band-101 looks to be on it's way. Nice one.
Still needs a lot of work tho.
Maybe I could offer my services to whip up some page templates (?).

Flash is great fun Trea. If you need tech support or hints and tips just let me know.

And yeah. I saw that bloke in the Aussie forum who replied to my "I need a drummer" request.
Thanks. But I'm yet to talk to the guys about it.

No worries.
Thanks for that offer too. You sure do go out of your way :).
I've just been reading up on tutorials and stuff without even having the app. yet... it costs a bit - and I don't think there's a cheap student deal on it either :(. Knowing me, I'd probably just check out the trial version, love it, and when the 30 days is up, sit around and think:
"Now what? :upset:"

Trea, what's up? I've got a song to show you.

I wrote another essay in Beginner's Questions this morning - I think it was 1700 words or something... really gotta stop doing that - and I just got back from a 30 min run (*pant*)

Awesome, something you wrote?
Stupid being banned from msn still :/... um, you can email me - I can still use hotmail (which really defeats the purpose of banning msn imo, but hey)

Link me to the essay :-D.

Yeah, I just got back from gym with Marcus, 'twas good.

I'll just chuck it on YSI for you (incase other people want to see >_>):

What're you doing on teh weekend?

Wow, loving them so far. Nice and full of awesomeness as usual.

Not much... can't jam because half the band is in Phillip Island (surfing without me :(), and most of my mates are away at the moment so I'm just going to work on music like I've been doing almost non-stop all holidays so far. Heh.
How about you?

Oh yeah, [url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=423629[/url]
but I posted it in the guitar forum as well so you might have seen it already.

Did you see/like Apathy?
For everyone else (n Gav if he hasn't seen it), here's one of my latests:

Mellow mists swirling deeply
Across a world lost sense of time
In the darkness, a power lurking
Watching secrets, once resigned

Now I feel the tables turning
Once ensconced, you lose your mind
Triumph comes, victory burning
To this dank world I’m left behind

I don’t have to be your saviour
They won’t suffer upon will of mine
Glowering from your realm, learning
Resistance, happening in your time

To us you said no one would be there
A helping hand, forever gone
In yourself our faith entrusted
Bequeathed, we run from tyrant eyes

I don’t have to be your saviour
They won’t suffer upon will of mine
Glowering from your realm, learning
Resistance, happening in your time

Vehement, they scream, lament, revolsion,
Indifferent turns your blind eye.
Even now, your apathy outstanding,
Incoherent, bleak is tonight.

Still working on it... but yeah, what you think?

Awesome as usual, :).

Hmm, this weekend, let's see. I don't think I'm doing anything!

But I will tell you about last night:

My brother went to a party with one of his mates, and they were planning to come back at 4-ish and wake me so I could chill with them until the morning, so that was going to be good. Then I get out of the shower at roughly 1am to hear people walking down the side of my house.

I say "that can't be them" and go outside. I see six guys coming to my house, all of which were my brother's friends, so our night started a tad earlier than expected. We were chilling in our garage playing pool and fussball and whatnot, when our of my brother's friends got a message on his phone that there were a couple of ladies a tad worse for wear down at the local McDonalds. So off we go at about 2:30 in the morning (the seven of us) and walk about 1.5km down to Maccas where there are three girls. They were all drunk, but one of them was utterly sh[size=2]it[/size]faced. She couldn't even stand up. So four of my brothers friends escorted them back to their house and took care of them.

I said "I'm hungry" and my brother and one of his friends (who is a massive legend) agreed so we decided to walk down to the local "Quix" (service station). It was about 3km away (by now it was roughly 3am). So picture this - three guys walking down the middle of Canterbury Rd. One wearing normal clothes, one wearing a bandana and a chain around his neck, and another wearing a bandana, a singlet, boxer shorts and moccasins (me)!

On our way, we saw a group of guys which made us kind of nervous, but when we got closer we saw it was two guys that like my brother. My brother doesn't like these guys, though, ('cause they stole his beer!). They said "hey, how long would it take to walk to Belgrave?" my brother - whilst aware of how long it would actually take - told them it would be roughly five hours, in the hopes that they would decide to walk it instead of getting a taxi. We also saw another guy and said "hey" to him. He gave us the finger (that takes balls).

We got our hot dogs and drinks from Quix, and when the reality of how far away we were (about 4km :p) hit us, we decided to call a taxi back home. When we got home, two of my brother's friends decided to swim in our pool. Idiots. Then we finally went to bed at about 5 in the morning.

Woo.

I went through all the pages and changed all the links to point to the right forum but then all the band101 ones have disobeyed me :(

I'm trying to learn c++ at the moment, but I've come up against the problem that even if I copy and paste the correct code from a tutorial site into my compiler I have to change #include <iostream> to #include <iostream.h> and any tutorial codes that include the line using namespace std; don't work until I remove it. Plus other things. Is it likely to be my compiler being awkward of just my pc? (The compiler is Plato3 and it crashes a hell of a lot)

Has anyone else left their christmas shopping yet? I haven't bought anyone anything yet, I'm too comfy here to take the 10 minute bus ride into town plus I've got like 9 days so there's no rush :)
Anyone getting anything cool for christmas that they know about?

You have to protect me from google :( I'm sh[COLOR="Black"]it[/COLOR]ting myself about getting banned from the adsense program! I haven't done anything wrong, but the sites got a low unique visitory count. And in the last two days my adsense clicks have made me $38.88 with some pretty high CTR above what alot of regular sites get. :( Money = Good, being banned from adsense for doing nothing wrong = bad :(

Nothing really. How'd you go setting up that weight bench thing? (I think that was you...)

And nah, I buy my presents after Christmas, because that's the only time I have money, :upset:.

I still haven't set up the butterfly arms on it :p but the rest of it works. I've just been doing workouts every 4 days. Mostly working on the chest, shoulder and triceps.
After christmas I'm going to get rid of my rowing machine* replace it with my favourite cardio gear (an exercise bike) and set up a double end ball or punching bag in the cellar to work on my boxing.


*The last time I used it my wrist started spazzing out :(

Very nice. What exercises do you do for your chest, shoulder and triceps?

Do you do toning or building exercises?

And yeah, exercise bikes rule! Good idea getting a punching bag, they are amazing for cardio. You should look into possibly getting a skipping rope too? They're cheap and occupy very little space!

For chest I'm doing incline bench press. Butterfly curls and close grip bench press.
Shoulders I'm just doing shoulder press.
And triceps I'm doing reverse curl and this other thing with the dumbells that I can't remember the name of.

I'm looking to get the punching bag for cross training so I can compete MMA.

"another wearing a bandana, a singlet, boxer shorts and moccasins (me)!"
Omg hawt ;).

Well I've changed my plans for the weekend. I'm going to meet my ... 2nd/3rd/something (who cares) cousin who's over here from Perth. And break my neck looking up at him even though I'm relatively tall. I thought his dad was tall (6"2), but then I saw a family shot and they were both taller - he's 6'6.

Last night I went to a christmas party for the gym my mate owns. It was great.
This one guy kept staring at me though. Then he whispered to his friend and he started looking in my direction too. Later on most of the guys at that table kept watching me as I went past. Me = hmm.
Then some drunk guy from a 21st tried to climb out over the metal fence (which had spikes on the top to prevent people from doing so). He spiked his jeans on the way over so he kinda just hung there for a while... until someone had stopped laughing enough to go and help him.
Heh, anyway, found out the venue (in Croydon if you're slightly interested, Gav) is free to hire out and stuff - they just make all their money off drinks.
Oh the possibilities.

And Airborne, there's been a big blow up by the MPA about the copyright infringement that tabs and lyrics has. They were wanting owners of big distributers (I guess like powertab, a-z lyrics, mx, ultimate guitar, etc.) to be sent to jail. So loads of sites are disabling tab downloads/taking everything down until it's all sorted out. If you want the article on this, let me know.

*sigh* I did warn Jeremy that tabs of signed artists were mostly illegal but he didn't listen.
Plus his defiance is helped by half of MX who don't understand why tabs are illegal.
(Not that I neccessarily agree with them being illegal)

Haha yeah, you should see the thread they had in the guitar forum. Pretty funny in a way, but also quite sad. I tried explaining it a bit and that post just got ignored (or people brought up supposed loopholes - like writing out a tab in the wrong tuning :rolleyes: ).

I don't like the fact that they are, but it is a reproduction of someone else's work in any sense so it's fair enough.

Aye, most people are saying things like that with the loop holes. Or just making it sound like it.
At which point the tabs would have to be removed of the artists name, the song and any other references to the song it was modelled on. Thus making it useless because any method or code you tried to use to indenify it to the song would result in the publisher being able to take you to court.
The publishers problem with it, is that tabs lose them money. If there weren't as many Metallica and Blink tabs on the internet then there would be an increased in tab books for those and other artists.

Yeah, true. A lot of people are trying to make it sound like it's no big deal - as if nothing's going to happen. They're coming out with "Oh, it's so wide-spread that it's impossible to stop. Someone start a site where we can upload"
Funny how nobody's starting one themselves.

Like I said yesterday, just because music downloads are so frequent doesn't mean they aren't getting people into trouble over it.

Good stuff, man.

I just found out this morning that I've been selected as a sport leader for my house next year, :p.

Oh yeah, your formal... how'd that go?
I know it was ages ago but I haven't talked to you since then :(.

Woo, congrats.

'Twas a great night.

No after party though, :(.

We rocked up in my Jaguar looking as sharp as tacks:

And yeah, 'twas great fun.

EDIT: Yes I realise that my tie is uneven, :upset:.

Awesome stuff :)

Bad music at mine... I tried to dance but it just wasn't there. Stupid "dance" music.
I was like "I need Latin. Something... Santana... Anything. Now."

Haha, our music was pretty bad too.

I have a video of a dance-off we had. Perhaps I should upload it?

Hehe, yerplzkthx
Are you dancing though?

No :(

Aww dood.

But you were dancing at some stage yeah?

Yeah of course.

I was ensconced by teh ladies :shifty:.

Good stuff :p.
I think I shocked the teachers... don't think they expected quiet Trea to bust it out on the dance floor :lol:.

Hey, I might record you this Reformation Symphony I'm learning sometime (with my lousy laptop mic :rolleyes: ). Maybe I can change your opinion on trombone... hah.

/just gets invited to another party...
Have a nice night Gav.

Heh, look forward to hearing it.

Enjoy your party.

Looking very swarve there Gav.

I just back from a weekend down coast. It was beautiful.
No surf when the tide was up tho, so it was pretty much just a swimming pool.
But in ther arvos when it droped back there was enough of a swell to go for a short ride on.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. :)

I'm getting money for christmas, part of which is going toward a new ESI QuataFire interface: 4 simultaneous inputs.. kick ***!

You bet! My cuz is awesome.
Sounds good Chris... wish I'd been down the coast.

Sweet as, Airborne :D

Gotta post these sketches for breathing exercises... man, I hadn't drawn in ages :(.

There's a drawing I started of a friend of mine.

I can't do the face because I tried it and rubbed it out so many times that the paper has worn away and can't be drawn on.

Gah.. I just noticed.
I'm sunburnt.
