Okay, who wants to ftp me the disc contents! =] PM me!

AOL.

AOL? Sorry, that is one I don't know, unless you really mean AOL - the provider of coasters for the last decade...

AOL == "me too".

Ah. Sorry. Never heard that one before. Thanks!

Yeah I hadn't heard it either, Fabris used it once and I asked the same question. Makes perfect sense when you think about it, though.

I heard it through Usenet. You'd get loads of posts with just "Me too!" tacked onto the end. That's where I heard it from anyway.

Steve and I were thinking for next year, for the best sounding stereo competition, wouldn't it be a cool idea if we came up with some test mp3s to play? It'd be a bit like the IASCA people and their test CDs.

Before the meet someone posts the mp3s which we can then download and put on the players (then destroy them after we've finished ), everyone could theoretically start from the same point (barring EQ settings, but then that's an art worthy of a prize in itself). That way you could do some subjective testing across the systems.

While we're speaking of suggestions for next year, might I suggest choosing a weekend that doesn't coincide with America's Independence Day (July 4th)? I know some fellow Americans see that as a good thing since it can create a nice extended weekend. But I have a yearly family gathering on the weekend closest to July 4th that I cannot miss for anything other than my own wedding or funeral. This was my reason for not attending this year. I know I'm only one vote and no one weekend can make everyone happy, but I sure would like to attend one of these at some point.

You could get married at the meet next year . . .

Just consider it a matter of priorities..

Speaking of which, You cost me two points in the trivia contest! Well, actually, my own problem I suppose -- I just keep confusing you and genixia in my head from time to time.. dunno whz (blasted german kezboard is driving me crayz!)

Cheers.. err, uhm.. prost!

What, pray tell, was the question?

More to the point, it'd be nice if the meet was earlier to avoid the astronomical airfares. Or I guess that September would probably work to have the same effect too.

Sure, do I have to bring my own wife, or will one be provided upon my arrival?

More to the point,

More to your point...

But of course!

>What, pray tell, was the question?

Aw, nuthin too important, I suppose -- they were nice enough to give me the prize even though I did get that one just slightly wrong.. apparently everbody else was also suffering from ribs dinner hangovers on Saturday

Aw, nuthin too important, I suppose

You're not getting out that easy! What was it?

name the 5 BBS-users with the most posts in order of post-counts....

Wow, I didn't think I was still on the top 5. I haven't been nearly as prolific as I used to be!

Wait a second, are those numbers right? I thought Mark passed me a long time ago and wasn't looking back...

yeah, your ranking is actually No. 4

cheers, Thomas

That's both flattering and embarrasing. I'm glad I could be there, if in name only.

Yeah, and I'm not sure it's fair to include rob among us since he's a paid professional.

that depends on how fussy you are

<-- just noticed he's an old hand. cool

I'm going to try to be in Portugal sometime next summer. Just make sure it falls within thoe three weeks. Or at least start coming up with dates before I do - which is rather probable. Sounds like it was a lot of fun nd I would have loved to be there. But then I'd be a few K short on the closing costs for the new house and I'd have to live on the street when I returned.

Now how am I going to get my car over to Europe so I can drive it to the meet...

get your doors sealed by welding and swim over...?

Okay, who wants to ftp me the disc contents! =] PM me

no... seriously....

Don't know how the empeg boys will feel about us handing out copies as they say on the disc to not put it online. Also we where told that if no one come back with any major bugs it might get put out offically.

I am finding it a bit buggy with it crashing a few times it is has a few probs with skipping tracks and it seems to be running low on memory at times as things get a bit jerky but i have only got it on my Mk2 not tryed it on the Mk2a yet.

The main new bits on the player are the crossfade which is very good, also we have pitchbend which is very silly you want barry white to sound like the smurfs you got it, also new is intro scan which is well an intro scan useful to some but i never used when i had it on cd players. Stereo seperation is no selectable from the player instead of just within emplode, we now have auto gain control offically instead of through Hijack. There is one new visual but i was always running with beta 13 so i don't know if we gained a new visual in 2.0 final (just moved house only found null modem cable the other day.

Unless you are really really desperate for cross fade and have tons of ogg files to load up i would say stick with 2.0 final.

So have some patience

okay who also want the recipe to the lemon pie

[pollname=Do you want to lemon pie recipe posted]
No thanks i am tubby enough
Yes please it was great
I missed it but post it so i can relive the empeg meet favorite

I did post, very early on (January this year) a poll to get people to vote on the weekend they wanted. The greater majority went for this weekend.

So why didn't you organise your own wedding here, then? I would have been happy to work it into the schedule

The reason for the 4th really rather than a later event was that everyone in Europe takes of on holiday: before that, there's a lot of people finishing off study. Any later in the year the weather may not be as good: perhaps next year I'll pitch it on the w/e after Independence Day.

Trouble with that is, we won't be able to toast the defeat of George the 3rd at the hands of the Colonists!
