Awesome wallpaper!

Hey Milien,

I envy you as I would like to live in DC. I have a sister in Great Falls and several close cousins in DC. My grandparents are buried at Arlington too. Come out and visit! Don't forget to watch 'The OC' on Fox, Wednesday nights.

Well about 70% of the time I would say you don't want to live here. Then the other 40% I think of things like living close to two Apple stores and there are even 2 more if I want to drive a little more, also the opportunities that I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Do you know what section your grandparents are in at Arlington and what branch they were? I am in the Honor Guard which performs military honors so I am there 3 - 5 times a week.

Hey nate_02 your setup and your office remind me of the final cut pro 4 ad in magazines, looks the same gray color on the wall, the desk, the phone, etc.

you have the same mixer as me

nate_02 - I have a sound/music question (your posts suggest you know this stuff!)

I have been toying with different speakers. I have the Soundsticks (usb) and I am now trying the bose 3 companions. I like them both, but I notice a hiss/hum during silence or soft music with the bose using the audio-out port but not with the soundsticks via usb - is this normal? I also have a small behringer mixer that I could use with the setup - I have a 17" PB (rev A) any advice?

Hi MacsGalor,

Ah yes, it is nice to live near two Apple stores. I have Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, plus numerous other LA locations.

I'm not sure what section number they are in. I only know exactly how to find it. They are near the right walkway that leads up to JFK. If you were to look over to your right kind of on a knoll there is a large black granite headstone. My grandfather was a lieutenant in the Navy. He was also Interior Secretary under Truman, head of TVA and the War Production Board under Roosevelt. My grandmother is buried in the same grave as they allow that I guess. His name was Julius Albert Krug. There are also a bunch of Supreme Court Justices buried in the same area. My sister knows the section and has a pass to drive in, since she lives in VA.

What a noble thing to be an honor guard at such a hallow place. So much history around you. So much pain in so many peoples hearts to have loved ones there. Thank you for performing such a duty. I remember well what a wonderful ceremony you take part in. It must bring pride and comfort to those families you
help to bury a loved one.

Take care!
Peter

Just need a few more bells and wistles including an Xraid, then I'd be set.

nate_02 · Nov 9, 2003 , 01:51 PM

The digital audio from the USB port to the soundsticks will probably be cleaner then the analog audio in the bose although the difference shouldn't be too noticeable. If you have another computer you can try the bose speakers on, that will tell you if your audio out on your PB is bad or if it is the speakers. Your little mixer might clean up the audio a little bit.

Make sure that the output on your PB is more toward the high side so you can turn down the volume on your speakers. The higher the volume on your speakers, the more chance for hiss.

I don't know about you, but I'm not getting in-between a knoll and anything called JFK!!!

I think you're right.

However, I rest peacefully in the knowledge that the B-3, Rhodes, and Clavinet are waiting in the rehearsal studio, a twenty-minute drive away.

Love the Logitech mouse, I have one as well.

Bit out of date now...

That nasty Epson went to the tip - a nice Canon S9000 is there now.

It sounds like you might be talking about section 33. I can kind of see where you are talking about but it would be hard to find, if you get the maker number let me know and I will pay my respects. And yes they allow two people to use the same grave, they stack the vaults. And unless the granite headstone you mentioned is theirs your grandfathers name would be on one side of the stone and your grandmothers would be on the other.

These are some pics of my setup at home. I use an iCurve stand at work and administer my schools small lab and iBook cart with Remote Desktop from an eMac on my desk. I'll post that tomorrow. I have a 12" PowerBook G4 1ghz/768mb/40gbHD/SD/Airport Extreme running Panther 10.3.1.

By the way, that's a Palm Tungsten | T on the desk, with a Dazzle Media card reader. On the floor is a LaCie 80gb HD, a Buslink 32x12x40 CD-RW drive, and a 3rd Generation 10GB iPod in the gray sleeve.

Very nice! So what's that you're working on on your PB? :D

all2ofme · Nov 12, 2003 , 08:06 AM

I think you mean me - it's an M6TTL which I've had for a while now. I love it (most of the time). I don't love it when it's cold and I don't have my gloves with me...

And to the person who was asking about whether I'd recommend the set-up: yes, but it could definitely be a bit faster. I've got the 1GHz 12" with 768MB of RAM and when I'm mucking around scanning and editing in Photoshop things can get really slow. The images I'm dealing with are normally c.70MB (i.e. 35mm scanned at 2900dpi into a 16bit file) so they're large but not huge. The 17" I had with 1GB of RAM was noticeably better, but not enought to warrant keeping a laptop that was that much bigger (and especially not when I'd rather spend the difference on other things).

I think I'll get a G5 at some stage to go with it for the Photoshop work.

I like those M4Ps but I'm not convinced about the M7s. I'm getting off topic, though
