Now you got me interested. Being only 24 years old and probably among
the younger people on this list, I wonder if it's ever possible to find
a woman with acceptable looks and proper cup-size that likes us nerds
and synths?
Just a spark in the dark to start a new thread :-D

Don't worry Tim. You're normal. Well as normal as it gets round here.
Some
would call us "elitist, nerdy schmucks" but do we care? Are we going to
change our ways? Do we long for wine women and song? Hell no!
Not unless the wine is to wash down an E, the women are getting giggy
with
a synth and song is some techno-esk beat perhaps.
I really like the whiteboard idea. I've always craved a whiteboard.
Unfortunately there's no-where left in here I could put one. Well not if
I
wanted access to it. Every wall, every space, every flat surface has
something attached to it. So I've had to suffer and use a computer
instead.
What a shame.
I'm currently at the beginnings of attempting to replace my
studio/workshop
floor. The current one is concrete and seems to have a spot of concrete
cancer or something. It's crumbling under the chairs. Mind you that
floor
is probably 60 years old. So I bought this floating flooring stuff.
These
clip-together wood panel things made in Germany. You lay 'em down on top
of
a kind of foamy sheet stuff. Thus the term "floating floor." This allows
them to expand and contract. They're ideal for running chairs over so
they
should be good for dropping globs of solder on.
But they're all wood grain of various colours and textures. I was really
hoping for something a bit more sci-fi esk. Perhaps tile-board would
have
been better? I don't know how hard or durable it is. Or how brittle.
This
floating floor stuff is good (and about all I could afford) but it
doesn't
have that "solaris" feel to it. (The original Russian version of the
film I
mean.)
But it's hard and durable and ideally suited for workshop floors. I'm a
bit
concerned about acoustic reflections but then again, this place is so
stacked with junk that all the odd angles work better than proper
acoustic
foam.
Australia is a shed culture. Most males have a shed. If not then they
aspire to one. Many females now have their own sheds too. "His and her"
sheds in the back yard are not uncommon. It is said of sheds. "There are
two kinds of sheds. Those which are cluttered and messy. And those which
are spotless in which nothing ever happens." Or as someone one jibed.
"Cluttered shed. Cluttered Mind."
Conversely. "Empty shed......"
NOTE: I have 3 sheds and a closed in carport area. Known as "Plant 1"
thru
"Plant 4" And still hardly any space to work in. :(
Be absolutely Icebox.
