What did you do today?

[rowdy]

I saw an owl on the way home.

It was sitting on a street sign looking the other way.

Then it took off and I panicked, but it was only chasing a flying insect, and landed back on the street sign afterwards.

I took some pictures, but it was already dark and the flash lit up the street sign and reflected the crap out of anything else in the picture.

Just thought I would log it here for future use, and will update when I get it.

Today I spent the past two hours working out in the warehouse at work instead of working here in the office. Felt good to get away from my desk for a bit...

Just added a stainless steel plate to the Poker X (Poker 1) of my friend.
Poker X has a high quality PCB, it's thick and solid.

The above happened on Tuesday.

Wednesday night I saw what might have been the same owl perched on the same street sign looking at the same tree.

It flew off again, but didn't fly back this time.

Last night (Thursday) I saw it again, but time time it was perched on the power line crossing the road above the street sign.  Looking around I saw a second one on another nearby power line.

I got my JD40 and replaced all the springs in its browns with 75g springs. Also I broke my toe, but that is less interesting.

I didn't break my finger, there is just a huge gash on my hand. But yeah, I really need to stop injuring myself.

[HoffmanMyster]

Today I got lunch at Culver's and dinner at Five Guys.  Mmmmmmm, burgers...

[osi]

Removed the keys from the hhkb and cleaned underneath.

Also cleaned the keycaps before putting them back on the board. Not a real bath but with ESD screen cleaning wipes.

Brought the pop of color back to my white keys!

[davkol]

Started to convert my music collection to 320kb/s MP3s, because my current setup and ears are too good for 128kb/s MP3 or worse 32kb/s WMA from times, when I didn't have enough HDD capacity and bandwidth. Good news, I'm enjoying some albums once again. Bad news, other albums were awfully mastered in the first place (like horrible bass on the Wishsides collection by Nightwish).

Oooof.  That's just brutal.    I've got a song that's probably around 32kbps because it was so long that it had to be ****ty to keep the file size reasonable.  It's quite unfortunate...

Glad to hear you're upgrading though, the jump to 320 is fairly significant.

Don't get me wrong, I love FLAC and use it all the time, but in truth it's very difficult to tell the difference between FLAC and 320.  I use it more for archiving purposes than a legitimate sound quality purpose.

That said, if you've ABXed FLAC and 320 and can tell the difference with significant results then more power to ya.

My colleagues would carpet bomb anyone who says that it is hard to tell the difference between FLAC and mp3, even 320.

I have ABXed FLAC and 320 and could not tell the difference with any statistical significance.  Have your colleagues done the same?  I will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have.  In that case, I'm impressed.  Or maybe I just have bad ears, but I don't have any reason to believe that.  Please forgive me, iri!

Oooh, great point actually.  At the time I was running into HD280 Pros, which might not have given the clarity needed to tell the difference.  I shall have to try it again with the HE 400s and see if that shows a difference.  Consider this my "What will you do tomorrow" post.

Actually, if you can use only something like laptop built-in speakers or an old $10 headset, 32kb/s WMA is barely distinguishable from 128 kb/s MP3—and the file size is smaller by a huge margin. I made these in times, when I had only a 40GB HDD... now, my whole collection takes like 80 GB of space in the middle of conversion to 320kb/s MP3.

Speaking of that, I'd have to get a new storage, if I wanted to go lossless, but the difference in music enjoyment would be negligible; certain aspects of modern mastering are often a much bigger issue that can't be easily fixed.

If I wanted to go full audiophile, I'd start a vinyl collection. I'll probably raid that great local thrift store with rare rock LPs anyway.

today i bought toribash for wii since i've been such a useless fanboy since 2007 when i had nothing to do on the web
it was worth every penny buying the wii point card, the game is equally amazing on wii, and the blood is the best i've seen in a game ever, far outdoing the original pc version with noclip ketchup blood

I have not left my house in 3 days

and I probably won't leave until Tuesday.

[paicrai]

i left my house today for something called "jærdagen"
it's a way for illegal immigrants to earn money by selling fake ****, for hairgel inhaling yoloswaggers to act gangsta in packs and girls to show off their perfectly not-attractive bodies
i didn't really want to go, didn't help my headache either
a family with 4 kids stood behind me for some reason, the kids (looked 3-5 and one in a stroller) kicked me in in the leg for some reason, and the parents just stood there... they went away when i flinched a bit
and i ****ing swear some of these people have kids for the privilege and nothing more

Convinced my friend to go topre.
