    Got a nice letter from HMRC today, and a second letter containing a fairly fat cheque! I "really" don't need any new guitar stuff so I think I'll be having a much better holiday next year than what I had planned :D

    Well, I "might" get a new tremelo pedal, but the rest will be on the holiday. I like to keep the littlegreenwoman happy :)

    plus I sent my amp off to the manufacturer on Monday and it's back, working. Replaced all the transisters, a blown cap and remade all the power connections just in case. Wow, that was quick. @chillidoggy

    Rather happy I just got these two double vinyl live recordings off ebay to add to the Steve Vai collection :) http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab217/Vizzage/Mobile Uploads/image_zps4487e9a6.jpg http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab217/Vizzage/Mobile Uploads/image_zpscbe5c21c.jpg

    I'm sure they will turn out to be unlistenable for a variety of reasons but I always enjoy hearing Vai do some new twiddles.

    I recognised some of those licks but couldn't place where you've borrowed (and adapted) them from

    Neither can I mate - I thought the notes just tumbled out like that but they could well be borrowed! I'm glad they selected a section that's completely in one single mode though, I did about 10 minutes of widdly widdly stuff all over the place and that's the few seconds they chose lolll.

    There's a little bit at the start which reminds me of a Phantom Blue track (Time to run) but not entirely.

    About the only time an official document containing the phrase "5 minors" is a good thing.

    Passed my driving test. So jonnybradford is very smiley happy.

    Dicking around with the ESP, a Marshall and a badmonkey and getting and awesomes Motorhead-esque sound. And getting a song down on the first attempt kinda made me happy last night.

     

    Ok it was Motorhead's Damage Case, so not the most technically challenging song ever, but it made I happy.

    I seen to recall on one of the DVD's they play Damage Case and Lemmy says afterwards something like "If you're wondering who fucked that up...it was ME!"

    • I just got the i/o board doing what I want it to do :)
    • Our main hardware building man has made me a box with a set of switches for inputs, and LEDs for outputs, to which the i/o board is connected, so I can run various tests from my PC-resident test program :)
    • The box can be used to simulate inputs from and display outputs to the real hardware that the PC-resident control program will be handling so this new toy will be very useful in system testing away from a real site :)

    The box to which I previously referred is doing its job! I found the effects of and corrected a software fault in the control program's message handling code, and have spent a happy half hour flicking switches and watching the software make the appropriate reactions :)

    Guitargeek62’s Schaller tuners turned up today. Rickenbacker trapeze tailpiece is on its way. I can't wait to fit them to my Jim Harley 330. John Hall will be mad with rage.

    I have a hangover.

    Ordinarily, this wouldn't be smiley-happy, but I went to the pub last night, to meet up with a couple of the guys from the band I quit in a red mist a year ago. It was good to just sit and chat, especially after the ever-increasing stress and disasters of the last month or two. I haven't managed to get out much at all since...oh, probably about September. Add the fact that I work from home, and I basically haven't had external human contact for months apart from the band.

    So yeah...pub. Great :)

    Nice. You should have had a spoon of honey before going to bed! Eliminates hangovers. It's unbelievable.

    Funnily enough, I usually have a salt and pepper sandwich (gets rid of the spinny-room problem) and a pint of something sugary, like lemonade.

    Unfortunately I got in at about 1am and the wife and daughter had to be at work for 5:30am, so I didn't want to do my usual crashing-about-the-house-looking-for-food thing.

    No, has to be honey. It has an enzyme that processes the alcohol more quickly so you have your hangover while still asleep. It really works!

    Right, I'll try that if I get a chance. I tend to drink rarely, though - I probably have more than 3 pints maybe three or four times in a year - so I'll probably forget this advice when I most need it next ;)
