Hehe, well Northcote is more my age group probably. My guess is that I'd
be more likely to get laid there, but on the other hand if I was to get laid
in St Kilda, there's a lot more mid 20's over that way... so it depends
whether I would prefer a better chance of getting laid by a 33 year old,
or a smaller chance of getting laid by a 24 year old...

....mmm, so much to consider. ;o)

Cheers,
Kim.So sony got fined $10 Mil... we as consumers should get that refund,
otherwise whats the point.

I hope they go after Hollywood next... then they should go after Pepsi...
then how about Guitar Center.. and Walmart... Boeing... Halliburton... and
finally the US Government itself.... and I want a refund off all that
shit.Isn't change great? Good time to take your shit to the next level. I
know nothing about Oz other than it sounds like a real nice place.
Based on the info you posted, you got a good vibe off Northcote, which is
somethin.... but the beach... is there any advantages to the properties in
the areas, cost/view/public util/broadband, etc? good stuff... send us
some pix... actually im gonna check out those 2 places on google earth rite
now

Since the "Paris Smpte track to Sierra interface to the Dakota converting

would you suggest?

Thanks,

Yeh we're pretty south. I don't think there's any cities this big further
south. It's not incredibly cold though. I mean it's obviously not extra warm,
but it's winter here at the moment and it's been like 18 celcius, which is
like 65 F. Not extra warm, but it's been fine and sunny. There's no risk
of snow, or of your car frosting up overnight.

I'm trying to find some pics of Northcote. Stupidly I actually drove through
there earlier today and should have taken a couple of snaps with my mobile
but I didn't. I can't seem to find any.

Suffice to say that Northcote's life is centred mostly around a street, originally
called "High St", which is one of those streets with a long hodge podge of
mostly shopfront buildings of wildly varying ages. It's a fairly busy street,
with a tram line running down the middle of it... not the kind of street
you want to step out onto without looking twice. It's a road with parking
on both sides, trams going both ways (I think you guys call trams "cable
cars") and almost, but annoyingly not quite, enough space between the parked
car and the tram to drive a car in between. ;o) From shop to shop you can
find anything from electrical goods, food, coffee, fruit, bread, bars, and
most anything else you can imagine.

I've attached a coupple of pics from Real Estate sites of shopfronts in High
St currently selling. OK, so they're boring stores that are selling, but
you can get a vague idea of what the street looks like if you imagine some
bars and other stores, and "cable cars" and the like...

....hold on, can only get one pic on the web interface at once... ok... three
posts...

Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Mike,

The Behringer units I have used are as follows:

..........whatever the 8 channel headphone unit was called back in
1998-caught on fire.

.............whatever the single RU line mixer was called in 1999-sounded so
bad I gave it away (and probably have a Karma debt to pay for this, but
hey........... the guy wanted it and I didn't charge him)

The 8 channel fader thingie last month-the USB port was defective, but prior
to it's demise, the combination of the Behringer driver and the defective
port somehow managed to managed create some kind of evil code hit which sent
the RME drivers in my Cubase DAW into shock, requiring the drivers be
removed, removal of the hardware, reloading of everything.

everything to it. Our drummer hasn't been able to show up, so we tried
buiding a drum part phrase by phrase, and pasting it together all at the
same tempo. No matter what we used in the studio for mtc source, the
new part drifted about 91 milliseconds over the 4 minute song. Tried
using time compression but the drift wasn't linear. Now we're looking at
through composing the drum parts to get them lined up with the original
tempo...

Where have all the drummers gone....(in shades of Peter Paul and Mary)
