I grabbed the essentials at the supermarket and bolted out of there because of these 2 kids, full on screaming. One had climbed to the top of the soft drink aisle shelf and was evading any attempts to get him down. The other had cleared out part of a shelf and ran around to the next aisle and cleared out the other side of the shelf to create a kind of tunnel, through which he also was screaming. One staff member was trying to cajole the kid down off the shelf and he was just laughing and screaming. The other staff all had this painful tight, pinched look on their faces. The noise broke me, and I went to the variety store nearby for a kitchen benchtop storage solution. Came home and made that solution work (looks tidy and organised ✅) and ate half a packet of Butternut Snaps 🤰🏼
Today I played mini golf in the Flinders St ballroom. It was very cool. Super arty mini golf- for one hole, you put on animal tails and use the tail as your golf club. Very fun.
Slept pretty well which was nice. Once I’ve finished with the PT it’s time for another nap and a chill night.
Next week is interview central so doing fuck all this weekend. I generally get sick of sitting around not being productive after a couple of days so this works for me.
A friend invited us over for a lovely beach walk and a feast of a dinner with delicious, heavy things. Now trying to resist the food coma or I'll be up and pacing at 3am. Word searches and bright coloured pens for some relaxation time.
Its a fine grained hardwood - very popular in late 1800s for furniture, and again in the 70s & 80s, as both durable and beautiful. Then the supply of that timber (from old growth forests) bottomed out and imports from Indonesia/Malaysia pretty much took over the furniture market. Your pen may well be repurposed timber from old/antique furniture, as new timber of that variety doesn't often come onto the market now, and what can be cut under the current strict licence conditions mostly goes for musical instruments. Treasure it - it's beautiful.
I'm stealing "suburban day" to explain my day to people. My inner city friends wonder about life in the burbs, it's unremarkable but there's a peace to it as well.
Hooray just ordered the bits for a new 'puter for a DAW.
Upgrading from an old 2600k lol. That kicked the bucket about a year ago so a good 12 yrs of service. Using a shitty slower (but newer-ish) one since it died. I miss that rig. It became very temperamental, suffered water damage from water cooling mishaps, and spilt wine on it accidentally a few times..
New one will be quick but it won't have the same battle scars or charm :(
Eee 64gb of ram so look out kontakt! bit of a jump from the 16gb in the old one lol.
Going for the 9700x. Don't need gfx thankfully. mb just entry level gigabyte eagle ice. Nothing crazy.
Also have to get a new audio interface as the old RME one is legacy PCI and I think that kicked the bucket too :( Tempted to try and swap out a few caps and try a PCIe -> PCI adapter but honestly I have no idea what I'm doing there.
You had an internal PCI? I've never seen one in the wild.
The saffire claret is a really decent interface. Beats out the standard saffire by miles if you don't mind focusrite. But admittedly RME are absolute beasts.
I'm the same with graphics card I think it's a super old 2070 but I don't game on PC so no great loss considering how expensive new cards are these days.
Ooh that does look like a good interface. Heard good things about focusrite's drivers too.
Yea it was an old RME 9632, so stable (and took a bit of the wine I spilt lol, kept working though). I will miss it if I can't give it life again.
I'm starting to look at the Scarlett 4i4, SSL 2+ mkII or the MOTU M4. The MOTU does have pretty levels leds on the front heh. Bit of a step down from the RME but practicially probably doesn't matter.
I've got this!!!!. I'm ready just for this occasion. ( been waiting ages to post this ) This is a ham and cheese croissant I got you in Hobbiton. 🧙♂️🥐🐷🧀
Home & Away, set in Ancient China's Forbidden City. Everybody wearing floor length silk bathrobes and enough gold hairpins to stock a medium sized sunburst. The murders, the romances (appropriate & inappropriate), the betrayals, the promises of undying loyalty which promptly get broken. Gorgeous sets. Pregnancies galore. And EVERYBODY has perfect hair & makeup except those that have gone mad and been locked up for life (before the Emperor sends them a dose of poison via his favorite eunuch). This one was the Legend of Zhen Huan.

Had a perfectly suburban day today.
Grocery shop and a browse around local shopping centre. People who don't understand personal space, got hip checked.
Early afternoon gym session, weights and sauna. Felt amazing.
Proper afternoon nap.
Went out for dinner, now keeping my missus awake until our daughter needs a ride home from a party.

Hooray just ordered the bits for a new 'puter for a DAW.
Upgrading from an old 2600k lol. That kicked the bucket about a year ago so a good 12 yrs of service. Using a shitty slower (but newer-ish) one since it died. I miss that rig. It became very temperamental, suffered water damage from water cooling mishaps, and spilt wine on it accidentally a few times..
New one will be quick but it won't have the same battle scars or charm :(
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 359d
Fuck yes!!!!! What are you getting and does it have a million gigs of ram lol
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 359d
Eee 64gb of ram so look out kontakt! bit of a jump from the 16gb in the old one lol.
Going for the 9700x. Don't need gfx thankfully. mb just entry level gigabyte eagle ice. Nothing crazy.
Also have to get a new audio interface as the old RME one is legacy PCI and I think that kicked the bucket too :( Tempted to try and swap out a few caps and try a PCIe -> PCI adapter but honestly I have no idea what I'm doing there.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 359d
9700x with 64gb is unstoppable lol
You had an internal PCI? I've never seen one in the wild.
The saffire claret is a really decent interface. Beats out the standard saffire by miles if you don't mind focusrite. But admittedly RME are absolute beasts.
I'm the same with graphics card I think it's a super old 2070 but I don't game on PC so no great loss considering how expensive new cards are these days.
