Re: DIY: How to Repair a Wet Pedal

I only buy pedals with a wet / dry knob. When it gets wet, I just turn the knob the other way.

Re: Quick Hit: TC Electronic AEON

I was thinking of that myself, the string spacing on my bass makes it a little too awkward. I think there is also a Bass VI in my future, also.

I like it. I just have to mention, though, that some practice will be necessary to get into that sweet spot every time. I usually use a light hammer-on, or pluck an open string, with my fretting hand to start the first note, then adjust accordingly, and also that I need to press down a bit when the note is higher up the fretboard, but that might have more to do with my high action. So I am going to have to practice my technique a bit before this tool gets it's debut playing in front of anyone else.

For the bass, the challenge lies in the string spacing, and on my bass it's too wide for the aeon to rest on the neighboring strings. I can get mine to vibrate the string, but I need to keep it just so, and pay attention to holding it place.

Re: Sass Frameworks: Compass or Bourbon?

AdamG511 — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 22:28:19 -0000

okay I am totally confused here.. AFIK, Bourbon was always just an extension of SASS, Compass is a ruby compiler of my SCSS, and I can include bourbon, neat, zen-grids, or whatever, Compass --pre does play with the latest Sass from my testing, Oh! and by the way, https://github.com/ai/autop... is very sexy as opposed to the old compass functions

Re: Are QR Codes Just A Fad? [Opinion]

AdamG511 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:10:07 -0000

I was responsible once for getting data into those retail systems. Weight, pack size, dimensions. these things would have saved myself a lot of work if they were stored within a QR code. To you it may be a few lines of textual data, To the real world, a week of filling out forms to get those items into the retailer's system,

I actually do see the real world possibility of QR replacing the UPC / EAN bar code. Both consumer, and retailer would be able to use the same tag in the way that suits them. the retailer would benefit all the way through the supply chain, and the consumer would be able to garner information at the Point Of Purchase (the shelf) all in one tag.

I mention RFID as NFC is based on the same technology. I also mention UPC bar codes. The point being that these older siblings of NFC and QR did take some time for mainstream adoption.

Re: Are QR Codes Just A Fad? [Opinion]

I remember the first time I encountered a QR code. It was on a shipping label, people didn't even have cameras or color screens on their dumb phones yet. QR will survive whether your pocket facebook updater uses them or not. so no, it's not a "fad"
You say it's not technically groundbreaking. You are right, but neither was the UPC bar code when it was finally adopted. Now go to a retail store and try to find something without a bar code. NFC is nothing new either. RFID has been around forever. and we used to be able to "bump" our palm pilots to trade information.
None of these things are new or faddish unless you narrow the scope to fickle app users. Will QR last in the smartphone world? Maybe, if the consumer finds a perceivable benefit and takes to it, and developers are able to integrate it more seamlessly, or combine it's use to create efficiencies.

you assume too much. I am far too familiar with bad neighborhoods. However, maybe I am not browsing the "right" part of the internet. Don't I already have channels for my clandestine efforts, though?
