FireGL for my HPs

I received the two FireGL-UX cards (FireGL 2 PCI) yesterday and forgot that I only had one DVI to VGA converter so I was only able to test one. Since I left my Visualize card in there I also noticed that I wasn't able to use both at once which I had remembered hearing about before so that turns out to be true. Anyway the card works great in my J5600 with HP-UX 11.11 even though HP says it should only work in the J6000 series, hehe whatever. Anyway doesn't really do much for me right now so I took it out and stuck in the old Visualize again.

My fingers feel dry right now :( I hate that feeling, augh it's terrible.

I've been liking my MH-307 very much as well, I think the trem on it makes the strings feel tighter which is nice for the low strings. The blackout bridge sound a lot better in the bridge than the 707 did and it sounds a lot nicer than the Blackjack ATX.

EMG and Blackout fun!

I received the 2nd 707 like I said but instead of putting them both in the MH-307 I decided to do a little split-up fun.  I put the blackout bridge from my Schecter ATX's neck position and stuck it in the bridge of the MH-307 and then wired in the 707s into the neck of both guitars.  How exciting.

I also successfully killed off all the sodas in my house :( how unfortunate (I am a soda addict)

Indy-mation 3

I received the parts from mr Indy and yet the Indy is still not cooperating with the irix install! It's very mean to me :( I think I will go ahead and install linux on it or something, I've not used any of the BSDs much so that might be a consideration too as a learning box. The debian installer could never make my network adapter work on it anyway, not sure why...*shrug*

I received the MH-307 and aside from the terrible buckle scratches on the back and some minor chips it's almost in brand-new condition. That thing is clean, seriously. The frets were a mess so I cleaned those off when I installed the 707 in the bridge. After doing that I sold the HZs so I actually had to go back and remove the neck pickup, I have another 707 coming from a friend so I'll have 2 707s in it soon enough. Killer axe for what will be about 430 dollars after receiving my Live Cashback in a good while from now...argh.

Anyway microsoft took the controllers off of their club live site so I haven't been able to order any more of those :( oh well.

Indy-mation 2

I talked with the guy I bought the Indy from and he's sending me guts from another system to see if that fixes the Irix install problem.  I tried loading it off the DVD-ROM I got and it's a no go, so hopefully this new equipment works.

I picked up an original SCSI DVD-RAM but I need a terminator for it, my HP machines seem to not like it without a terminator although my Octane2 seemed fine with it (although couldn't access it, probably the filesystem).

On another note, I got an ESP MH-307 on ebay! ^O^ it should be awesome, I picked up an EMG 707 at guitar center for it as well :D  I took out the pickups in my ESP Maverick in preparation for the LWHMET's arrival, guy finally got the things sent out to me, geez.  So this upcoming week should be pretty exciting.
