[sdiy] Two questions about the list

[Jim Patchell]

    It is also a question of time...

    As long as I am building something...I am happy...I would still love to build a digital
synth in an FPGA (http://www.silcom.com/~patchell/dsynth/dsynth.html ), but, I also want to
build analog synths as well.  The main problem is there isn't enough time for me to do all
the things I want to do.  Some things will have to remain as dreams.

    Although, on the time front, I got good news and bad news.  The good news...starting Nov
9, we will be on a 32 hour week...the bad news, we only get paid for 32 hours per week...at
least I still have a job :-)

    I am going to use those extra Fridays to concentrate on DIY synths...which is a good
thing.

    My take on what is appropriate for this list is if it has anything to do with Music
Synthesizers, and it is DIY, this is where you post it.
