You may visit whenever you want Kneenibble. Why would I say no?
And don't worry about making sandwiches, as host I'll make them myself.
Unfortunately, I can't play any Tchaikovsky myself and only have one CD of his music.
They probably won't. One is too fat and lazy. But the other one is old and crafty... I'll keep a close eye on her for you.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Short answer: Indeed!
Long Answer:
SpoilerNot fully mine in all fairness, it's just the result of being a second generation audiophile, fourth generation musically-inclined. The music room is product of my father soundproofing a room for his use as office in which he put his drum kit and his keyboards and synthesiser; it also happened that he used to have a roller-derby disco before he had to sell his share due to risking his university permanency due to having to manage the disco and study for law school, his business partner also decided to sell alongside him and my father got to keep both the mixing equipment (since he was the only one who knew how to use it and because he had paid the greater share of it) and the speakers [Concert Grade !JBL] (which the person renting to them actually sold at about 10$ since they had rented them for so long they had paid the buying price around thrice and he felt bad for the young men).
With time he managed to build a rack of equipment in between mixers, recorders for VHS, Tape, CDs, and vinyl (and later DVD, and finally just skipping medium to direct to digital). And of course all of the wiring needed for it and accesories, for... well, everything, including several sets of pedals for keyboards and drum kits, the pedals for the guitar and the bass, amplifiers, etc. He never recorded however, and never got to fully use the synths or the keyboards because he was more of a percussionist and because he learnt accordion, not piano, meaning his basses are... not very mobile; so he never had enough time or energy to record, the use of the room being mainly musical reproduction and the most amazing experience ever in concert watching.
Enter his young first-born which loves both everything digital and everything musical. I myself have a Yamaha Clavinova (which I update every certain time lapse to a newer model thanks to Yamaha's payment plans and trading in payment options) which has an inbuilt mixing console and midi recording and a UltraNova synth which has vocoding, mixing and general synth feature; with my father help we set it up in my room and built a surround system connected to a centralised mixer. When recording I either set everything up in my room including the laptop which gets the mixer's output or I split recording into two floors, or I just take the UltraNova to the music room and use his keyboards instead of my clavinova. For most recordings I can do fine in my room except when they involve wind instruments or non-synth strings because I need a proper mic set-up for those.
At times I borrow his sets of pedals and build myself a "Hammond-esque", where the synth is set to playing an organ with the touch setting (which is a fancy way of saying the nobs on the top) programmed to emulate the draw-bars, the pedals linked to his synth set to producing organ bass and my clavinova being set to the usual pre-made loop running of the Hammond on the left and the right set to the proper Organ sound. Effectively making a temporal Hammond (not that it can't make other organs, most organ anatomy's can be reproduced with this setting.)
What are thy music creation tools? A Grand Piano if not a double tailed one, I presume?
It's the only instrument were you can feel every single vibration you produce, where each keystroke and pedal pulsation MAKES everyone hear it out. You feel the organ and every pipe, you can feel your bones tremble as you put more pressure into the key.
Playing one is a singular experience because of the mix between grandioseness and the fear of a wrong keystroke, you both love and fear the instrument, while playing you can feel the sound wrap around you and you can feel the difference each note makes in the air. Playing a Für-Chapel-Arranged version of Megaman 3's theme is not recommended however, specially when done in hiding. Händel and Bach as well as Gregorian pieces are highly recommended on the other hand and very much encouraged by both parishioners and bishops.
It's the nearest one can, within human beings hope to become part of the sound one makes, feeling each sound made and unmade by the air and the reverb as the organ shakes the foundations of the very place it is under.
You are formally invited to my residence for as long as my parents stay on the country house; they probably won't mind the disappearance of some Chardonnays, a couple of Prioratos and a Pinot or two.Last edited by AsteriskAmp; 2012-10-02 at 12:13 AM.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Nope, nothing to worry about. One night later and even with the knowledge of where to look I can't find any remaining traces. The bad news are that there now should be miniscule grease stains on my cover. The good thing is that miniscule actually means miniscule.
19, because I remember your last birthday. Also, you joined in 2011 and your 20th birthday was in 2012 (i.e. this year).
It's also true. You're the classiest budgie I've ever had the honour to meet (albeit not in person).
My hometown isn't all too bad, seeing how it has lots of history and a fairly good building planning over the ages based around the idea that no house should reach over the treetops. Sadly, that's all changing in the last few years.
My dream would be to move out to a lagom large house on the countryside but close to the city. It should preferably lie next to a lake where I can house a seaplane and do watery stuff, and also have high-speed internet access, because I'm a computer guy after all. Also, it'd have a tower. I love towers. And the tower would be built from natural stone and have ivy growing up along its walls.
So, everyone assumes that your brother gave you his old Android, but that's not actually true when you get to the bottom of it? Factoid...
This is the dumbest statement in all of computer history.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

But Teddy, it's not dumb at all. Computers are prone to errors. So a computer claiming to be incapable of errors is not dumb: it is just another error

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Well it could be. But perhaps this is a especially mysterious case. If I didn't know, I'd be pretty curious to find out too. I can understand why one'd be concerned with it.
But hey! congratulations Tragic_Comedian and said persons sibling! Always a memmorabe and happy occasion. Unless you happen to spawn something unholy. Though we can be fairly sure that's not the case here. As such, Uncle or Aunt (you really should get yourself examiend), have a great day. Make lots of memmores. This will be a big one.You ever punched a polarbear for making you miss the buss? It's fun.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Tell me about it. In these last few days, I've seen more erratic behaviour and stranger errors than I've ever seen before. Just today, I had to malloc a number of rather temporary variables just because they insisted on overwriting critical data on the stack (although I suspect that's due to an oversight somewhere in the original code, which I got from a friend (it's all a part of the assignment)), and yesterday, two of my classmates got a bug that changed the terminating NULL byte of a string to \001 in one case, resulting in erroneous behaviour. The solution: swap places between the faulty line of code and the following one (both calls to the same initialiser function, but with different arguments, neither dependent on the other in any way, except for which one gains access to memory first).

Well, I wouldn't think they requried familiarity to realize that they are, in fact, jokes. But hey, it's good to know that this material is still original to someone.
She just called me. It's a girl!
