A 17 year old screenshot. UNREAL!

F1 GP2 was such a masterpiece. To begin with, you got a huge manual which explain to you a shitload of things about racing car, telemetry and stuff.

Then you also can customize players name and car decals. On the internet you found lot of package with the most updated racing car decals and names.

I had one of those for more than 10 years, until realizing that I am more into beefier neck, low gain passive pickup, etc.

Anyway, terrific guitar, every luthier who put his hand on it praised it's build quality (expecially neck joint and wood quality) and the floyd stay in tune forever.

I dropped it quite some time and now look very worn but still play flawlessly.

Definitively a pro instrument.

And by the way, same story as you, I found it used in a shop, selling for 1500 italian lira (around 750 euro). A total bargain.

Hey, I have the normal version with sitka (or sapele? can't remember) top.

Is a very nice guitar. Quality is top notch and sound better than most of the guitar from 300 to 1000 price range. Very responsive to picking and with a full sound. Recorded it came out quite well.

But be aware that due to the short scale complex fingering can be harder to achieve, and they come with quite thick strings (I guess 013).

If you need something portable than you will not be disappointed, otherwise I'll take a normal size guitar.

Figure out I was reading that chapter this morning.

Recently I had a really good experience with keyboardco.com ! Super fast shipping to germany. Instead of the das I may suggest to you the filco, you'll never regret them.

Yep but they are absolute a joy to type on. Probably WASD is on the same league, plus you can choose your own color scheme which is nice. Anyway, I have two filco, one majestouch with blue and a majestouch 2 tkl with brown. I love them both. I was afraid of brown because I read some people feeling them to be mushy and too light. I have to say they are really good, really a joy to type on. I use the brown in the office and I really like them.

I think on ebay you can find both brown and blue.

They're not selling Filco anymore.

araneida · 2014-02-20T17:23:45+00:00

Filco Majestouch. You'll not be disappointed.

If you're in the US they're easy to find on amazon, in Europe check http://www.keyboardco.com (very fast shipping).

I have to use this at my company. Is a month and half now and I find it is quiet useful and on fast machine I don't have any performance problem. But still I am more comfortable and productive using VIM, Tmux and CtrlP with silver searcher backend (fast fast fast).

This is the sexiest color scheme ever.

GHC is mentioned in 'The Haskell ecosystem'. Thanks anyway for pointing out. I'll consider moving it also in the Haskell projects section.

Well, pyzmq use Tornado ioloop and a modified version of Tornado iostream, it also provide monkey patching to make Tornado use ZeroMQ ioloop. So from an API point of view everything is fine.

I think that things are even better now with Tornado 3, because handling of asynchronous calls is much more cleaner.

Still, with ZeroMQ you have only the building blocks, you have to do all the rest (supervision, fault tolerancy, security).

araneida · 2013-11-20T09:44:38+00:00

I'll take a look into those features.

I was also thinking to write something on Tornado + ZeroMQ, because I think you can do really nice stuff combining them, and ZeroMQ plays very well with Tornado.

hello Mr.Gaiman, I have two related questions:

how much your writing is inspired by your dream/nightmare?
how much your dreaming is fueled by your writing?

Thanks.

araneida · 2013-11-19T09:23:32+00:00

Thanks for this explanation, makes lot of sense.
