It really irritates me that I was trained as a fixer of electronic things, specifically radios but alas this a rare event now. Someone comes to me with a VCR, TAM etc and its usually some hideous custom ASIC or totally unobtainable micro that has failed. So I migrate to development.. and guess what... there are all these lovely I.Cs that do exactly what you want.. but you have to buy 7,000,000 of them to even get a look in OR you see a useful microcontroller .. and you need an ICE, programmer etc that either costs and arm, a leg and a kidney to buy OR the development gear is ONLY several hundred dollars but you have to wait for 8 months for the micros you want. THEN some delightful character comes onto your list and tells you that the micro you pour your money, blood ,sweat and tears into is a pile of pooh and if you are clever .. like him.. you will cast aside those old dev tools for the new dev tools associated with his wonderful micro that is so good .... and so the cycle begins again...

That's a pretty heavy guitar. But at least he wouldn't be the backup for the band(s) that smash their guitar.

A significant portion of North Auckland's and East Coast's economy is weed and benefits based. In a country the size of UK or Japan but only a fraction of the population, a suitable climate and plenty of bush cover, remote towns with no industry, "laid-back" lifestylers aren't hard to find.

I know this isn't a popular view there - but California isn't a country (yet) :-> so in terms of national per capita consumption I think it's entirely possible for NZ to top the league of space cadets; always accepting that it's the kind of thing that is, almost by definition, impossible to measure properly in the first place.

Here in the american west, there are large [???] bands of hippies that live year round in the national forests. Loosely called the Rainbow Family. Migrate like snowbirds with the seasons. 100s of them used to summer in Boulder, and panhandle on the mall, but the sheriff closed down all the free campgrounds in Boulder county a couple of years ago, so they aren't as numerous as before. They are apparently the children of the flower children of the 60s. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

British Royalty once visited Brisbane many moons ago and were slowly motoring along in a parade in thier honor. I didn't know this and came screaming out of a side street on an old 1942 Harley Davidson which blew smoke, leaked oil, and gave the best and loudest POP BOOMs from the exhaust whenever you changed gears.
