Title: That plesure/pain theory is so true.
Post by: donovan.x on January 24, 2009, 01:25:25 PM

Pleasure:
 Yesterday I sold my Jackson (that I never should have purchased) for a fair price, so this morning I used the funds wisely to ring my mate up at Soundpad to order a Blackstar DistX pedal and a nice new planet waves cable.

Pain:
After having ordered my new pedal I set about learning the solo for Psychosocial for one of my students, I got my external HDD out to access the mp3, going quite nicely untill I had to get up.....at which point I triped over the power cable for the HDD and sent it crashing (hard enough to chip my laminate flooring) to the ground!!!!!! Yes you guessed it, now it's f'd!!!! over 100gb of mp3's, loads of PDF tab books, photos of my family, the lot, gone.

Pleasure/Pain....FACT!
 :( :lol: 8) :?

Nightmare!

I have two 500gb harddrives full of music, two 500gb that run my studio stuff, one for saving to and one for running all the samples and whatnot from, another 500gb one for bits and bobs then two terabyte backups.

I got a virus once which wiped out everything mid-backup when everything was connected. I very nearly cried. Most of my own work was also backed up on DVDs, but nothing else was.

I hate to add to your pain, but planet waves cables are in every way inferior to the custom-made award session ClearTone cables which can be found here[/i], which are also quite a bit cheaper than planet waves cables...

Maybe pain in the short-term, but for the future, definitely knowing this will be more on the pleasure side of the spectrum ;)

Two scary failing PC storys. *shudders*

I remember dropping my 10 day old and at the time 300 quid ipod photo down the toilet, that made me feel sick too. Even though its funny now.

Loosing hundreds of gigs of files is just unthinkable  :x I hope you somehow manage to retrieve them, if its possible.

I read that wrong, initially i thought you meant your 10 day old baby and your ipod in the toilet  PDT_009

Almost every thread turns onto a cleartone cable advert, before long a thread entitled 'my wife has left me' or 'I've just had all my fingers amputeted' will end up with:-

Why don't you get some cleartone yellow tab cables to hang yourself with, they even make them to measure, so your feet won't touch the ground

That said, I must get some ordered :D
