With death comes debt

My pooor sony vio finally died. Tho it was like 6 years old. I find myself want to play around with DJ progs. Also when the winter months come around Id like to play some sort MMORPG. I was thinking of putting myself in debt for mac book....good idea orr bad idea?

KeithT writes at 06:52:19 08/18/11 - Comment #64440: This is all very good advice. I started by asking my DJ friends what programs they use. Im awaiting an asnwer. Ive been looking at these fancy machines, but I wonder how much money goes into making them look fancy :::link:::

enknot writes at 08:29:14 08/18/11 - Comment #64433: you guys are all such great compunerds. I'm going to agree with the crowd. Even though I'm rockin' a fruit box I wouldn't buy one if any of my computing needs were casual DJing or gaming in any reguards. Get a PC. And a maybe a desktop. You can always dual boot to linux when you're tired of windows problems. And the new windows is kinda tits out. I might have to do some of the same. Next time you hang out we'll do some spec scanning and PC shoppin' I haven't bought a machine in like 10 years so it'll be fun

tinypliny writes at 03:05:37 08/18/11 - Comment #64426: Also, I don't have a particularly good opinion of software defined as "cool". Oftentimes cool =/= powerful (and sometimes cool =/= spiffy but dumbed down).

tinypliny writes at 03:02:47 08/18/11 - Comment #64425: heh, the first bit of what (e:paul) says is actually excellent advice. Regardless of whether you are a snob or not, it makes sense to check if the software you want to use exists and functions well in the operating system you want to install on your computing platform (whatever that might be).

However, I would like to bet that most of the artsy types that (e:Paul) mentions are pretty desperate to get accepted by the community of other artsy types so they probably don't want to be seen with a plain windoze box. The argument that all of them have it, so maybe you should get it too is not a very good one. It isn't the same as doing a careful evaluation of your objectives in getting this computing unit.

paul writes at 09:57:10 08/17/11 - Comment #64424: New Deals: you can get a 12 core 2.6ghz, 1TB hardrive, 6gb ram Mac , with a 1gb ati graphics card for only $4,999 lol :::link:::

terry writes at 09:21:13 08/17/11 - Comment #64423: not awesome, but totally playable

paul writes at 09:16:56 08/17/11 - Comment #64422: Tiny is going to hate me for thks but unlike the software (e:tinypliny) and I use to do our work, not everything is cross platform.

There is no denying that every DJ from biggest headliner to tiny tent DJ at WEMF seemed to have a Mac. Same with everyone at art/media design school when I was there. I think in this case some of the coolest software might be Mac specific and I am guessing it will be even more so in the future. I guess first step would be to determine which software you want, what hardware you need for it and what platforms it runs on.

If you end up needing a Mac you could save a lot with a mac mini. They are way tiny, portable and super low energy. On the other hand they wouldn't be awesome for high end gaming, just ask terry.

tinypliny writes at 01:20:02 08/17/11 - Comment #64415: I meant you will get the maximum graphics as well as processing power for the same amount of money in a desktop configuration. I seem to have swallowed a ton of words there.

You need the graphics for games and the processing for the sound/media applications. Get as many cores as you can and make sure your software is able to process parallel on all those cores.

I wouldn't go with SSD drives even though (e:Paul) seems to love them just because they are unduly expensive for not much space. If you are dealing with uncompressed sound formats you will need a ton of hard disk space.

heidi writes at 01:19:31 08/17/11 - Comment #64414: Yep, I agree with that too. You'd be able to pick up a tower with as-good or better specs for $400-$450.

tinypliny writes at 01:17:10 08/17/11 - Comment #64413: If you don't need mobility, I'd say you will the maximum for your money with desktops. Mobility has its price.

heidi writes at 01:06:51 08/17/11 - Comment #64412: Yep, don't get a mac. A netbook wouldn't have the power to run heavy duty game like World of Warcraft. You'll need to make sure you have a fat graphics card. If you don't travel with it, a 17" might work best. I can't tell if this refurb Asus has sufficient graphics power but it's worth looking at for $599 :::link:::

terry writes at 10:46:00 08/17/11 - Comment #64410: pretty much agree with Tiny. For value, especially if you're looking to play a video game, don't get a mac.

tinypliny writes at 10:18:32 08/17/11 - Comment #64409: or throw whatever you have right now at the highest graphics and processing power you can get. You will always end up with more than what you can get with a mac brand. I say, consult (e:Paul)

tinypliny writes at 10:17:04 08/17/11 - Comment #64408: V.Bad idea. Debt always is. Just get a cheapo netbook. All windows can easily render graphics at a reasonable price. There is no point going to a mac unless you are a snob.

Deep Fried Turkey

We deep fried a ten pound turkey for lunch today at work. It was injected with spices and had a spice rub on it. Delicious!

Uhhh Im kind of missing something.....

Ever since the age of 16-17 I've been 6'6" and 165lbs. Today I randomly decided to weigh myself with a digital bathroom scale after dinner. What the fuck happend?!!!

metalpeter writes at 06:17:22 10/06/10 - Comment #58788: Hard to know. It could be from working out more then or now. Could you have weighed in at a different time or time of year. Are you more active now?

KeithT writes at 11:15:41 10/06/10 - Comment #58780: Also @P- Ya Im pretty sure the scale is right.

KeithT writes at 09:39:16 10/06/10 - Comment #58777: @P -Protein milk shakes sound like a great idea for breakfast. I think Im gonna get some.

@A - I havent been on my bike in awhile because I keep popping my tires and its kinda getting cold.

brit writes at 11:45:18 10/05/10 - Comment #58776: it's all that bloody cycling innit?

paul writes at 10:12:34 10/05/10 - Comment #58772: Maybe you don't eat enough. For me the only thing that's makes me gain weight is the gym and milk shakes. Are you sure the scale is right?

KeithT writes at 08:40:55 10/05/10 - Comment #58771: None of those except a receding hairline. I'm rather sure that that is genetic though lmao! My super facial hair?

tinypliny writes at 08:35:21 10/05/10 - Comment #58770: I know! In a country where 1/5th of the population is morbidly obese (BMI > 30)...

tinypliny writes at 08:34:13 10/05/10 - Comment #58769: Do you have dry or shiny patches on your skin, sores that are healing slower than usual, is your superficial-hair falling out (all sound like desperate questions but they need to be asked since you have publicised your latest BMI)!!

KeithT writes at 08:28:49 10/05/10 - Comment #58767: Wow, under weight? O.o I feel okay and everything seems normal. What do you mean by skin changes?

tinypliny writes at 08:23:39 10/05/10 - Comment #58765: 6'6". ZOMG. That's like a WHOLE 50.3 cm waaay over the sky.

tinypliny writes at 08:20:19 10/05/10 - Comment #58764: You were leaning on a wall?

You went from an already low BMI of 19.1 to a clinically underweight BMI of 17.8.

How is your appetite? Any skin changes? Do you feel okay?

Ultimate fly trap *NOT FOR A WEAK STOMACH*

I came into the shop tosay and there were a million flys alllll over the place because some asshole didn't cover the garbage. I was lucky enough not to actually drink any of this after it turned into a fly trap. I counted 14 :x

The Blue Fuji!

I took a couple of pics of my fancy new fixie. These are two of my favorite places to ride to, Tift st and Route 5, and Hoyt Lake-pond at Delaware Park. That color blue just pops with the sky and looks amazing.
