Typical burst of activity.
True to form at the inception of a new scheme enthusiasm reigns. I'm adding my second entry in the space of a few hours. I've already checked to see if anyone has bothered to comment twice. This is despite the fact that I would be alerted by email the very second someone did.
I have spent the day entering data printed on a table into an excel spreadsheet. Its totally pointless yet needs doing. This how we push back the frontiers of science with relentlessly dull miniscule steps. There are millions of us round the world all copying tables reading papers like an army of geeky moles. We all should have gone to specsavers.

I've been having a great time of late setting up my hifi. I've added better interconnects, a DAB tuner and a awsome Audiolab 8000DAC Digital to analogue converter which will make the music on my computer sound cool (when it gets here from Austria). I have also added a turntable (Rega planar 3) so I can play A's records. I have been knocked sideways by the amazing sound. I am a child of the CD era but the clarity and richness is really obvious to me and I'm almost deaf in my left ear. So today I've been bidding on a few LPs. Important classics like the Top Gun sound track. 99p is my current bid.
Hopefully the new DAC will add sufficient sparkle to my cd playback to check this vinyl obsession or I will have to start buying all my favorite albums again.
