Off Topic / New Guitar Gear!
« on: March 10, 2014, 05:47:56 PM »
Yesterday I went to Guitar Center and picked up this lovely Vox AC15. The sound is great. The cleans are very articulate and very similar to a Fender clean sound, but the driven sound is more British and compressed and is much better than a twangy Fender drive. It's also not too bassy and will let me cut through better because of the high end response it provides.

Off Topic / My avatar just changed.
« on: February 26, 2014, 06:01:38 PM »
I know there have been problems with avatars lately, and I tried change my avatar last week, but it stayed the same.

Then suddenly today it changes to what I wanted it to without any intervention on my part.

Why is there like a 5 day latency between when my avatar actually works?

Off Topic / DNS Poisoning?
« on: February 22, 2014, 07:46:00 AM »
My grandmother sent me an email saying that she is constantly being redirected to other sites whenever she uses ant web browser. My first and most obvious thought would that her DNS address was changed, but I don't know if it could be something else like some sort of browser hijacker or something. What else should I check for? Also, I don't know her original DNS address either, so if it were that I would probably just set it to Google's free DNS service (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4).

This week I will be taking my CompTIA A+ test, and I just want to know if anyone here has taken it and how hard it is, or if they have any tips.

Off Topic / Universities are starfishs
« on: February 13, 2014, 07:02:50 PM »
I took the PSAT a while back and now my inbox is only spam from every god damn university in the country.



They also assault my real mailbox for added benefit.

Off Topic / What symbol is this?
« on: February 05, 2014, 03:43:50 PM »


I have no clue what this is, it looks like a coda but I don't know. There was a double bar right before this on the line above if that means anything.

Off Topic / I got a new half stack
« on: January 18, 2014, 06:02:57 PM »
I went to my local guitar shop today and bought a badass Peavey Headliner 600W and a USA Ampeg 1x15 cab to match.

I just have to work out some problems with the cabinet and I'll be ready to rock.

Creativity / Worth Continuing?
« on: January 06, 2014, 05:04:18 PM »
I've been working on colorizing a vector of Rory Gallagher just because I thought it would be cool, but I'm wary as to how it's turning out.
Is it worth continuing or should I abandon it?

Original:


Mine:


Also what changes should I make? I have no context on this picture as to what color anything should be, (besides hair color and the guitar) and am just going to go with what looks best.

Off Topic / Can't use old avatar.
« on: December 10, 2013, 09:56:32 AM »
I had an old GIF avatar of George Carlin that I wanted to re-use, but the forums are telling me that it is either too big or taking too long to upload. Did the size restriction for avatars get more strict or something?

Edit: The file size is only 355 KB.

I think we all understand what "dismissed" means in N.K.
