Studio Electronics – Orion Galaxy Omega 8 Synth
Wow, how cool does this hardware synth look?!?!
Inspired by Stanley Kubrik, 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of my all time favourite films.

I saw it on this very cool music production blog/site that I just stumbled across: http://musicthing.blogspot.com/

I wanna be on holiday again :( *sad*
Wow, this coming w/end, a year ago, Joanne and I were heading off on our 6 week European holiday…

Has a year gone by already? That’s gone by way too fast!
Hrmm, I’ve found that the ‘this time last year I was…’ thinking hurts much more than the ‘holiday is over, back at work’ depression, that hits you not long after the excitement of being home, sleeping in your own bed, and catching up with all your missed friends, has faded. I should add eating Vegemite to that too, I really missed it, craved it, when I was away. Won’t be leaving without it next time… Such an Aussie huh!
Yum, Patatas Bravas!
We’ll have to drink some Sangria, and eat some tapas this w/end to remember the good times in Barcelona a year ago. It was crazy and hectic at the time, but I really miss the place now.
We’re off to Catalonia on Saturday night. Yum!
Certainly won’t be as hot outside though. It was fun to be able to skip Sydney’s winter last year. No avoiding it this year.

New PC
I’ve been talking about getting a new PC for years. Looks like it’s coming together…
Months of reading and researching, waiting for new technologies to arrive and settle, and recent shopping around. Here’s what ‘Black Beauty’ will be put together with…
[CPU] : Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz G0 stepping (Overclocked to 3.6GHz)
[Motherboard] : Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6
[RAM] : 2GB / 2 x Corsair XMS DDR2 1024MB PC2-6400C4 800MHz (CAS 4-4-4-12)
[GPU] : Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 8800GTX
[HDD] : 2 x Western Digital 320GB (WD3200AAKS Caviar SE 7200rpm 16MB Cache Sata II)
[FDD] : 1 x ? Black Floppy Disc Drive
[PSU] : 620W – Corsair HX620
[CPU Cooling] : Zalman CNPS9700LED CPU cooler (w/ Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste)
[Case/Enclosure] : SilverStone TJ09 black case w/ side window
[Audio] : Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer PCI
[DVD/CD] : Asus DRW-1814BL black
[OS] : Windows XP Pro
[LCD Monitor] : Samsung SyncMaster 226BW 22″ Wide Screen black TFT LCD
[Keyboard] : Logitech black PS2/USB
[Mouse] : Microsoft USB/PS2 Wheel Mouse Optical black
I’ll stick with Windows XP for a while until Vista matures. I think it’s too soon to move to DDR3. I decided against the nVidia 680i chip-set and SLI graphics possibility.
After 8+ years of this Pentium III 450MHz I’m well over-due for a new PC! My own PC!
Let’s build!
