting in a final climatic, uh, climax. Climatic climax? Eh.

welshblue 3,714 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 @ Rubrica ... I think you're a star. And a real hope for all things in the future. Since I joined here, I've always enjoyed the maturity of your posts.

Sfifer 15 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I bought a pair of Snnheiser HD 201 Headphones for around $50 and they've lasted me a good year. They have great sound quality, a long cable for if you need to move around and a 2 year warranty. Quote Blog Twitter My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites

Rubrica 14 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 @welshblue: Thanks. Around February, I might drop you a line. As for headphones, I'd recommend Skullcandy; sure, those little skulls look goddamn ridiculous, but they're good quality. Senheisser, though, as recommended, is definitely a good choice.

Kemaru 44 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Sennheiser PX-100II. Great audio quality. Great for indoors, even better on the go. They leak some noise, but it shouldn't be a problem.

pyrochild 351 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bose is overpriced. Like Apple, it's good quality, but you're paying about double just for the name.

NinjaManDan21 25 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's not overpriced, just high priced because it's the top quality, for those that want it / can afford it. Take noise cancelation, other cheaper brands work great for their price, but bose is like you cant hear anything else! plus i think the fact that noise cancelation can be turned on/off is handy too! To each his own, i guess though. Right? Quote Sig Battle Wins: 5My Gallery | Smoke>Flames Tutorial~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

BoltBait 3,136 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 My friend has a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones. I find the sound comparible to the Sennheiser ones. However, I find the Bose at 3x the price and totally uncomfortable to wear.

To each his own, i guess though. Right? No. You are wrong. Bose is a far cry from "the top quaity." There are many companies that offer higher quality equipment, and a lot of it can be had for less money. Of course, some of the true audiophile gear can also be much much more expensive, too.

I think this is true of a lot of things. I watch the Gadget Show where they test out different types of things and rate them. Quite often it's not the most expensive or best known brand that wins.
