I have a busy life, just not enough time to fit it all in. If anyone has an inkling at how to build one of those devices that Michael Keaton uses in Multiplicity, I'm all ears.
ha ha - I know this life
And how many kids ?

be interesting to see if Colin does all that with young kids as well. For me it is two - both adults now. I went to Uni (undergrad to PhD) when the kids were little - one was born the day before I had an exam. Basically I did a lot of stuff when I was incredibly tired. Looking back I wish I had done less and slept more. So whilst I know the sort of too busy too distracted life Colin describes I don't live it anymore and really wish I had been calmer and more directed earlier. I got a lot done, but, so what?

Oh gosh, no kids yet, although I have a very attention-demanding pug whose playful demeanour costs me at least an hour of decent development time every day!

Busy man! I've been watching C++ tutorials on You Tube and electronics. I actually bought the Electornotes series http://electronotes.netfirms.com/free.htm and Music From Outer Space's Make Analog Synths... and wanting to try circuit bending . As well as getting some good pencil drawing and digital art graphics, together to sell, online. I'm thinking, at 49. I 'might not get married :hihi: OH, and beta testing ;)

Maybe the title of the thread wasn't such a good idea - a self fulfilling prophecy? ;-)

To while away the time, "Tangle", the modular FM synth from the maker of "The Mangle" has a very interesting sequencer and multi-point-envelope built in and nicely designed nodes to play with: http://sound-guru.com/software/tangle/

Cheers,

no, no, it was a realistic guess!

Don't worry, some extra optimising, noticing something, re writing the whole package another few times, we will be dead as soon as you know it ;)
Duh

No fear: quiet means I'm hard at work, rather than meaning I'm negotiating just how big of a gold statue Apple would need to buy me out. (And the answer, if you're reading Tim, is no less than 8 feet.)

And now you have tempted fate, you do realise that an 8 foot statue of gold to Apple is like the scratching off your ass hahaha
