- Ed BolandRetired AmbassadorI'm glad you're doing well, especially with quitting smoking!
Have you done anything new with music?
What kind of guitar amps do you like?
I've gotten into analogue gear for home music listening on a big way.
I'm using a valve phono preamp and a valve headphone amp. I just love the warm sound it gives my vinyls. My vinyl collection is growing too. I will need more storage for my albums soon, since they are outgrowing the milk crates I keep them in.
My favorite guitar amp? I'd say any older tube driven Marshall heads (like a JCM800) with a 60's era Celestion speaker equipped 4x12 cabinets would be my first choice... there's just nothing IMO better than that warm Marshall sound (a "Marshall Stack")... Second would be Probably a tie between Mesa Boogie and Peavy (I love my Red Stripe Peavy bandit 112 even though it's a transistor amp aka "trans-tube")
Glad to hear you're into the vintage analog audio! I totally agree, it's how sound was supposed to sound! People don't get it these days, they can't hear what they're missing from music today.. because it's not there.- Share

- Ed BolandRetired AmbassadorIt does have a 2 barrel carb so not as bad as a 4- barrel. I'll be happy if I can get 15MPG or more around town. The way I'm looking at it, is that's just extra money I'm saving by not having a car payment lol This car is paid off!! :D

- Here's a thread I started over at Android Central in response to a request for a writeup on analogue gear, not specifically related to use with Android devices: My adventures in analogue gear (turntables, vinyl LPs, valve amps, and more) - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com
Please check it out if you're more interested in how I listen to music or why I'm buying all those vinyl LPs.- Share

How much does a car like that costs? Does it count as an old-timer?- Share

- Checked what car this Chrysler is. 5,3m long? That's a boat
Are you doing any tuning on the engine, 120-130 doesn't seem like a lot. Also how is RX-8 doing?

- So Amazing Weather HD is now dead on Windows phone. It's interesting because when I was WP more, in used to use this app and Weather Flow. Weather flow died the last time I had a WP and now Amazing Weather has died...So I'm stuck with the MSFT apps for the next WP I get.
Which is just fine on the one hand, as WP is now a showcase for MSFT apps. But it just goes to show you how WP is still a showcase for the little kid shouting in the corner by itself.
Very sad.- Share

I'm looking to find something ultra cheap to drive during the summer, something like 1.2 benzin (Germans call it benzin, we call it benzin, I don't know how Americans call it, petrol?). Just need it for 3-4 months and then I'm off to college.- Share

If I manage to get accepted in top 100, then maybe I'd stay here, cause it's free in that case. Note that there are 4 departments, so it's not top100 anymore but top 25, not an easy task.
If I don't make that happen then I'll send my CV and all the documents to Graz.- Share

- I had 4.7, 4.7, and a 4.6 averages in the last three years, this one I hope for a 4.9. So that's not going to be a problem. The only issue is the entrance exam, I'll have to get ready for that one. It's taking place sometimes in 6-7 July, so plenty of time to prepare. I'll need at least 35 out of 40 points on exam, to have a total of 88 out of 100 in total.
The last person to be accepted (in the department I want to be a part of) last year had around 86 points. So that's my goal. Though results in previous years weren't really that high, people with 80 points were accpeted due to low interest, thats another thing I hope will happen :D.- Share

- I just visited this site about studying in Australia. It's kind of bad. Poor with informations, unlinke the Austrian sites I visited. And this one is government's.
For example, I was looking for Academic requirements and all I got was "those vary from institution to institution or level of education you want to study". This would be somewhat fine if there were links leading to sites what would define those requirements. But nope. Nothing.
I'll have to search some more.- Share

the rx8 is gone.. needed an engine, plus paint job, new tires, brakes, etc so I sold it and decided to buy this classic American made car with an engine that I know how to work on.. yes, this is a luxury car, but the 318 can be built to put out much more horsepower with tons of performance parts available on the market.- Share
