If only.....

If only products performed as well at home as they do on TV. For example, I was just trying to wrap some saran wrap (cling film) around a bowl to put in the fridge. I had more chance of getting a politician to tell the truth than I did of getting that saran wrap to stick properly. If you watch the current saran commercials here in Canada, you'll clearly see the actor covering a bowl as if it was the easiest thing in the world. There wasn't a single ripple on his saran wrap; in fact it was so damn taut you could bounce an elephant off of it. Now my attempt was so damn messy the wrap would fall off if I breathed on it. Sure, it could just be a "man thing"; half the time I can't event tear off a piece of saran wrap without it ending up in a scrunched up ball. I think there's a secret method that only women know and can master. It must be a "gene thing"....

I installed the beta of Safari for Windows out of pure curiousity. It's a weird feeling! I wish Apple would release OSX for Intel PCs; I'd blow XP away in an instant. Or at least relegate it to dual boot for games. So far Safari is decent - I'm not seeing the raw performance that some people claim. My main complaint is that CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't delete the previous word when typing this post. So far all sites I've visited looked good, though very reminiscent of Konqueror, which uses the same KHTML rendering engine. It failed to import my Firefox bookmarks, but I'll try that again. Let's see how it goes!
I just ordered one of these puppies: Guitar Rig 2 @ Tom Lee Music, Vancouver [homer]Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm[/homer] Unfortunately it's on back order so it'll take a few weeks. Hopefully not too many!

Reaper / FruityLoops and music. Metal!

I recently bought an M-Audio USB Fast Track device to connect my electric guitar to my computer. I also bought FruityLoops , or rather my brother bought it for me for Christmas and I upgraded it to the Producer edition. Since then I discovered an amazing shareware product called Reaper , which is another Digital Audio Workstation, or so they call themselves. It's extremely cheap, developed by (I think) the guy who wrote or worked on WinAmp and it's feature list is incredible. This is my first attempt at recording with Reaper: First Guitar Attempt Ignore my dreadful attempts at being a guitar virtuoso and forgive the fact I still live in the 80s!
