about the only pic i have of me on a PC anywhere - im not very photogenic and guys dont want to be shattering their lenses taking photo's of me 



im the guy on the right with the black and white jacket - the other two guys are my buddies Ralph and Jason (recently departed may he RIP) and Jasons nephew while we went on a trip to the berg and stopped over at ...... i think it was Howick falls if memeory serves me correctly on the way back

I would normally say that those are wasted in that type of environment, as those severs have 45 - 50Db+ fans. have you put quieter fans in the racks or do the panels do all the work?

Fans in rack is off, very quiet fans in the servers... else panels to quiten the room as well.

Maybe Skinny should change his Nic?

I got this pic off one of the other forums I belong to.
This person is also called Skinny, and I'm telling you, there's one moerse big difference between the two Skinny's.   

hahah while checking out some older posts I saw this. Yeah, Skinny van Schalk wyk. Quite a famous girl in the TB & litter forums ;-)
Pic was taken in centurion at a shop I will not mention and never support again.

Hi AV bros

This is me in NZ just after I filled my own gas. There's no petrol attendants here in ALL BLACK land.
They got lucky by the way.

Hello there! What part of the Shaky Isles are you from? Just got back a month or so ago from my secone visit there. Wish the flights weren't so bloody expensive!

Kiora!

I'm here in Auckland bud

Missing the 'STRICT LAWS' concerning speeding in SA though.lol...love the technology here!!!

Try V-Australia for the flights, they kinda reasonable, but the flight between AUS & NZ is in a smaller plane......and they charge for drinks/meals....so beware!lol

Where did you stay when you visited?

Ah, never made it north. Landed Wellington, stayed for a few days then went south - Blenheim, Kaikoura, Christchurch and then the Franz Josef glacier.

I didn't realize that mixing desks could type 



Oh there you are in the darkness

What desk is that Hugo? Looks like something I'd like to get my hands on! Although the EQ looks a little limited?

Cheers
G!

Its a Souncraft GB4 32. The desk is nice and clean with lekker preamps. EQ: hi shelf, hi-mid sweep, lo-mid sweep with lo shelf. cool for smaller festivals or corporate gigs as its lacking on auxes for bigger bands [6 pre, 2 post]. Allen & Heath GL2800 is cheaper with better EQ, auxes and the huge A&H preamps if you are looking for something similar. Although people like Jimmy Dludlu, Nudegirls, Vicky Sampson and Mango Groove have been through it with no problems except for monitor sends if we didn't have a monitor desk.

Ah yes, I can see the extra set of pots on the pic now! First thought it just had Shelf Hi and Lo, and just the one mid sweep!

I do like the A&H GL2800, and would probably be one of my first choices, but the soundcraft gear is also nice! I started out with an old 16 channel Soundcraft studio desk, which is still being used in the church I passed it to when I moved from the UK. I also got to play with a 40 channel Soundtracs Midas desk which had a fantastic warmth that only analogue can give.

Still, would have loved to have gotten my hands on an SSL or Neve!

Anyhow, enough off-topic chat... Thanks for sharing!
