Weird things happening @ head-fi....
We're just testing new setups and in order to find the optimal settings, it will take some trial and error. Repetition is the mother of skill. So if you see a post repeated three times, read it, read it, read it.- neil

Arrested Development cancelled? The possible demise of an amazing tv show.
You can listen to a funny interview on Fresh Air with Terri Gross here -- it's with the creator of Arrested Development, Mitch Hurwitz. He talks about the cancellation/abridgement in detail. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4987832 - originally aired on November 3, 2005.- neil

Purpose of high octane gas
A friend of mine that owns gas stations told me that their distributor only has two types of gasoline in his fuel truck.. the lower octane, and the higher octane, and that the mid-grade is just a mixture of the two -- how scientific the measurement of the ratio/mixture, he wasn't sure.. in fact...- neil

Why would ya…….
The only photo that that would be disturbing in that regard, would be me handling/wearing the headphones.. because that would probably be the last record of the phones being in one piece.- neil

This place is LAGGY
Thanks for your suggestions. mod_gzip has already been deployed a long while back. MSIE page status does not show the compressed size, but Mozilla does. But if you have access to a Web client that supports HEAD requests, you'll see that any text/PHP content on the www6 is gzip encoded. Zend...- neil

Photo section has been corrupted -- you can help.
During a software upgrade, I managed to kill the photo-post database, as well as the backup that I made just minutes previous. So, rather than busting out into self-deprecating humor, how about this.. If you had an album on the photo section, send me TWO (what you think are) UNIQUE file names...- neil

Investing, where to go?
It's called PayPal, and my email address is: neil@head-fi.org . But honestly? Go to Sound Money. Don't take one piece of advice.. read, and learn about investment strategy. If this is your first real investment, don't throw it all in some stock that interests you. If it's a huge sum, diversify...- neil

Black Friday Deals
I tried my hand at Black Friday shopping @ Office Max. A 200GB WD HDD for $49.99 after rebate, you'd be a bonehead not to get it; however, the lines -- you'd be a bonehead, or better yet, a very patient person to stand in them. Even though all cash registers were moving at full clip, the line...- neil

Happy birthday Neil!
Yeah, the logos are hard work, but it's all worth it to entertain you guys. (just kidding, I never touch the logos -- I think it's the house elves that work on those) Well, my HD600s and SR-80s are on loan to my postman, who is turning into a head-fi addict (I think he just lurks here, if at...- neil
