What have you bought recently?


I like the idea of macrons being meringue poops. I hereby suggest we should officially rename them as such.

"Mmm, Maria I love what you've done with those meringue poops all over that cake"

got my replacement book for the one that came all moldy. o_O

It's actually a really good book. Also the author in the beginning says point blank. These are mere ideas or suggestions, take what you wish from it, and make it your own!

I knew instantly it was going to be a good one and by Jove it was. This figure drawing book is becoming invaluable.:confused:

Don't they need a really dark environment for those eyes?

Yeah, they're nocturnal but my little boy is less sensitive than the girl and climbs all over me regardless of lighting... but I keep the room they're in quite dark. Plus, I'm a night owl anyways :D
 
Since I'm whistling quite a lot these days anywhere I go and where I can't/won't take my larger instruments with me, I finally got two proper ones for G-minor and c-minor which I wanted to use on the session yesterday but unfortunately arrived late, fortunately they are quite awesome and have better chromatic capabilities than most of my other ones:

An adjustable power supply unit. After years of using my DIY 5A one (made from well known "Electronics lab" design) with small voltage instabilities, I decided to just buy some used one, anything cheap.

I found something really cheap, unfortunately quite old - early 1970s. After cleaning, its fan stopped being too noisy and voltages, even under load, are good, what is surprising as its capacitors are from 1973. The bad thing - it is really heavy, and the only "modern" parts are 2N3055 - the rest of technology is germanium. Inside (a few photos) there are things like part of regulator enclosed in thermostat.
 
@PCXT Fascinating read! I love seeing old technology. funny how it seems many of the older things just seem to last and keep on ticking. Im going to browse your site because it perked up my ears.:p
 
bought a new cake pan (anodized aluminum) with a normal bottom and one for angel food cake/chiffon cake :3 now i'm planning on getting a yoga mat because of all that cake i'll be eating :|

oh, and i made a cheesecake in the old pan and yay, it stuck to the bottom (there was a tiny gap between the parchment and the pan) :| plus, it collapsed a little when i opened the springform clasp :'( can't wait to make another one in the new pan...

Italian wine since I'm back, also kimbo coffee. Was hoping to have the Pyra for this trip, but the Pandora is working just fine and dandy
 
I mainly use mplayer with the --playlist option to play albums, since I've created m3u files for all of mine. CMus seems to be a popular way to play back music libraries from a terminal interface. I don't know of anything that exposes a web interface, but then I see that as a potential suite of security holes that need to be closed down, so I prefer not to open that up to begin with.

Edit: It seems cmus can be controlled over the LAN using a web interface too: https://github.com/cmus/cmus/wiki/remote-control

Car speakers, wiring, cheap amp, wood to make a speaker box for the trunk, and a new radio unit for the dash. Putting a radio in my nephew's car but never dealt with early 80's Ford's . Wiring is s mess and the fuse box isn't being easily found. My uncle has purchased 200 worth of parts and I've dumped in another 200 as well from making my own mistakes. This kid better be happy when I'm done with it lmao. No more volunteering to help on ghetto vehicles where everything is Jerry-rigged to run.

Yeah, ford's from that era were commonly found driving around with only one break light working, or the reverse light flashing instead of the indicator, because nobody could figure out how to wire it back up when repairing it. Not quite as bad a similarly aged Peugeots I found, but up there. Still, at least the bodywork holds up on old Fords, which is more than you can say for lots of cars of that vintage.
