Been playing a good load of music these days, meaning I've been using a plastic thumb-pick and metal fingerpicks. The Dunlops are fine and all, but sometimes I don't think I can hit the strings at the right angle or get my speed up like I can with no picks. Problem there is the lack of volume...

My screen on my 2007 MacBook Pro 15" is dead. Well, the LCD works, but there's no light - people tell me it's either the bulb is gone or the inverter, both or the whole screen assembly will have to be replaced. I've got prices from €190 to €707. I've gone to Mactivate, CompuB and Bondigroup.ie...

I'm buying a second guitar to bring with me on my travels, something decent to I can do some recording, something that won't fall apart and piss me off. At this point, I'm between the Yamaha FG720S and Tanglewood TW CSG - both solid-top dreadnoughts. They both sound lovely, a balanced and...

Right now, when recording with Logic, I write directly to an external Western Digital MyBook Pro via Firewire 800. Just wondering if it's rediculous to do the same with a mini external hard drive like a WD Passport external drive connecting via USB 2.0?

Form 11E is like reading some far-flung dialect of the saucer people. Is there a kindly stranger out there, or anyone know of one, who can help fill in a self-employed tax form for someone whose tax liability is likely to be less than the cost of a tasty dinner?

Hi there, I need to get a few photos printed (probably 8"x12") and mounted, ready to hang, (probably on MDF) pretty quickly. But I haven't a clue about this or where to go in Dublin to get it done. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone know any reliable websites to book apartments or cheap-enough, central places to stay in San Sebastian? I found a decent-looking place on www.iberorent.es, but this talk of a €300 damages deposit sounds a bit dodge. Maybe not, I don't know. Anyone have any ideas?

Over the last few months, I've been noticing weird stringy black flecks appearing in my eyeballs, darting around the place. Someone said to me today that they're 'floaters' and the internet says there isn't a cure. My left eye is much worse than the right, and I see these yokes most of the time...

Hear me now

The notes are all screwed up on my keyboard. Not all the accidentals are on the black keys. D is where C should be, and C is where A# should be. What gives?

http://www.thomann.de/ie/maudio_oxygen_61.htm I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro with a MIDI-in, and it looks like the cheaper versions are USB only. This worth getting, or are there better, similarly priced alternatives?

In my weekly 'something must be done'/back-to-stupid-work mood, there's been some scary shit in the Irish Times today about the state of rented accomodation in Ireland. Looks like the majority of rented accomodation in Ireland doesn't meet minimum standards - 78% of places in Dublin rented by...

I have to make a timesheet for work in Excel. Probably for the year, or at least so I can just add months as they go. It's to track irregular work hours, overtime, time in lieu etc. Anyone done this or are there good templates/tutorials out there? Haven't found much out there.

This yoke's awesome. The only book I have, and might ever need. Loadza great Spanish recipes. But... is there an equivalent for French cooking?

Anyone got one? I'm roasting a shoulder now, and there's some mad Raymond Blanc recipe involving chocolate. But... anyone got one thats awesome and easy? I couldn't believe it: €6.75 for a shoulder in FX Buckley. Cheaper than lamb. Also is haunch of venison and fillet mad expensive?

I just got one of these new Nanos, and the fucker won't let me transfer MP3s to other computers. Is there any way around this? A crack, or something?

I'm thinking of buying stuff soon so I can record/make moozik on my computer. Nothing too fancy right now, just enough to get me started. My computer is a MacBook Pro, and I'd be looking for a couple of mics (dynamic and condenser, I suppose), some kind of way of getting the music into my...

Says so here.

I'm having some trouble finding accomodation in Barcelona. I'm there for three nights, and would prefer to stay in Grácia, or somewhere similar (not Ramblas, Barrio Gotico kind of places). Haven't found anything on this forum yet. Anyone? I'm leaving on Sunday!
