Alright. So I've been here in Melbs for two months. How the bloody hell does a person studying from home go about meeting new people?

Ive never paid attention to bpm, you limit what you can do with your music. Some tracks sound wicked played slower or faster than what they were written to - use your ears and find different context for the same track. Much fun.

Its only the order of the crate. You don't have to follow it. I don't find it limiting at all. I'll pick a tune that I think will go, not that is the same bpm as the last. Even when I mixed vinyl I'd pay attention to speed relative to that genre, I wouldn't know bpms. I'd much rather view what's in that tracks range personally, as a priority of crate order. My crate goes from 70 to 170 bpm or so. It pays to be aware of the possibilities not to do so I would find it limiting. I can even see what's possible at half or double tempo, very quickly.My 2c.

I do know of atheists and Buddhists that go to church purely for socialising/networking purposes. Pretty bad. But then again, you could say most of the people who go every Sunday are nothing beyond nominal anyway -- just going along with tradition or "it's good for the kids".

[Infinitude]

There's an eventist church just round the corner . Wouldn't surprise me either, this area is as backward as the Kansas State school curriculum.

A book club might be more my thing (provided there's a few for under 40s).

but surely its one of the few benefits of limited eyesight??

A part time job? I worked in a cinema while I was at uni. High turnover of staff, that were mostly students. Met loads of people through it.

[nosaj D:]

Go to the park and meet strangers. Actually judging by my experience, don't.

How much does it cost for a house settlement?

[Kirky85]

? More details needed

[Chach]

How much does it cost for a house settlement?

Should be able to find it on reiwa, the fees are pretty standard

[Infinitude]

Satan: Not sure what you're getting at.

ravewiththemachine: There's a thought. Even volunteering.

Oddly enough I never click with other blind/partially sighted people. I have never understood why.

[Satan]

you can pick up the rsvp hosebeasts and not have to look at them

[Infinitude]

^ but I have my highly acute sense of touch to worry about!

yeh for sure, i often play drum and bass tracks at 33

[Infinitude]

Wish I still mixed. I often find myself thinking that some tunes would be markedly better if pitched up/down.

Can anyone recommend a courier in Perth to transport a 3m x 1.5m canvas?

Can anyone recommend a courier in Perth to transport a 3m x 1.5m canvas?

Recently had someone use Transdirect to courier some studio monitors from M E L B O U R N E to Perth. I think their agent over here is Allied Express, $60 was all it cost which I thought was a decent price

[heyuinthebush]

That is pretty decent!

Stay away from the big name freight companies, they are expeno for private customers. Try pack n send?

[Deej]

Allied said too big! Waiting to hear from Pack n Send

[Slurm]

Build yourself some damned-good packaging.

After having one of her works damaged, mum builds custom cases for all her work to be transported in.

where did the new TS background come from? looks farmiliar?

[Uncle Tom]

Ok. So I have booked my instrumentation couse on the inspiration of ts. Sneeza who do you work for? Satan, brooa... No pm. Wait till I quit and then I will bag them. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long till I quit anyways

Very basic photoshop question

I open a jpeg and resize it to A3 dimensions (420mmx297mm), I then create a new canvas at 841mmx420mm. I drag the A3 sized jpeg onto this canvas but it appears about one quarter the size it should (roughy 118mmx162mm by eye). My new canvas has a height the exact same dimension as the width of my A3 jpeg (420mm) but it appears tiny on the new canvas. WTFFF?

[Slurm]

Resolution mismatch.

Number of pixels per measure is different between the documents.

When they are the same, you will no longer have that problem.

Basic guideline: 72 dpi for screen, 150 dpi for line art and 300 dpi for print.

Anywhere in the CBD I can go to buy some good fish to cook for dinner?

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought you could get fresh fish at the food court at David Jones

[Satan]

So they sharpen on the premises or send them out??

[R3450N]

Can I get a bulk discount if I come in with all my gangster mates and get all our machetes done?
Do they also clean off those pesky blood stains?
Do they ever report suspicious activity to the police????

[brooa]

i dont know a butcher mate does mine, but hes a crazy country boy. i make sure im no where near him with sharp objects, cattle prods, cars etc. hahaha

[BLEGH!]

So almost finished my holiday.... is it a bit sad to say i'm looking forward to getting home ??
I'm shopped out, running out of money and the azns are doing my head in, I miss getting up and taking my own sweet time doing stuff and being in a rush all of the time coz of the 'traffic' which dictates how far we go and what time we leave the house/ leave places.
Am i krazy ?

[Satan]

yes

[BLEGH!]

TBH I also miss my friends and jumping in my car and just cruising. Still kwazy ?

[nosaj D:]

Given the price of petrol and you go 'just cruising', yes. Yes you're crazy.

[Satan]

This is why I've given up jet skiing in favour of a yacht.

[frogman]

Petrol is cheap is australia.
