$7,000 in 1974 would have been equal to $34,609.18 in 2016.     I've noticed this. Bike technology has always had a trickle-down effect, the lower end bikes are only getting better while the high-end bikes remain largely esoteric with a consumer base that doesn't really change. The odd...

Check the HydrogenAudio Forums & Wiki for foobar customization, this isn't really a help thread.

  Is it not just a square acrylic box?

Here is the latest incarnation of my theme. Removed more clutter, unnecessary visual buttons (I use hotkeys for everything) etc. Spent a considerable amount of time migrating everything from pre-1.x to the latest version of Foobar so i'm running that now. Added SACD component for .DSF / .DFF...

  I buy zipties in packs of 1000 for about 5 bucks, it's easy to clip it with a small pair of sidecuts if it doesn't look right. They hold tight, and they're 4mm which makes them barely noticeable.

Zipties tend to look better (imo) and with some adhesive mounting pads you can do a lot.  

   

  Sounds like a nice setup. I do a lot of work from home and can't afford to lose any data just because of a small brownout, and a good UPS shouldn't introduce any noise into your computer system. What make/model did you have?

  Only APC's Back-UPS series use a stepped/approximated sinewave, their enterprise and professional class UPS systems are all pure sinewave. Cyberpower has several cheaper units that use stepped as well, it's very common on a cheap UPS.   A good UPS (pure sinewave) will not have any negative...

I ended up with two copies of a Thievery Corporation album (one clear, one black) that i've kept just because I like using the clear one for pictures.  

Weather finally took a turn for the better and I was able to throw on my summer clothes and do a solid ~35 miles in some gorgeous 70°F sun.   On a related note, I recently discovered (after having intermittent issues with the front derailleur ever since I bought the bike) that the shop I...

  I know how that is.  

That's a nice bike. Nice scenery too, as usual i'm not doing much riding this time of year.   This was from one of my last rides of the season, and I saw maybe one other person the whole time I was out.  

  Herman Miller makes specialized rubber wheels for use on hardwood floors, I don't care for the way floor mats look.

I need to get a stand for my D2000's.  

Sorry, it's not packed up to be distributed. It references files for icons and overlays that are stored in a folder somewhere on my computer and it's using various other user-specific hacks that I wouldn't even know where to begin making it redistributable.

Our city started this "Alternative Transportation" plan about 10 years ago that's resulted in a lot of nice, paved trails that snake through the various subdivisions, parks, and city centers of the area.   There's still lots of trail to add before it will match the original projection and...

Made some updates to my skin.  

First ride of the season.    

  Looks like a knockoff. The tops of the legs arn't chromed and the leather looks cheap, plus the dimensions are off.

That's just about the worst thing i've ever seen.

Here's a summary of all the great rides i've been going on in this miserable weather.  

Still carrying my Nexus 4 and still more than happy with it.   I had skipped the 5 with the intention of upgrading to the 6, but unfortunately they decided to jump on the bandwagon of needlessly large phones that wish they were tablets so i've skipped that one too.  

  Exercise is very beneficial to your mental health, I wish more people understood this. For me it's cycling, but it could be running, or working out, or swimming etc. I know people who simply refuse to believe this, and it's frustrating.
