Crrringeworthy, but it's fine by me. :-)

How come NoFastMem lives? Didn't the passwords get reset?

Cool by me. How come NoFastMem lives? Didn't the passwords get reset?

[NoFastMem]

Oh, that's embarrassing. I went Mac and I'm sitting outside the library freezing my balls off for the free wireless. Haven't quite got the hang of it all yet and I thought my first post hadn't... posted. ;-)

[NoFastMem]

Okay. :-) I deliberately obfuscated my old account details when I "left" and I think it's unrecoverable. So I'm NoFastMem now, I guess. I went to Lawrence, Kansas but not for as long as I'd hoped 'cause dogs need a rabies jab six months before they return to the UK, which would mean getting a visa were I to go straight away... So I had to leave him behind in kennels which severely limited the amount of time I could be away. Also, my friend Shannon is moving back to California. If I'd got over sooner things would have been okay.

I got a flat in Scarborough and set my heart on becoming Anne Bronte. Minus the tuberculosis.

GarageBand is a lot of fun to play around with. :-) I'll upload something as soon as I get DSL here.

Thanks for all the welcome-backs. :-) Sorry I'm still kinda in-and-out at the moment but I think I'll be returning more regularly soon. :-D

*thinks aloud: Is that a good thing?*

I've tinkered with that at work (ahem, er not that I should be) but I can't for the life of me seem to actually do anything with it :lol:

I suppose I'm way too long in the tooth and dependent on OctaMED Soundstudio to learn how to use new music software :-D

It's a lot easier with a MIDI controller, if you're more into software instruments and stuff. They sell M-Audio keyboards at most Apple stores for about £50, probably cheaper elsewhere. But it's really not up to much as a sequencer and the way it works is rather idiosyncratic so it's worth reading the manual. I don't think it's something you'd want to use for serious work, though I did manage to make a good sounding rock song with just an acoustic guitar and the built-in mic. (Results soon...) :-)

How's Dale?  You said he was in the kennels for a wee while when you were away, how did he react when he saw you again?

Hope he is well enough to chase some :kitty: about ;-)

He's doing great but unfortunately I have to find him a new home. I'm on my own now with no Becky to pop round and see him and he just gets so upset if he has to be left alone that it just doesn't seem fair to keep him anymore. It's a horrible situation whichever way I choose really, so I'm just trying to think of what's best for him. :-(

Christ, how do I follow that?

Punk sis might be moving up to Scotland. She was talking about Edinburgh 'cause we visited a couple of months ago but god knows what house/rent prices are like there.

[NoFastMem]

Edinburgh was nice until some Gouranga! guy with a scabby nose told us about an Englishman getting his face ripped off for daring to walk on Scottish soil. Then we felt nervous. ;-)

It's a good job I never did have the balls to shout "one more {bleep}ing hit!"

I kid, I kid.

PS. Mac users might want to steer clear of Tesco Broadband if they're hoping to make any use of the free modem. OS 10.4 drivers for which won't appear for a month or so... :pissed:

GarageBand fun!

I don't think it sounds bad at all considering it's just an acoustic guitar and the built in mic. ;-)
