This is bad. This is very bad. I went to Radio Shack today to buy a $3 adapter. I came home with said adapter, and a new Soldering Iron. Fuck. Now i'm going to find any excuse in the world to solder something.

This is compounded with the fact that when i get bored i start to take things apart. Usually I disassemble things that are working perfectly fine. Sometimes they get put back together in the same working condition. Sometimes i find ways to imporove performance or alter its use. Other times i just destroy these objects. The combination of this terrible habit and now a new soldering iron that is just waiting to be tested on ANYTHING electronic is bad.

Possible victims that are taunting me to take them apart:
-2 Old VCRs that are currently not being used/not working properly.
-A TV that doesn't like to do what remotes tell it to do (both its stock remote and a brand new universal remote that worked on the TV for all of 2 days)
-An old cell phone
-My old Dell PII 350MHz machine. This one is probably going to be the first to feel my wrath. What i'm thinking about doing is seeing if i could somehow take that computer apart, take out the PCI cardslots and corresponding chipsets and build a home made PCI port replicator to plug into my Laptop's Port Replicator/Docing connection. If anyone knows if this can be done or how, hit me up.

Also, the whole premise f me doing that would be to utilize the soundcard from that computer (As was ranted about in several previous journal entries) It's not your run of the mill "Good Soundcard" but rather a soundcard that goes to a breakout box that is to be used in a recording studio. It has mic pre-amps and lots of different things that regular really-good soundcards that you're probably thinking of dont do.

Now the thing is, that's an old product and the manufacturer doesn't have any downloadable drivers on its website in order to use that soundcard on Windows XP. (The card is currently in a Windows 98 system) Is that a lost cause, or is there a way to creat my own drivers and salvage that card?

alright, well I have some stuff recorded, but they're not really any of my completed songs. A friend of mine came over and we had an almost-hour-long jam with 4 jams in there. Some stuff is interesting, but my skillz with the looping isn't quite up to par to really flesh out the possibilities of my setup.

So here you go.
