Well, hi there everyone...
I'm feeling a bit better now but I'm gonna take it mad easy this weekend so that my immune system can get right back on top of it all. Sleeping in and eating well.
I've quit smoking properly too. The doctor really put the shits up me by saying that she could hear the damage I had caused my lungs already...

pete_burgers:
get well hairy.. i need you fit as a fiddle in a few weeks otherwise i'll have to drink scotch and listen to metal all by myself.
OK.
Well, I'm feeling a bit better now, still a little sick but I'll live.
The cool thing is that I'm in Sydney at 301 studios with Don Bartley right now doing the mastering! YAY!
Also got my new laptop the other day, haven't set it up properly yet, but it's a MOTHERFUCKER! and it ain't too small either.
Life is good.

Arrgghh!
I'm sick. Worst flu I've had in years. Bed sweats and all.
Off to Aussie tomorrow too, to master that damn Kitsch album.
Still on dial up.
Computer still crashes.
Life is marginal.

Take care of yourself bro! I will talk to you soon, when you back?
Well it's been a little over 2 months since I walked into studio 203 to produce this album with Kitsch and it's been a little over 18 months since we starting wrtting and pre-production and today, this glorious sunday afternoon we have finished mixing thhe album. 9 weeks of hard slog in the studio with many a bad kebab or cold pizza being consumed. This...

Kitschs last album was pretty good IMO.
Perhaps you guys could put some samples into something new? That'd be interesting I'm sure.

Well, Telecom is the biggest suckiest arse piece of shit company in the world. We were informed by Telecom before we moved into our new house here on the beautiful Waiheke Island that the whole island was ready to have DSL provided to the lines. So after we moved in I ordered our DSL conection through Orcon who then pass and order on to Telecom....

Mate that sucks 
I had a similiar problem when I moved out East a while back. They told us we could get it but when it came time to actually install it, it was a flat out no as our area didn't have the technology to run it. We kept pestering Telecom and complained that we were told our area was provisioned for it. After a few months of continual bitching to them, we ended up with DSL.
Hope you can get it sorted soon eh. Dial up sucks

Dude. Telecom fucking suck. I haven't given my money to them in years eh. Do you want me to find out about a certain wireless project going on over there at the moment? It means you could bypass Telecom altogether. Wouldn't that be loverly.
We've just moved into our house on Waiheke and it's dope. I'll have to take some pics with matts cam and post them. Sarah and I wake to the view of the pacific ocean every day, and although it's been really shitty weather recently it's still extremly beautiful.
Anyways, gotta go. More boxes to unpack.
P.S. Dial Up Is SHIT!!!!!!

good ol kiwis huh? i am a lil kiwi at heart. have fun unpacking 
I can't believe it. It's all over. We've finished the album, well, I lie we're coming back to do 3 last days mixing in two weeks time. But it's going to be very strange not going to Studio 203 on Manday and hanging out for 14 hour a day with Sam, Ben, Dan, Andrew, Bengineer and all the other hangers on. I feel like there's...

I hate Macs. We're trying to mix this album and all this G5 does well is crash... every 5 minutes or so... very frustrating. Gimme a PC any day, at least when it crashes I know how to fix the problem. Mac's are just far too 'user friendly' to be able to get inside and mess with things.
GGRRRRR!!!!!

I'm better now.
About to start mixing the Kitsch album but we have to wait about 4 hours for the drives to de-frag. Yay - not!
It's gonna be cool though. I did a rough video mix for the NZ on air funding round and it came up real good without too much work.
Finished product in 2 weeks. Can't wait.
