Well my friends, its monday again.

I spent most of the weekend formatting and rebuilding my pc so like many of you I am very tired this morning from trying to cram as much time on some beats as I dare last night!

I'm now on fl 9.6 and all I want to do is get some stuff finished while I still have the drive!

4.5 hours till freedom!

Good work man :)


I spent Friday shopping w/ the missus, then Saturday had a solid FL day, was lushness. Knocked out some random disco house thing (not sure how) and started a techy loop with some weird percussion. Didn't go anywhere as a tune but the perc line was good enough to be bounced out for future use.

Then on Sunday I baked a pecan pie 8)

Morning Guys :t:

I hate conference calls, In my old job I use to have them quite often, But I am quite a shy person especially on the phone so I just sat there and listened and occasionaly fell asleep.

So what jobs do you guys do and what sector do you work in?

I am in Finance, I hate it but it's good money. And I it's only a stop gap till I can hopefully make something in music. But as we all know, that ain't assured or easy.

basic tech support for the shittiest fucking internet in America (centurylink). Actually work for a contracted tech support company who just pretends to be multiple ISPs tech support, but since I just started here I'm only taking one ISP. Not looking forward to picking up more, but am looking forward to making more money.

The road I work in is called Betjeman Place. No one else in the office finds this amusing.

This is a such a brilliant thread - I'm a software engineer working not far from Glasgow. Currently trying figure out how to get our software to display some bar charts with the colour scheme that the clients want, as well as tracking down some ridiculously obscure bugs. My awesome Denon in-ear headphones have gone missing so I've got Bassnectar and Mensah mixes going un-listened to, as well all the other gigs of stuff I've got, nightmare. The Pure Phase video that was put up on sunday has inspired me so I'm waiting til 5 o'clock so I can go home and try and learn some new glitchy controllerism techniques 8)

The world will be ending soon anyway. N Korea and S Korea will start scrapping, China and the US will get involved and then it'll become Fallout 3 before you know it.

As far fetched as this seems, I can actually see this happening.
Fallout 3 is awesome as well. I am starting to like the idea of this. :4:

Project Engineer/Design Engineer in the Catalytic Converter Industry.

And we have the added bonus of having a massive Mercedes Benz Audit on the entire plant.
I still find some spare time every now and then to work on a beat or 2 on Reaper.

Just over £90. I'm working on putting together a survival bag; gas mask, emergency meds, batteries, walkie talkies etc etc. The apocalypse is coming.

Don't forget Guns that fire shot and that. Weapons are ESSTENTIAL for fending off the mutated.

I will be arming myself with one of these fuckers -

Practically, firearms are difficult to get hold. Machetes are more practical, but in the event that some sort of disease is a factor in post apocalyptic south London, you'd need to be wary of splatter patterns.

Just locate any Mafia/Gangster hideout and I am sure you will come across a nice stash of weaponry.

Also I am noob when it comes to some apocalyptic terms, what are Splatter Patterns?

Again, not really sure of too many round these parts.

Where the blood goes depending on the entry/exit wound. You shoot something, it would spray out. You stab/cut something, it would spray out.

A blunt object, like a cricket bat, would probably be better suited.
