-couple months ago now, I shaped a piece of MDF and sat it on a keyboard stand to extend my desk. can be seen here:
http://fresh.atariboy.com/atariboys_studio.mp4 (right click to save it, dont just click it-its MPEG4. you will probably need quicktime)

-I’m really looking forward to this: http://www.fxteleport.com/ to come out for OS X. Get a fast PC for a cheap processing boost! That’s the plan anyway.

-wasabi rocks

-flavour enhancers make me develop ‘rattley throat and chest’, thus making me cough…. can’t be good.

-after eating noodles i made containing mainly seaweed, broccoli, tuna and 3 types of flavour enhancer, my beer tasted like creaming soda!! ..what the…!

-it’s my birthday soon

-i wonder what constitutes good lawn grass for dogs to eat? i just watched my hound for 5 minutes sniffing a lot of grass but eating very little.

-looking forward to seeing gangs of people standing around with nokia nGage’s or similar playing wireless games… lots of advertising for them here in Melbourne inthe city… a thought… they shoudl state on some of the billboards for owners to gather there and play

-art from bitshift gave my me first trackback from his blog... thanks mayt! he recently updated his terrific plugin, PhatMatic Pro to audiounit 1.2. funnily enough, as i downloaded that update, i also downloaded the older VST version so i could use it in…...(see next point)

  • Plogue Bidule which i was playing with at the time. i was having a lot of fun playing Crystal and phatmatik pro at the same time in Bidule through an Arpeggiator … i even started a new song with something that developed out of this playing around. i bounced the results and am now working on developing it into a song in logic.

-had a great time at my friend dan’s house warming. had a good chat to another 2 tassie friends too who where there also.

-bought my ticket today to a dance party tomorrow (Saturday 1st of nov) headlining is the German, Thomas Schumacher but i bet some of the local djs will rip it up too for this reopening of a once weekly party in the early to mid 90’s. can’t wait!

-i am gonna do a website for a studio in Hawaii and one of the owners will master(plus other fixups?!?haha) the EP i am working on. sweet! this has freed my mind a lot knowing i have backup in the technical area of mastering.

-girlfriend and i bought tracktion last week. i am very impressed with its intuitiveness and girlfriend really likes it cause its easier to use than logic. it has made me realise how awesome logic is though and made me learn logic more deeply. also made me realise i am actually more comfortable in logic than i thought. i still want logic 6 though. tracktion is still a bit buggy but its getting better all the time.. i have sent some bug reports and logs… seems to have helped some problems we where having.

-called a drummer friend of mine in perth, WA today on impulse. was nice to chat about recent goings on in our lives, namely Zebra and a loop cd he is recording with someone over there. i asked him to include some funk and disco loops… i’d like to use them. hope he does! :) (hi wade!)

-i have a huge collection of james last and various funny 70’s synthesiser compilation LP’s. Switched on Bacharach!? haha.. and my favourite… not for the music itself but the concept.. its an album called ‘sounds like james last’ but it isn’t him at all… just some guy cashing on in ‘That James Last Soung!’ hilarious

-is this blog hard to read?
