as it is exactly 13:22:17 GMT+1 according to ntp1.ptb.de, as i am writing this. And now for something completely different - me, Tomaz (or Thomas -> EN/DE, Tomaž -> SI) Kostrevc from outer sp..., erm, Slovenia ... Slovenia, not Slovakia ... Slovakia is that lovely country located above Austria and Slovenia is another lovely country located below Austria. In Europe. Central. And Austria is that lovely country, where you won't find any kangaroos, but you will find Mozart Kugeln (tasty!) however not anywhere within Kings Cross in Vienna - because there isn't any in there. Now, i believe that we've sorted out some of the things, so we can proceed. I do prefer when people call me Tom, it's much shorter and therefore easy to remember, especially for me, as a shortminded person. As opposite to my work, where they would always use the long version ... however still much shorter than Aleksander or Sebastian, right? Anyway did i say work? Right, i actually do work with computers & stuff in a multi-corp company (all of their hardware is covered with elegant black colour) in services dept. (igs) where i do some 'serious stuff' for 'big, important customers' - and that eventually becomes a little bit boring. Therefore, when i decide not to go to the local pub for a pint, or i don't read books (this year preferably south american literature) & comics (Corto Maltese, Modesty Blaise, Alan Ford etc.) or i don't participate in local cultural events or i don't play billiards (but not snooker!) or i don't watch Star Wars (again ..) or Monty Python's 'The dead parrot sketch' or do whatever, then i would play with my litlle sun sparcstation 5, running sunos 2.7, with 133MHz/32MB/2GB ... and Fore SBA-200 atm nic, connected back-to-back to ForeRunner LE-155 in a linux box (debian) with 400GB of mirrored storage. What can i say, just let kids to play themselves, right? And how did i come here? The truth is, that i'm little bored right now, because my wrist is broken and i'll stay at home until 15.7. and so i'm wandering aimlessly around the net, somewhat like Magellan ... anyway, have a pleasant day as i intend to have one! (Time enough I think for a piece of wood. "THE LARCH")

Wow welcome here ;-) nice one letter.

That was oen hell of a taxing read...I liked the part about 'important' stuff you did, was really enlightening

Thank you thebeast. I strongly believe this is a very nice place to hang around. And just a little something about my wrist, which i did break it! (see the pic -> http://scimitar.org.uk/_misc/IMGP2300.JPG) My advice to you all: don't dance on a slippy floor! It just might happen to you too

I don't dance, so I doubt that will happen to me

welcome aboard, slovenian stranger. Where exactly do you live in Slovenia?

Neither do I ...

Looks like you failed the dancing test ...

Let's see how you do on the funny walks test

(by the way, this =P icon really, really sucks IMO* ^^)

*Please note the difference between "IMO" and "EMO" ...
--> "IMO" is when you politely state your opinion ...
--> "EMO" is just when you cry all day 'cuz your life sucks ...

In a small town called 'Trebnje' approx. on 1/3 of the route from slovenian capital, ljubljana to croatian, zagreb (see the map: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi? ... 22&g.y=139 ) Are you planning a trip ? (fyi: airport isn't located south-east from ljubljana, as the map incorrectly shows it; it's rather in the north)

No shit! And where did you live?

Audio interface is M-Audio MobilePre. At the time i bought this, Audiophile wasn't available yet, but it serves its purpose more than well. Excellent DAC, preamp, low latency, ASIO support, USB powered (therefore much lower noise level), even XLR balanced inputs etc.

p.s.
reply could go to General or Technical forum so that we won't prolongate this topic too much, right?
