Hooking my new audioengine D1 up to my studio monitors

I'm astounded by the sound quality, especially considering it's basically USB plug & play.

Not today, but the girl I've been seeing and I made things official this week. Went over to spent the weekend with her in VIC and had a great time meeting her family and then spending a day on Philip Island walking around the coast. Been a while since I've had a girlfriend. She's pretty bloody great! Genuinely nice and super caring...and absolutely gorgeous! Definitely punching well above my weight, so I'm stoked about that haha.

Congrats to you sir... Best of luck with the relationship...

AS for me, finally after being more than 2 months late my block of land has now been registered with council and the builders can get on with it... Feeling pretty good that we are that 1 step closer to being in our house...

Promoted all the changes from the prototype environment we have been working on for a month and a bit to the development environment and it is mostly working OK.

The graduate who did the UI has been pretty awesome (hope we can keep him) while I have developed the backend service.

It isn't a perfect picture but for the time we have had it is pretty damn good

I hear you!

My rates/water/electricity/gas bills hit me in late October early November, great to get them out of the way for the festive season - lets me kick back into reality and enjoy it.

Until March - ouch!
