2tb Storage, buying another end of the month for 4tb Raid goodness.

 

Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5

 

Not fancy the Tokina 11-16?

 

Original glass has better resale value fyi.

****ing hippie.

 

Sony MDR-1R.

 

Not quite. I still shower every morning and don't revolt against the technology while smoking weed (unlike your past self Shirty ) and all the other typical hippie stuff.

 

Unfortunately Shirty is right, Joss sticks are for hippies.

 

Ah well, they make my room smell nice.

I'll be sure to keep them away from your HHKB though.

 

Picked it up for a diorama. I'm gonna be stuck sitting or lying down for a while now, so I figured I should be somewhat productive.

 

My little NAS box has arrived a new ds112+. Now to learn how to use the Damn thing as last time I have up but not this time.

Fixed now.

Looks interesting Kayin, what's the actual size like?

My purchases of late have been a couple of tanks of fuel, and one of these:


Reading Ben Rich's "Skunkworks" piqued my modelling interest once again. Now I just need to find a 1/48th scale SR-71 and I'm sorted.

 

Winter's coming and college seems to want me to indulge in my hobbies, this means anime and more model making is on the cards. This could get expensive.

 

i gave up model making in uni, but my anime habit started in earnest as the uni society used a lecture theatre to show episodes once a week, there'd be 4 or 5 series on the go at any one time. It was all FMA (original), samurai champloo and Guu when i started attending regularly, makes me nostalgic just thinking about it.

SHADDAP ITS TRIPPY AS ****!

 

My Amex has just melted into a smouldering heap...

GRRRR... Makita LS1040 Mitre Saw



Slightly less grr, but a good staple tool I'm sick of making do without



Not grr at all, but quite necessary as the house I'm moving in to on Thursday hasn't got one, a Bosch something or other washing machine



And absolutely GRR, a telemuhvision for my new man-cave, Sammy UE65F6400



I was so intent on getting a plasma that this almost slipped under my radar -
cracking value in comparison to the other 65" options on the market IMO, which would have meant either compromising on size or spending ~£3000-3500 for an F8500 or VT65, and neither option was particularly appetizing. Sadly Panny opted out of a 65" for the ST series this time around, which is a shame, as it would have made a great telly, but I reckon it's because the ST50 cannibalized on sales of the VT50 last time around. Could have opted for an ex-demo or refurb E8000 or ST50 for a bit less, but this came in tow with a 5y warranty which is a nice bonus, and I'll be saving ~£500 over the course of the next 5 years by going LCD over plasma as well, which is an added bonus. If you can't tell, I'm still trying to convince myself a little bit, but I reckon it's the right call for me at this time.

 

Great choice on the TV I have the 40" version.

Also congrats on house ownership! Home owning is a expensive hobbie, but so rewarding!
