I'm going to another New York Dolls concert today...woohoo! :-)
mowlie 2000 - The virus PhryDom mentioned is fairly common. It goes into the victim's address book, steals an address from it, and emails itself to others in a way that makes it look like it came from the stolen address.
You don't have the virus. PhryDom doesn't have the virus. The other people he mentioned don't have the virus. The person who has the virus is the person who has that whole list of people in his / her address book. It would be someone who was not on that list.
It's probably a T2Jer. It could be me, for example...but it's not because my computer is virus-free and I don't use address books.
962 - "Chris Whitcombe's Cold Zero"
Cool...I'll add it to my ever-growing list of books that I want to buy...
gtrplyr857 - I haven't heard anything official, but I do know that Joe was majorly P.O.'d when he played at the Tabernacle a few years ago because the venue turned it into an 21+ gig so Winston could give out free cigarettes. If they tried to do something like that again this time around, maybe Joe switched venues.
I would suggest emailing the webmaster (webmaster@satriani.com).

i'm very excited about half life 2 (and halo 2 as well)... the delays have definitely dulled the eagerness though. also just got doom 3 a week and a half ago. the restrictions to corridors and small areas suit the game's mood well i thought. also, having an actual writer for the plot was a HUGE step in the right direction for all games. doom3 really was one of the most fun games i've ever played.
it was fun from start to finish, just hard enough on the normal setting, enough strategy involved, enough luck involved and everything.
a bit of a different genre than halo, but i think if it had come out at the same time as half life 2 it certainly would have given it a bit of competition.

stu clone - i'm sure, and from what i've heard doom 3 is pretty good, but more than half of the people i've talked to say it relies purely on darkness for it's mood. you're not allowed to carry a torch and a gun at the same time, and it plays tricks on you where you turn round, and when you turn back there's all of a sudden a monster there, etc.
The multiplayer from Hal-Life 2 (which is Counterstrike:Source) is going to be buyable and downloadable from this coming week onwards on Steam... yet another bit of pressure on Vivendi to pass the release candidate and go gold... (there's been a load of legal going-ons between the companies which is a large reason for the delays).

Artanis I - Do you remember when you were asking about these Lego men (about a month ago)?
I saw something yesterday (at a Lego store near the House Of Blues in Anaheim) that is similar. They had keychains with the blue guy, although his chest was slightly different. Instead of a white and blue shirt, he just had a blue shirt. The planet was still there, but it was larger and was centered on his shirt. They also had a guy in white painted to look like an astronaut.
What did you need these Lego guys for? Is it a part of a collection (which is why you would need the old ones), or is it just hard to find space Legos down under?
If you want some of these, let me know and I'll pick some up next time I'm in the area (I'll be there tonight, but you probably won't see this until after I leave...). They were about $4 each, because they were part of a keychain. A keychain connects to their helmet, but it can be pulled out...
Anyway...
...Austin...

aarren no i am saying that someone who has this worm has your email address in their address book. read my other explanation to dck for more info. i never said, nor do i think, that you or your computer are infected.
benny did you ever see lego porn? he's moved on now, but his old site is still there at drew.corrupt.net - there's a link there somewhere
today was my first real "goodbye".... there were no tears, but they were silently cried by both parties.... reminiscing about old memories, jokes, etc... laughing a lot, but all the while knowing this is bigger than we're lettng on.... good and bad.... very sad......
SOTD: Anything by Tortoise or NIN - we used to work to that stuff. Enjpy your weekend all and love your friends; you never know when goodbye really is goodbye...... Dave

Guildford-ites...
I saw the bearded lady in Sainsbury's today... she's cut her hair! (I think she cut it, it looked a real mess...) She was buying, amongst other things a raspberry (or possibly strawberry) tarte. Just thought you'd like to know...
General sane people- welcome to the cheerful insanity of jellyman, jellyman and a local person. Points and gold stars to those who get the reference. This is the area in which at 01.53 I start rambling on about any given topic. Tonight's topic? Tomato Ketchup manufacturers of the United Kingdom.
Heinz Tomato Ketchup is the well established king of tommy Ks in Great Britain. With a trademark red and white label, this is a well-balanced ketchup- if the most expensive. Daddy's is the only other well-known brand ketchup available, although I have not tried it for years.
Supermarket own-brands are usually the cheapest way obtaining decent quality ketchup. in fact, Sainsbury's came joint first in a food magazine taste-test (higher tomato content, a nice fruity flavour- my personal favourite).
Notable is the price difference between squeezy and non-squeezy containers. Whilst the traditional glass bottle is cheaper than the plastic alternative, the plastic is less likely to break when poorly juggled with, and is easier to get the final bits out of. All things considered, there is very little difference in price between the two, and the choice comes down to personal preference. My choice is for the squezzy bottle, due to the amusing farting noises that can be made with it.
Novelty coloured ketchup has come on the market recently. Distrust it. If you've eaten my blue pancakes you'd know why.

Just being stupid... people don't get endorsements without being able to play the guitar. There's an old gallery of guitars of his in the archive, and he uses different guitars from time to time in the studio, but Ibanezs are the ones for him.. welcome to the site...

Whew,
Back from two nasty Hurricanes(Frances and Jeanne) and 22 days of NO POWER!! to my house. Everything has been torn up But, I will still make it to the OCT 8th Show at the HOB in Orlando, FLA.
Joe, I have just one request for the show and it's for Lights of Heaven, With Jupiter in Mind, and Lords of Karma to be played at the HOB show. Just consider it a Hurricane Relief request and it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and See you Friday Night in Orlando,
DBarnes

Michelle:Sounds like you need some Achey,stuffy,fever,cough,sneeze so you can rest medicine!...Just reading your post made me sniffle a few times..lol...You poor thing.I used to get sinus pressure headaches every time a front came through.It was awfull.....until I had my wisdom teeth taken out a few years back.Now I don't get the anymore!....
Clarky:
What would be the name of this engineering mag?....I am interested too:)
I have been learning some cool stuff on my new computer lately.I have managed to get 4000 MB RAM from my hard drive solely for recording.It's called Virtual Memory/Paging....which can be done rather easily in the advanced menu's.What a big difference.No more dropouts in the middle of a tune.I still have to bounce now & then to simplify a project.I am having a blast.I still want to learn as much about the computer & CakeWalk before I start to take recording seriously.I don't want to spend the time getting something right on disk until I have learned that program inside & out.I'd hate to have to do things over to get better quallity sound.I have 24 bit / 96,ooo capability so I am going to use it.....

Nice to see ya pop in once in a while!!!:)How's things going in the land of the rising sun?.

Thanks - I didn't think of e-mailing the webmaster. Duh. :-)
I remember the incident from last time at the Tabernacle, but I don't think that's the case this time around. The two venues are booked by the same promoters so...I don't know. I'd hate to show up at the Tabernacle and then have to haul ass up to the Roxy, though. :-)

Jazzy, thanks hon! I'm feeling better now, but it was a rough week.
Austin, no, actually I was sofa queen...
we todd did ;-)
Delfino, I think the spiders nesting in your nose are making you sick. Get well soon bud!
Mari, I get worn out just reading your posts. lol! Two words for ya girl ~ RED BULL!!! lol! Go Mari, Go mari, Go Mari *doing a head rocking, finger snappin', happy dance*
Slan, congrats on the mountain flat! Glad you're feeling better. Hope you and your wifey are rolling in good karma for a long time to come. As for the drum skins, they're lasting. lol! I haven't played them for a while cause of me poundin' head, but it's clearing up, so I should be good to go in a few days :)
Gee3, Alice = COOL! Let us know how the show is please.
Davey, goodbyes are always hard when you love a friend. Here's a cyber hug if it will help ya hon.
Another reason why I usually skip over UWSG. It's just to deep.
jelly man, are you eating paint chips again?
DBARNES, I feel for ya bro. 22 days with no power must suck hard. Hope all in your neck of the woods are safe and recouperating from all the mess from the storms. God Bless ya bro!
jblaze, I'm eventually going to have to have surgery on my beak to open things up. I suffer all year long, no matter what the season, but I do think the rainy weather makes it worse. I was starting to feel like my face was so swelled I was starting to look like SpongeBob Squareface, especially after laying down for 2 days. lol! The antibiotics are doing the trick, and hopefully I'll be good for a while.
Well, I've caught up from page 14 to 16. Now I should start back at page one. *groan*

Eva, as for the barking dog - we put up with our neighbors dog barking for about 8+ hours a day for months. It was a dog from the shelter with major abandonment issues. She would go to work, and the dog would bark from 6:30 a.m., until she got home anywhere between 3 & 5. It was horrible. We talked to her about it many times, but her answer was always "well what am I supposed to do?" like it was our job to solve her problem or just leave our house every time she left hers. How did we finally solve the problem...we moved.
Punkdude, HI!
Mari, my friend already warned us about the front rows at STOMP. We're pretty far back, but still have a good view...without eating dust. lol!
civgeek, "Thought about you yesterday when my 5 yr old walked through a spider web and this big chuncky spider hanging off the end of it's web as she spun around screaming bloody murder. Took me about 10 minutes to get her calmed down. Of course it didin't help that I was trying not to laugh" Now you know how my husband feels with me! lmao!! I can totally relate to your daughter. lol! Sad but true. lol!
OCP, thanks for the answer on Mount Dora. I'll call my uncle in MD. tomorrow and let him know, although I'm sure he's talked to a neighbor down there by now. It's good to get another confirmation to ease his mind. He bought the house, but hasn't even moved into it yet. It would be horrible if something happened to it.
Benny, I'm going to have to stick with the natural disasters. You can keep the crawly things. lol! ACK!!
Jazzy, heard Sad But True on the radio coming home from work. It's one of my favs. I really have to snag all my Metallica cd's back from my son. The little bugger has snatched them one by one, but the two he can keep are S&M & Some Kind Of Bullshit. lol!
GOOD LUCK MATT!!!
Stace, I miss talking to you. I've been so busy, and you with your new job where they actually make you work? The nerve! lol! Hope things are going better with the new job and pay. Hope the kitties are well and Sparky is employed and bringing home the bacon ;-)
Alex, hello baby!
Zinc Master, that's my kind of Inner Peace! lmao!
BAT-TER RY!!
Oh hell, it's almost 1:30 in the morning and I finally caught up on 16 pages. Night peeps!

My name is Elizabeth and my "good-friend," TIM WEBLEY, is a huge fan! You may remember signing his Steve Vai custom at the Tower Records here in Hoffman Estates... ...I even found him an autographed pic of you for him for christmas... ...I have bought tickets for us to see you OCT 22, at the House of Blues in Chicago...
Our relationship is a little undetermined at this time, and I was hoping if you could say a word or two about how "Once you find love, you shouldn't let it go " or something to that effect with his name -- it would show him how much I care and what I'm willing to go through for him -- which is needless to say, BEGGING you for a little help.
I'm sorry this message will be written everyday 'til the 22, since I'm not sure when or if you will even see this. Sorry for the annoyance.

The New York Dolls were even better tonight than they were last night. It was awesome. It's nice to see that absolutely no one has said anything about these concerts that I went to. ;-) Has anyone here even heard of the New York Dolls...? Hehehe...
Yesterday's opening band, The Chelsea Smiles, was awesome (as I said yesterday).
Today's opening band, River City Rebels, sucked beyond belief. They were full of energy, but they were so focused on jumping up and down and running around the stage that they didn't really focus on their playing. They sounded like a big pile of noise.
The crowd was sick of the band after the first few songs (they got old FAST), so most of us just stopped clapping between songs. The singer got pissed, so he started spitting into the crowd every now and then... At one point, the band's sax player called us the "lamest f-ckin' crowd" he'd ever seen. I could say the same thing about his band. Bleh.
crushingday62 - That bootleg is in FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format. Unlike MP3, it is a lossless format. Think of an FLAC file as a ZIP'd WAV file. You have to download it, decode it to WAV, and either burn it onto a CD or listen to it on your computer.
FLAC and similar formats, such as SHN, are FAR superior to MP3s. Because they are lossless formats, everyone gets the same quality copy of the music. This isn't true with MP3. If you have an MP3 of something and burn it to CD, and then I take that CD and make MP3s of it and make another CD to give to someone else, that person will have a lower quality version of the music (this is called "generation loss").
Go here for answers to all of your FLAC questions, including where to go to download an FLAC decoder.
hamdo - Welcome back. :-)
DBARNES - 22 days without power...? That's insane. Did the hurricanes do a lot of damage to your house? Did you lose anything big / valuable? I hope everything is (relatively) okay...

jelly man, sorry I didn't realise HL came out in 98. Yeah I know HL2's engines are great....I was just being purposefully OTT and saying that by the time it comes out it will be outdated.
Yes of course, HL2 will be good, but too much hype is a bad thing. From what I've seen it does look excellent, and I await with intrigue, but I think that release date will change quite a few times before we get to play it.
Delfino, as above.
Austin, edit: I shouldn't have spelled Whitcombe with an 'e' on the end! hehe. It's an excellent read, I thoroghly recommend it!
Those Lego men you linked to, I have all those. What's special about them.....I missed the previous posts on the matter?!
Stu Clone, having a decent writer is important, I agree. I dunno what you think, but I thought the storyline of Halo was impeccable. It was really original and carried off in a very involving way.

Battery, baby. My neck hurts like a bitch today. I was headbanging all the way from Madison listening to Master of puppets, garage days, kill em all, black album, and justice for all and ride the lightning. It was a metallidrive.
Michelle: Sad but True is the fate of St.Bullshit. You better get well before you go to those concerts! Red Bull always works. Drink copious amounts of Gatorade too. And think of the pleasent concerts that await your arrival. And please keep St.Anger away from the kids!
Simon: Smart man. Even after the Bush&Kerry debate I am surprised there a lot of people who havent changed their minds about their voting. I wasnt surprised that Kerry blew Bush off. and girls, look at Edwards. Would you rather have Dick "Where's my Viagra?" Cheney as your vice president or John Edwards?
