stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Eczema can be inherited & it can come on thru exposure to allergens/environment (hot/cold) and/or stress, either way it can be fuckin annoying. Lived with the shit for years.....

If a cream/moisturizer like e45 isnt helping a mild steroid might, betnovate/betamethasone (depending on where u are in the world) will usually shift stubborn patches. If not something like clobetasol/dermovate will stomp that itch/irritation patches clear out of your system.

If you use long term there are certain risks w/steroids, but if u save the heavy artillery for the bad times u'll be fine.

ps: it might be worth having an allergy/skin-prick test done to see if there's anything thats changed in recent times to cause said irritation

I'm getting super tired of acid reflux. Feeling like someone has put an anvil to my chest which I have to drag around wherever I go. It scared the hell out of me since I first thought that I had some major problems with my lungs. Have been suffering from this on and off since last summer. I've checked my diet and tried some medicine which help temporarily but the symptons just keep getting back after a while. Yay, Rephlex acid outside and acid reflux inside...burb burb long live braindance

two of my favourite bands have reissues out and i'm too skint to purchase any.

I went to dentist today to fix tooths. Now the pain is even greater.

So, this is pretty weird... I just had a vocal session where every time the client stepped up to the mic to record, the signal would cut out either right away or after a few seconds. I did a factory reset of the board, then did some troubleshooting using my own voice and everything seemed to be back to normal. So I get him to record the part again, and again it cuts out right after he starts singing. Here's where it gets weird. After a few more tries of this, I go up to the mic and sing some randomness. No matter how long I sing for, I cannot replicate the problem. Then he'll step up to the mic and immediately it will happen again. There are no significant volume differences between our voices. We're both standing as close to still as humanly possible. All the variables are the same. Yet any time I record it works perfectly and every time he tries the signal cuts out --we repeated this process maybe 20 times over, and every time the results were the same. Can people cause electrical disturbances? That sounds like some pseudoscience bullshit, but I can't think of any logical reason why this would keep happening only for him and not me. In fact, the last time I had this problem was about two months ago, during a session where the same guy was singing. I've recorded vocals for an entire album and then some since then with not a single instance of the signal cutting out like this. Serious WTF. The really bad news is that after we shut things down, I smelled electrical burning. There's a good chance my board is fucked now. Hopefully I can find a comparable rental board until I get this sorted out.

is he wearing something, a gadget or some necklace with some shit that might cause it when he gets close to the mic?

Or maybe even just a phone with bluetooth or something enabled?

Could interfere!

Almost everyone who comes to record has cell/smartphones, many of which no doubt are using bluetooth, so that's probably not it. As for gadgets/jewelery, I'm not sure, but there was nothing that I noticed. I was wondering if maybe he's carrying around an excessive amount of static electricity.

Excel can fucking blow me. Whole day's worth of work gone.

Zephyr - is he a hippy?

cell phones used to mess with all of my works scanners and stuff, thought there might be something there...

hmm it's definitely a weird one!

Haha, funny you should phrase it like that, as "ghost" is part of the client's nickname.... so yeah, quite literally!

Maybe that guy is constantly out of phase and cancels himself out? Does he talk?

lol -best theory so far! I'll get him to sort out his phasing issues for next time.

Bought a 2nd hand 2011 Macbook Pro.

Plugged my 160gb ipod classic into it, working fine. Dropped the newest Afx SC tracks into it, ejected. Ipod wiped.

:<

Tried going back to factory settings and discover it's corrupted and was probably an underlying hardware problem waiting to jump out.

Also the ipod classic is now discontinued and cunts are selling new ones on amazon for £400. Not sure if mine is past a year old yet but if I do find the reciept and return it what are apple gonna replace it with?

Have about 4 or 5 borked ipod classics in a drawer now so I may attempt to replace the HD on one and turn this into a FWS.
