super duper

So last week I was in what most would call a predicament. After I was all hyped up on the mac mini I got, I just realized how much I didnt like the interface. It is wierd. The mouse moves funky and when I exit the terminal, the window doesnt close. I dont know, I just find these things to impead my computing experience. I was thinking its time to sell this thing….I have debts to pay off and as honestly, I can only use one computer at a time.
Then a couple of things happened. First of all, the linux box is gone. Wasnt preparing for that one. I just got the wireless card working and was ready to begin configuring the best gentoo system ever. I tell you what, you tried to be nice and …. anyway. So then I read this article about how you can use your mac mini as a pre-production studio with a $40 piece of hardware. I got to thinking about how I dont play my guitar that much anymore and how fun it was to be in a band. So, I took the mini downstairs, made a purchase from amazon, set up a workspace, and now I am making music.
At this point I have only played with it a couple of time. I recorded one guitar part with GarageBand built-in modern rock guitar effect and it didnt sound too bad. I will update the progress, if I acheive any.
