Proud of u. I was on a Xenakis kick a couple years ago and was looking for cheap software that did the whole micro-sound thing. It's amazing what developments have happened in the last 4 years.
OFF TOPIC: But we should twitch ourselves watching the premier of UZUMAKI and reflect the preview screen in a mirror and reflect that against another mirror...
Oh... hai Inconuucl... I heard you like micro-sound tee-hee! Can I hear some of ur choons when you master that plug in?

I know this feeling, I have a bag of ten of those fucking things from the same type of mishap. I keep thinking one day I'll find a way to use them that does not involve foisting them on the unwary.
Saw this the other day, would you believe I have made the same mistake?? Only I ordered a bag of 10 2.5mm PLUGS. Being all the way across the pond I think a trade would cost more than it's worth, but if/when any of us buy pedals off eachother this should be kept in mind. For now the only thing I might use them for is making 2.1 - 2.5mm power cables, but I don't need that.
Otherwise I haven't bought anything big lately. Just components, enclosures, a pancake plug patch cable and a bag of Tama Royalstar bass drum lugs for my Swingstar kit (only one had to be replaced, so I have like 8 left if anyone needs).

Oooweee I can't wait. I got the bug, and started looking at amps again, even though I don't need anything near that powerful right now...actually had my eye on the 4 Stroke cause of the nice parametric eq and compressor, then stumbled onto the Ob-1 locally for a steaaal. I figured I'd regret it later if I didn't jump . I do however have to upgrade speakers or get a new cab to use it haha

I am shopping for a power supply now, and even those have cool fan lights built in. The aesthetics and fancy lighting options are the real rabbit hole, which I don't really want to get too deep into, but they sure make it tempting when every single part you can buy has the DAZZLING BLINKENLIGHTS option. I just need max ram and a hot shit crossfire setup, some solid state drives and I'm good. Pretty sure I don't need a liquid cooling system and radiators for that, but I absolutely did go at it this way for the aesthetics as well as the actual use needs.
The single aesthetic consideration I made with my PC was that my case has a window in it, to see all the bits and included as standard blinking lights inside. So 90% of the time it's like, one LED. And also it was the right size and had the right stuff on it. Will never pay more for fan lights or anything
money down the drain, too!
