Hmm the subject feels like something from an AA-meeting
Anyhow I'm into all sorts of diy, not only audio. But mostly audio. And then mostly loudspeakers. But I shouldn't call all I do diy because I have a small sparetime company with a friend and some stuff are made more proffesionally.
Besides my hobbies I don't work. I'm retired because of healthproblems.
What more? Yes I'm webmaster at AudioTechnical Society in Sweden (LTS). We are around 800 members.
That's all. I'll hope I can lear someting here and perhaps share some of my experiences.

A positively prophetic statement if ever there was one. I think it is actually Audiophiles Anonymus. Welcome, even though the Swedes seem to be taking over. Is PerAnders running a membership drive over there? You will feel at home here as PerAnders is giving us Svensk lessons. I hope there no confusion between you and Peranders. Since he was here first we can call you two pre-Anders and post-Anders I suppose..........
Fred (post-Harry),
P.S. You will love it here, even if not everyone is quite as friendly as I am.

please no. Linkwitz is already using it, and i use it as a verb/adverb/noun for tube amps from old consoles, organs & stuff that are resurrected into new amps.
BTW. Welcome Anders... the strength of this forum is its people (even Fred, it is nice to have his colour back, even when he is still occasionally off key [long story])

I'm sem-retired.
At dinner with friends one night a year or two ago, I described how in a couple of years I would semi-retire and work a little now and then, describing what my work life would be like, etc.
My wife waited till I finished speaking and asked "do you mind telling us how that is any different from your current schedule?"
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
So I went into semi-retirement that night.
Glad to have you with us.

After Burner

one part each rye and tequila

Happy trails

I am afraid I lost my Equilibrium on this one and am laughing my butt off on the floor over this one. The only bar tending, Robert Anton Wilson reading, audio geek I can think of; was living near the east coast last I heard. Maybe he will Email me.
And I had even missed this one.... I looked at this and even I thought was me! Am I a victim of a conspiracy by the Illuminatus?

It's Oct. 31th, IIRC, don't remember anything else about it......

PS: dice, have a look at my last post in the "electronic music" thread
Halloween is a clever marketing scheme invented in order to have another major spending period for the consumer market. Without any good reason we are to buy loads of strange costumes and plastic gear for our kids (?). It was most likely conceived in one of the Secret Pumpkin Growers' fellowship meetings when they were desperate to get rid of a very good crop that happened quite a few years ago. For some reason nowadays we accept the pumpkin as food (hint: look at my avatar for my view on food).
Or it could be something else, quote from http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htm:
"The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.
One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.
Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

a pun on bob for apples
http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml
"pre-anders "
a pun on Preanders
"post-anders"
a pun because he came here after Peranders was already here.
OBTW Peranders has been remarkably good natured about my persecution of him and is a gentleman that I rarely had any right to abuse. He has shown me kindness and forgiveness and is a much better person than most of us here when it comes right down to it.
'barbed wire on you teeth"
Ouch that would be very painful for me wouldn't it?
By the way we pronouce it "bob war" in Texas and nobody has any difficulty understanding what we mean.
"How many times have you read the Illuminatus?"
Never! My friend Chris Sommovigo,from my Audient Technologies high end digital interface days, told me about naming his company Illuminati after this book. There I go name dropping again.
"don't talk Fred into using other names"
JULIET
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
ROMEO
I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
"Harry"
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word,

Re: Re: "You knew it was a joke, didn't you?"
The main 3 books at least 4 times, the entire 7 book extended set a couple times. I have also had the wonderful pleasure of overnighting (two different times actually) at a friends along with Robert Anton Wilson. He is a wonderfully rich and humerous character.
This volume(s) are essential reading for anyone who would like to understand the law of 5s, or understand what a Fnord is -- a bible for surviving in modern times.

P.S. Don't forget to Check out Romeo and Julliet again if you are in need of good cry. I had a even meaner than I am friend laugh out loud during the movie and come as close to starting an actual riot as I have ever witnessed in real life. I was afraid for my life. I kid you not.
