I just need to share with you what Poke got me for Christmas. It’s the ideal gadget for someone who is both a musician AND a geek - Guitar Rig.
It’s just amazing! You plug the foot pedal into a USB port on your Mac and it’s like you’ve got every amp, speaker cabinet, microphone and effects pedal ever invented. I love it. I’ve spent many happy times with my Tele over the festive season pretending to be Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Chuck Berry. Without the drugs, of course. Or the groupies. Oh well. Can’t have everything, I suppose.

Happy New Year and all that stuff. I hope 2008 brings you everything you wish for. Unless it’s retribution against me.

Last night I was sitting on the settee with my girlfriend when I heard the most delightful ’sploippp’ sound. It was the sound of my new mobile phone committing hari-kari by diving into my mug of hot tea.
Bugger!
I tried to dry it out and revive it this morning to no avail. So I’m now using my girlfriend’s 3 year old hand-me-down. Has anyone got any tips on how to re-animate a wet phone?
