@sparcipx I have a 100 sided, but I never use it in battle. It's just easier to roll 2 two D10. I have the Zochihedron 100-sided. I think it actually has pellets in it to keep it from rolling forever. I bought the D120 just to have it.

I was listening to the PMillet tube pre with my better condenser mics. Sounds pretty damn huge to me. Killer. Definitely have to build another one of these in the future.

The new dice I got when I was out of town.

A full set made of metal. A big D20, and a D120.

@sikkdays I'd test the tube(s) first, then check the heater voltage.

@sikkdays Yeah, that's not surprising.

We used to have a popular discotech called "Planet something" that had a real space age feel, back in the day.

@sikkdays I remember disco very clearly. We made fun of it relentlessly.

I was joking about Saturday Night Fever last night. It's on again. It's been 42 years and I still don't think I've seen it all the way through.

When disco lovers were watching this, I was watching Star Wars.

@TheGibson DON'T DO IT.

IT'S THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.

I was doing some listening through an old Masterlink I have kicking around. Can't wait to record with it.

The two channel version of this pre is officially finished, unless I buy the FPE custom panel I designed for it.

After talking to the designer in email, he was confident with an off the shelf switching PSU that has a proper ground, I could get away with putting that in the case because of all the filtering he designed into the circuit.

Outputs are balanced with Sowters.

Sounds amazing. Might build another in a few months.

Watching Saturday Night Fever. Disco flashbacks. Why was there no trigger warning?

I wish I were using this computer RIGHT NOW.

Laser cut and engraved circular graduated labels for the pots.

Showing Show Boat (1936) to a community group of kids. I like doing this kind of stuff at the museum.

@TheGibson It didn't occur to me that you probably meant ASK ME ANYTHING, until later. I'm old and still not down with all of these acronyms.

@TheGibson Yes.

@TheGibson That's not a thing.

If you're idea of hell is an overly-melodramatic unending chick-flick, then don't watch this.

I have Gone With the Wind on. I've never actually seen this.

Did my panel evaluations tonight.
