Just curious, cause now I'm a little confused....when you mean 'startup items' did you add it to the System V bootscripts, or to the startup items in Ubuntu's GUI (GNOME)? Because I'm not so sure that the GNOME startup items will execute before the user logs in, which is a problem for your...

See the "search this thread" link @ the top? I can't help you directly because I don't have that kind of space or those kind of lights--maybe someone else will. But--give a man a fish, feed him for a night; teach a man to fish and feed him for the rest of his life.

McIntosh is very nice too. I can't afford gear like that, I get by with the nicer Yamaha and Denon stuff from the 90s, with some NAD (plus some Kenwood and TEAC stuff I'd like to replace. The Kenwood stuff never sounded great and is wearing out, and the TEAC gear sounds OK but still is not as...

Yeah, Cary's a cool company. If you're theater is all Cary gear, I'm jealous. I couldn't find anything like the CAD you mentioned from them these days. I know that the cheaper Furman units are easy to find, and (fairly) effective in terms of isolating EMI: Furman M8X Merit Series Spike...

Great work! Glad to see it all worked out. I hope I do as well!

Yeah, maybe. It can't hurt, though. I have a cheaper Furman model on my HPS, as my building power is fairly dirty and tends to have a lot of voltage fluctutation and line noise. Plus, I don't want EMI from ballasts to be wreaking havoc on my computers, hifi & studio equipment, radios, etc in...

Cool! Yeah, out of force of habit I would never tell someone to hardcode a sudo password into a script like that but it will definitely work! What happened when you tried to run it out of init? Did you check atq to see if the job was accepted? If not, did you try manually invoking both scripts...

Those who have a ton of plug management to do and are concerned about power draw (as well as equipment protection) might do well to pick up a few of these (one per circuit and/or plug point, depending upon your layout.) Power conditioners/distribution centers like this typically have built in...

cmak is right on. It's very helpful to have a good print reference on hand. This one is VERY cheap-- $10 online, was cheaper at my hardware store -- and surprisingly comprehensive: I have it and am very pleased with it. Their room finishing guide might also be helpful for those who need to...

More resources: Very good encapsulation of the electrical/hydraulic analogy, with detailed subsections: Water circuit analogy to electric circuit Actually, the whole section of Hyperphysics on electricity and magnetism is good. The diagram linked above comes from here. HyperPhysics Concepts...

I'm missing some of my favorite links, can't find em at the moment, but here are some good basic introductions and references for home wiring. Good tutorial on basic concepts: Electricity Tutorial Basic DIY'ers websites with basic coverage of most areas and applications: Do it yourself home...

It's the kind of joke that doesn't survive explanation.

The cables and vents thing just sounded more like something I'd attempt than Al would approve of, that's all. I'm just a little surprised that he doesn't regard that kind of rigging as too sketchy to rely upon--but I suppose in principle it's simple enough to avoid most complications.

The hamster goes in first, the the twine holds the kazoo in place. You have to be careful to setup the Gere ratio correctly for efficient generation.

Sure. Here's what you need:

And lo, the ass-man cometh.

Only Paul's Boutique and maybe Le Son Hip du Monde Hop (aka The In Sound From Way Out) are really psychedelic, though. YouTube - Beastie Boys -B-Boy Bouillabaisse (Prt 1) Although, if you like the turntable-heavy Beastie sound and you want trippy, what you REALLY want is DJ QBERT &...

From the psychedelic rock lineage, it seems like Procul Harem deserves another quick plug: YouTube - Procol Harum Cerdes There's so much more, I don't even want to try and figure out my other favorites as I'd spend hours trying to make sure I'm not missing something important. But here's...

A chunk of stem can pop an ember if you're burning down a whole dense nug in a big party bowl. Is that what you're up to?
