Some of you may not know about Gunnerkrigg Court, the single best plot-driven webcomic in existence. If you're one of them, click that link and familiarize yourself. NAO! :wink:

Along with the comic today, Tom announced that a multi-volume print series is in production, with the first volume scheduled to drop this May. I'm not a big comic book guy, and even less of a "graphic novel" guy, but Gunnerkrigg rocks my socks, and this news brings much great happiness to my jowls. :D

A song (if you can call it a song as it doesn't have any words or a singer) that I've been working on over the past few days is shaping up nicely, when I've got a mix I'm happy with I'll upload it somewhere & let y'all have a listen :D

It's drum & bass with latin / Brazilian kinda style riffs, so it's current title is Drum & Bassil. :)

See what I did there? ;)

Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times

better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. :D

My dad got an LCD panel display from a store his company was closing. I've got quite a nice command center now. :-)

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Looking good David, I want a dual monitor setup, that way I could have Cubase / Reason / Paint.NET / Word ( :( ) open in one monitor & have all the distractions (Firefox, Foobar2000 (music player), & aMSN) open in the other. :)

The song I mentioned earlier is available here, I'm still tweaking it a bit but I shall inform you all when I update it :)

Yeah, it's really pretty helpful. I try to divide the two things I use the most, one into each screen.

Wooe Dave! Thats a nice set up you have there. I like all the windows you have around your area. Its like a cave were we've got our computer. Yours looks nice.

I like it a lot. It's actually in the little nook where our dinner table goes. :-) Thanks.

He he, dual monitors is very nice, but I don't use it as much as you may think.

I found a nice little link yesterday. Maybe I'll try to do something like that:

http://paulstamatiou.com/2008/01/25/diy-200-dollar-pc

Though I could save myself some time and get a computer I found in an ad:

500GB Hard Drive

3GB RAM

Vista Premium

TV Tuner

Dual Layer CD, Dual Layer DVD, LightScribe, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray

AMD Phenom 9600 [that's a Quad Core]

Some nVIDIA graphics card that I don't recall, but sounded cool.

All for $799 after a ton of rebates. No monitor, but I'd rather choose one for myself such as the following:

27 inches

WXGA 1920x1200

1500:1 contrast ratio

$300

Yeah, a monitor that holds more pixels both in width and height than a 1080 HDTV, and with a contrast ratio that's as good as most upper mid-range HDTVs. For $300. Bow chicka bow wow.

I labeled me as an artist funk, the tune itself is labeled Drum & bass.

Both, I used Reason (which I seem to remember you having), and used the synths & drum machine to make it happen.

I've uploaded a final version of my song, you may listen to it if you like :)

My mind... it is being invaded by repetitive and catchy drum beats! Now it's going to be stuck in my head (even more than Frojo's happy birthday mp3)! :)
