We come in peace...we leave in pieces

Back again

The last couple of months before christmas were quite hectic. I also procrastinate so this should explain the lack of activity in this here blog... Christmas was fun, got a few cool presents and such and probably drank more than I should...

I really want a minimac. It is the coolest thing and it is very cheap. I've always/wanted needed a Mac and this is the best deal. I'm not retiring my PC obviously but I will end up doing most of my stuff on the minimac and hide the PC somehwere (use it either through Remote Desktop or VNC...probably Remote Desktop cause it actually works really well on both linux and windows where I've tried it so I assume it will work well on the Mac)...

I think I will get the higher end model after all cause it's not that much more expensive and the bigger HDD + the superdrive is a decent selling point...

I've also played around with Skype and have been really impressed. It just works!..The quality is also really good , while their SkypeOut rates are great... I can really see it catching on as more and more people switch to broadband...

Finally, apart from the minimac I'm hoping I can gather up enough money (will know next month) to buy some recording stuff...

Namely this : Behringer Digital Console

With 2 of these for interfacing : ADAT Interface Add-On Card

And finally to hook it up to the PC: RME Hammerfall ADAT PC Interface

Oh..and let's not forget the output system :) : Genelec Nearfield Monitors
