sounds a lot like my current situation.[/quote]


Pursue this potential new relationship.

I think it would be good for you.


Get to know eachother as friends first, and best of luck.



That what I really love about my fiance, she is not only that but also my best friend

thanks for all of the advice. I'm going to give it time and let her know over time. My ex and i were friends for a few months before i finally mustered up the courage to ask her out.

All the best.



I must do some work now, so I will possibly catch you later.



Cheers

:wave:

Hmm love hae? I only have a happy experience now..

[QUOTE=ebe9;13450268]That would be a bit excessive. I would say give yourself at least 4 - 6 months single time. Get to know you as you not as you the guy in the long term relationship.


The hilarious thing for me was that I met my fiance at varsity not 20 min after the ex broke up with me.

I liked her from the get go and wanted to pursue it, but took my sweet bloody time in doing so, 5 months before our first kiss ([B]did not know if she was interested, she was but I needed to be beaten over the head with a brick to see it[/B]) to the point where she told me later, she was wondering if I was ever going to make a move or if I just honestly wanted to only be friends.[/QUOTE]

oh so faimiliar to me

[QUOTE=ebe9;13450284]All the best.

it's currently 3 in the morning for me, approaching four oclock actually, so i'll catch ya later.

To Wintermute:

Hey Alex, if you are still hanging around the forums, Downloaded AVG and Spybot this morning and Nortons hours are numbered.

The AVG looks pretty good. Thanks for the advice.

No problem. :thumb:

Glad to help purge another computer of the terrors of Norton.

One of the guys made a rather funny comment about Norton being worse than having a virus on your computer.

At least with the virus you can tell something is wrong and fix it, with Norton you whole machine just becomes the fat slow kid who ate all the pies. :p

For the occasional hardcore scan, I'd download ClamWin antivirus. It's free, but a real top-end piece of software. It's not for day to day use... for my laptop to scan just the internal 40gb hardrive takes about six hours. It interrogates EVERY file thoroughly. Worth having, if you suspect something's wrong but can't figure out what. :)

I will keep that in mind.


What I am really wanting to do, is as mentioned, set up a wireless network and piggy back on the internet connection of the hardcore machine I setup recently.

That way, it has more than enough processing power to handle Nortons resource sapping abilities and I use it as my firewall, the AVG can then just act as a protection means for media directly comming into contact with my machine.

[QUOTE=Radiobass81;13446778]Hey.

How would I go to making songs for a heavier band (my band)? Is it really as simple as just random riffs and chords? I mean, I've been trying that so far, and it's been working well...[/QUOTE]

Use powerchords for guitar, and use roots and octaves for the bass. Keep the drummer on the cymbals. Scream

Ex for BASS: If your playing an E you could:

G
D
A
E -0-12-0-12-0-12

ect ect

Keep it simple. Use lots of distortion. Turn Your Pre-gain knobs all the way before adjusting you volume knobs. USE THE PENTATONIC SCALE!!!

[quote]Ex for BASS: If your playing an E you could:

D

E -0-12-0-12-0-12[/quote]

You can probably afford to go a little more complex than that...

For guitar, the two most important things are always going to be staying in time, and good tone. A good drumbeat helps, don't be afraid to use the kick. Good for heavier rhythms.

The trick with heavier bass is picking your moment. Root notes do support heavy guitar rhythms very well, that can't be denied. But if the guitar ever simplifies a little, gives you the sonic space to be heard, break out some fills. The Phrygian mode, or even just the relative minor are good.

I second that. For a while I played with a guitarist who was a great player, but his tone was garbage. It was all lows and mids, so I couldn't cut at all. It was just this white-noise distortion. Completely awful.

"Dynamic", "Pro-active", "Wide-ranging", "High-profile".

Key-words of death.

Yes Your point is undeniable, but that has been working for me for a while.
I wasn't trying to write a college essay on the subject :P

I like "It focuses attention on issues that are of topical importance to its members." This seperates their organizations for all those companiesthat advertise themselves as not focusing on issues important to their members.

New John Zorn album... :eek:

It's only 3 tracks, but each is over 12 minutes. It's basically written like a play, each track is a different act with different scenes. The album is called Astronome and features Mike Patton on vocals, Trevor Dunn on bass, and Joey Baron on drums. This is the same line up used on a previous Zorn album from... earlier this year, actually.

1. Act One (14:34)
Scene 1 - A Secluded Clearing in the Woods
Scene 2 - A Single Bed in a Small Room
Scene 3 - The Innermost Chapel of a Secret Temple

2. Act Two (17:02)
Scene 1 - A Mediaeval Laboratory
Scene 2 - In the Magick Circle

3. Act Three (12:44)
Scene 1 - A Barren Plain at Midnight
Scene 2 - An Unnamed Location
