Well, this year was terrible. I had no time because of stress in the job, was stressed and grumpy as I bought presents, no good mood at all. I got a book from Jean Ziegler for my mum (this guy is not that unknown internationally I'd say) and a DVD (Moon) for my dad. Also bought a game to give away, but in the end I didn't. Kinda dumb, but that was it. I didn't get that much either though. Most important is a good frying pan, a shirt, a book,... Not that good of a christmas party it was this year in my opinion. But well...

hmmm ... I just tested copy&pasting the same text from your post and it worked. Which source did you copy the text from? Maybe this source is having a certain formatting which is copied alongside, but which is invisible to the eye of the user. I encounter this frequently ... at work, where we use a certain type of editor that doesn't like this type of hidden formatting and doesn't work in these cases. You can avoid this by pasting the text into an ordinary text editor first before then copying it out of there and posting it here. I know it's kinda a bad solution, it shouldn't be necessary to do it. But this is the only thing I can think of. And yes, probably the editor is crap. But things like that we can only solve through a new update. ... edit: Ha, fixed it. It definitely was the formatting I would say I have done exactly what I said above -- copy-pasting to an external editor, correcting the formatting, then copy-pasting back here. Oh btw, I set the bold parts just out of my mind, please check and re-set if necessary.

I tried to do this a bit, but then I got ill, with hard cough in the beginning that lasted for some weeks and then it got even worse with an absolutely catastrophic flu. The cough prevented me from playing properly and the flu was just plain awful, couldn't do more than stare at the ceiling which kept coming nearer as the fever got higher... And now I didn't play for so long I kinda don't wanna. Really wasn't my fault this time that I didn't continue doing this. Normally with other things it always is If you wanna hear the story ... I started practising with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmS7RlcIAqU I literally was falling off my chair because of laughing as I was first trying this ... the guy was producing nothing but fart noises. And me too. That was really fun. And once I got the hang of the circular breathing, I really got into it. And I then wanted to buy a didge ... but fortunately I found a ridiculously cheap alternative, which is a PVC pipe from the hardware store. Sure, not tuned properly, but good enough to get the basics and practice a bit. A cloth wrapped around one end dampens the sound as well as protects your mouth that it doesn't get sore from the pipe edges. Works very well. I totally recommend it if you wanna play around a bit but don't wanna spend money on a didge. I got so good after some practising that I got doing this once at night, at 2 am as I was coming home from an evening drinking and wanted to get sober through the breathing. I sat down on a bench near my house and promptly got interrogated by passing police why the fuck I was playing didge at two in the night on a bench out in the open. But the cops were cool, they let me play and went their way. Then came the illness and that was it so far. The pipe is now leaning against the wall right next to me. Maybe in spring I'll start again...

Very nice, I like the flow a lot and how the various elements blend together so nicely. The guitar is great, reminds me a bit of Klangstrahler Projekt and the music I listened to back then as I was in the Free Form Records phase... This sounds like the sound from back then has evolved and turned into something nice

Ong Bak ... the first one. It's just plain massive. But there also was another film starring Tony Jaa ... Tom Yum Goong it was called (I mean the elephant film). I liked that one even better because it's not as serious as Ong Bak... Ong Bak 2 was not that good. And there's a third one, but I don't know it. But the Drunken Master 2 (which is called "Drunken Master" in german) is even better than the modern stuff... More good ones I don't know. I really wanna see a Bruce Lee film one day... Oh and Old boy is great. Sick film.

Very interesting. Respect to you guys from global Sect, the release looks very promising. And I love the artwork. In fact I like the art so much that I might buy it for that alone All the best to you

I wouldn't bring the viewpoint with which an individual sees the world into connection with the question whether fire is hot or cold. It is justified to use the term "fire is hot" because It will be perceived as hot by most humans and animals. The frog, however, won't. Just a question of viewpoint. Well, maybe, but not with something as basic as fire I would say. Sure you can say fire is cold and thus you will be one of only some very few people who say that ... it's your point of view and you're free to have that. The only question is whether you'll find so many people / individuals to interconnect to who share the same point of view, so it's basically just a question how fun it is for you to say that fire is cold. But it's actually true that the viewpoint matters and not so much the circumstances. I would second that.

Yes, looks awesome indeed. Great video. I can't wait!

Believe me, I don't really like the "Limed out" skin so much myself either - the green is not too great ... but I didn't find any other that was looking as suitable and that was free at the same time. The colors, buttons or icons are not changeable by just modifying skin settings in the skin menu, at least I didn't find a method. Guess we have to change the skin's XML code ... but I am not too fond of that as I don't know how to do it and if the author allowed to modify it... I do see that the join date is gone too in that skin. Don't know if we can bring it back. I will continue the search for free skins, but I think that was the best one we would get so far. Maybe some time later when more skins are out for IPB 3.2... Hey Richpa, thanks for the offer to make a logo, I'd appreciate it. Yes, the skin does support wider logos too, but I don't know the max specs, so it's your risk. The original logo of the skin is considerably bigger than ours though...

Hello folks, so I finally found time to import a new skin. It wasn't even so easy to find a _free_ one that is compatible for this board version and doesn't look like crap. Well, there are a few skins out there, but I was specifically looking for a theme that fits our purpose, which is - name it - a "serious" looking skin with a darker color scheme that doesn't make your eyes pop when you look at it in the middle of the night ... all that while still fitting into the psynews look. I have chosen the "Limed Out" theme. I have imported it and checked how it looks. Looks and feels good to me, except for some inframes that show buttons which still appear in the old, bright background color I didn't found any glitches. Even our logo is going along with it not so bad I would say ... but if you are good with graphic design, you are of course welcom to design another one if you want. I won't do it As I didn't find any bigger flaws, I have made it available for the public. So the skin is now available for you to select from the drop down menu. If you find any flaws, report them preferrably in this thread, please. Other than that, may the eyes of the night-lurkers be cured

Austria is the last crap. I don't know if anybody watched today's match against Ukraine ... and we lost it so bad. That was awful. I know we don't play in the league of teams discussed here ... but I just have to vent it somewhere Don't count on us...

okay, now I get it

I recently did another successful trade with Pedro. Supreme guy. I confess that I was the one who almost fucked it up for being a bit scarce with my feedback and sending the money quite late. Yeah, I confess But luckily everything went well. Pedro is a great trader and I'll do it any time again I can only recommend him.

So are you doing art? Or is this "ARTificial Intelligence" thing something else?

well, I won't change my profession so soon, but in the long run I had the half-plan to study arts ... that would also be quite suitable for the driver job I think ... but I'm starting to give that up again because I just see I am not coming along with my arts plans AT ALL... I mean, I already went to an interview regarding the studies where I had presented them a portfolio of my arts (it was on the 23rd, that's my favourite number, I HAD to go there) ... and then I didn't go to the exam and now I have still not managed to get the folder back because I am too lazy and stupid. It's not going anywhere this way. So it seems like I'm going to stay IT support for some time...

Man, how cool must that be ... I wouldn't even have a problem with being sober and I LOVE to drive cars. Hell ... maybe I should apply for such a job?

I have studied information technology and telecommunications on an university of applied sciences. Not on "electrotechnican" level though, but I had a few lectures going into that. "Electronic circuitry", how to build logic circuits and all that. Currently I work as IT support in a software company. But we don't deal with ordinary computer problems, we rather do higher level things that have to do with our software... It's interesting, especially as a first job, getting to know shit and so on ... but it's not a job for a very long time to be honest.

I got something and downloaded and examined it already ... but what puzzles me is that it's just 2 files, not sure if this is right. Will play around next time I have time. At the moment I'm just waiting till the heating goes up so that I can shower with hot water before I leave for the night...

Very interesting sounds you make there, mr. DocVonOoze. I'll make sure that I remember the name for I'm very interested in further developments / releases... If you really consider releasing this type of stuff on vinyl too, respect to you!

I understand the argument of reduced levels with more tracks on the record that you are mentioning. The preamp basically has not directly anything to do with that -- at least when we're talking about a standard one from the record shop. That one's just to un-distort the frequencies etched into the record on a general level... Indeed, the grooves take up space and to really get the most out of what vinyl offers, you need to do it like on the 12" singles and put only one track (8-9 minutes) on each side. Then the grooves will be so thickly etched you can follow the track with your eyes (and even fingernails, if you dare (scratch danger)) ... it's nice, but it means that you can't get more than a track on each side ... but the sound levels will be truly awesome. But if you want to save space and put more sound on the record, level reduction is the way to go. This is not necessarily so bad ... on many of them vinyl albums you got vinyls with two tracks per side that make about 15min and the grooves close together and the sound still being great, far from terrific as the pressing plant said ... the level might be a bit lower than on the singles with just one track per side, but overall the quality difference is not so big I would say from my own listening. Plus you can tighten the gap a great deal further with a good amp at the end. In my opinion it actually depends what sounds you want to record. When you are a "Shiva Chandra"-esque kind of audio fetishist who is relying on the sound itself rather than melodies and who also has some deep frequencies scattered around tracks that need to be brought to the listener, you might want to have the best possible way to transmit the full spectrum of sound. But when you are focussing on the acid/goa sound that maybe isn't so fetishistic about every tiny detail but focuses more on the melody construct and plain delivery of energy to the listener, I'm quite positive that tightening the tracks on the record will not do it bad. People who like it loud will just crank the volume a tad bit higher than otherwise IMO... I'll be very interested to hear more news about that project of yours. I like vinyl ... and I'd probably buy it if you released it. Keep us updated

So are you saying they gonna win the Champoins League? I need a good input for a betting strategy, that's why I'm asking.
