Before I met you guys, I was soooo ungeeklike. I mean, all I wanted to do
was show up at an unplugged gig and plug in guitar DI to a PA that someone
else had set up. I would look at the rack of gear and the mass of cabling
and think "man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crap". I would turn
on a computer and not **** with it. If it was acting wierd , I would send it
to Dell or Apple.

Well.....last night, my 220v GC-8, which is a proprietary remote control for
at 220v Roland R-880, died. Well, I hooked up another one that I had bought
on EBay for just such an occasion and it and I don't even want to go into
the insanity that happened next, but I ended up stiing down with the 2"
thick manual and reprogramming a buch of stuff on the damn thing and now it
works. I know, I know..that's what 2" thick manuals are for...right? It's
just so out of character for me. I used to be soooo right brained. My head
didn't even explode when I sat down and did this, though I did spend a few
anxious moments when I resigned myself to the RTFM last night and sat up
until about 3:00 AM getting my head around military Rolandspeak.
Jeeezzzz.......after dealing with the cryptic reduncdancy of this manual, I
could probaly get a job as an artilleryman in the Royal Marines. In a former
life, I would have jumped up and down on it until it was in pieces and then
thrown it out the window and gone for a jog or something..........(sigh)

I mean, this is only a brief example of the stuff I find myself doing on a
regular basis nowadays. I no longer bear any resemblance at all to my former
self or just about any "normal" person I know.

OK...rant off......
