I'm going to be keeping an eye on this one. I got halfway through Scienceguy8's arduinoboy but my Notabomb arrived so i have half finished arduino. Also, props on the altoids. Odd how altoids are so disgusting yet the tins are so useful!

Christ, I haven't heard from her in probably over a year, the last time I would have seen her would have been the second Alliance gig or just wandering Newcastle, thought she just dropped out of the game.
Wasn't she in Suzi: Won for a bit? they're of friends of a friend of mine... thought she'd be going from strength to strength by now.

Live in Cramlington/Newcastle in the North East UK, as far as it goes its fairly rubbish, high unemployment, uninteresting music scene and lack of any chip gigs, its fairly cheap to live up here though, and the drinks are dirt cheap.
Also Syphus, Spoonbender and Cerebral Scars live here, and if we're sneaky we could probably get Firebrand Boy from across the border to Scotland if we just bundle him in the back of a van.
let's not forget Wroooaar / Venix

Re: What's your non-chip musical background? (92 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I learned to play a trumpet in junior school. I wanted to play trombone but the store was out of stock that day.
In high school i learned guitar and hated it but kept figuring i'd get used to it... of course i didn't so in 2005 i found out about this stuff.

LONDON, UK reporting...
As you can imagine there are usually quite a few chip events in the area, including Sabrepulse's one which is monthly. The people here are quite friendly before drinking hours start... especially here in Camden. The rest of the music scene here is amazing, too hard to keep track of it all to be honest. The rent is expensive (i used to be in Zone 1, hemorrhaging £700 a month) and the beers are expensive too 
BLACKPOOL is where i went to uni and is a really fun/ friendly place to live. There were quite a few 8bit musicians too, such as Flanboy and Spacecadet. Beer was cheap as water and the air was pretty fresh. Plus Flanboy used to organise stuff like the 8bitball at Jenx
also I used to live in the Isle Of Man (and visit family there regularly) where the music scene is dire. Heavy on tribute and folk bands, I don't think a single chip gig has been put on there ever! I'd be too scared to suggest it too. but we do have lots of FIBRE GLASS COWS!!! 
I might move to Vancouver in a few years time, looks nice there....

I did, actually! DIY development can be fun, but gets tedious. Shame all my chemicals went bad. I want to try C-41, but the temperature control is intimidating. Have you any experience with this?
unfortunately only had one class on the subject, and it wasn't a practical! but i love the idea of using 35mm in a holga. did you use the special back conversion kit? i am currently experimenting using a plastic lomo lens on a nikon f80... quite excited about the results.

Your experience really shows.
What post processing do you do?
thanks, means a lot.
basically, at the time the raw file would go through a program like capture 1, then i did a little contrast, colour balancing, hue/sat, sharpen/grain etc... the basics. however that was before i trained as a retoucher! which i am doing now (lol) at work. Oh and blatently, the fox and squirrel is a comp (shh)
