Anybody who is English and uses commas like that is an idiot. I seem to see it a lot more from people in continental Europe though.

I'm buying LED's today so that I can officially wire up my 4 FX loop switch. Le w00t!

FunkMetalBass 04-20-2011 05:16 PM

Goddamnit, Alain Caron never ceases to impress the hell out of me.

Jazz/fusion aren't your style o' music, eh?

Simpleton 04-21-2011 01:37 AM

guess not. i mean, the playing was impressive and precise, but damn......snoozefest

funkyhoney 04-21-2011 01:40 AM

Devolved into grammatical discussions, jeez, I thought I was finished with my BFA. Just for homework someone tell what an interobang is without looking it up. Or what comma splicing is. I dunno.

Anyway, behold, ASIAN FUNK!

Also, I got a tattoo, go me.

A gerund is a verb modifier, generally modifying some conjugation of the helping verb "to be", in the present participle ending in "-ing".

No idea what an interobang is. I guess, from the two root words, that it's one of those exclamatory questions that would end in "?!"

So no Pixies fans in here? Well, I'm also seeing Mogwai and Battles (two separate shows) next week. I'm pretty stoked about it.

From memory an interrobang is like a one symbol combination of an exclamation point and a question mark.

It took off about as well as Esperanto.

The decimal comma disgusts me.

Pixies fan right here. Mogwai and Battles are pretty dece too.

Dammit Zack you keep talking about these epic shows and I'll have to move to Toronto! or at least road trip there I guess seeing as I'm moving back to North Bay in May.

gaslight 04-21-2011 10:18 AM

Mogwai are massive live.

I got the latest Mogwai album the other day, it's more of the same but it's decent enough for driving or background music.

lemoley 04-21-2011 08:48 PM

bored as fuck

FunkMetalBass 04-21-2011 09:35 PM

I drilled my FX loop case today and did a test fit. It's going to be a bit tight, but it should work out just fine. I have enough parts to make a second 4-loop if I want, so if this one isn't too tedious to solder, I might just do it and sell it locally for profit.

You may shake my hand if you wish.

Check out the twin neck SG/bass thing Pat Smear has in this video. Cool.

Damn. I was so close.

Love working on Easter Saturday, double time and a half baby.

Thanks Jesus, you're a real sport.

Close but no cigar my friend.

funkyhoney 04-23-2011 08:41 AM

Nice deduction though.

FunkMetalBass 04-23-2011 02:49 PM

1. Player 1 chooses a number m larger than 1000
2. Player 2 chooses a number n larger than 1 and less than 1000.
3. If Player 1's number is divisible by Player 2's, Player 2 wins.
4. If Player 1's number is not divisible by Player 2's, re-define m=m-n and Player 2 chooses a new number.
5. Repeat from Step 2, noting that Player 2 cannot choose the same number twice.

Does player 2 have a winning strategy?

In attempting to figure it out, I discovered something terrifying.
The number of possible choices that Player 2 could make is so large that if you tested 10 possibilities every second, it would take 10^2554 years to check them all for the winning combination.

funkyhoney 04-23-2011 04:13 PM

That damn chartreuse. Deceived me with its herbal taste and inviting colour.

FunkMetalBass 04-23-2011 04:16 PM

I don't trust 95% of French alcohol.

funkyhoney 04-23-2011 04:20 PM

I only drank about a quarter of a 1L bottle over literally 6 or 7 hours and I was written off. Usually if I drink I have a bottle of wine to myself and am fairly comfortable.

Just hook it up to a supercomputer cluster made of Playstations.

I can't - they're in use searching for Mersienne primes.

X-box then.

[QUOTE=gaslight;18492167]X-box then.[/QUOTE]

You mean an underpowered computer with poor storage capacity and unnecessarily cumbersome and uneconomical input devices?

gaslight 04-24-2011 05:10 AM

Unless there's another kind of X-box out there that isn't a piece of shit, yeah.
