MSN messenger 7.0 has given me inspiration to plug my microphone in through my DJ mixer into the computer. Dick Smith sold me the $16 cable about 3 weeks ago and last night I had my first real voice chat. My DJ friend in Israel was the one who told me to upgrade messenger, and when I hooked up my mic and heard my voice, I just had to get him to hook one up as well. This combined with webcam gave us a virtual conversation - or a video conference. The best part was this was all from the comfort of my own home! The novelty of hearing each others voice again lasted about 2 minutes. Then it was down to business of downloading the freshest funky house music from his computer onto mine via soulseek fileshare. Overnight I downloaded 20 songs off Shlomi and now they pelt out through my newly connected amp and speakers. I am constantly amazed how far technology has come in the last few years. I can't wait to start producing my own remixes on Protools software - whenever I find the time to get it. Shlomi has made his own music and I am going to upload a CD I made of my own mixed tunes (vynal), to send to him. This CD is one I made last week in preparation for a 40th birthday party that I DJ'd at on the weekend (23 April) at the Marriot on the Gold Coast (see pic).

Everything is so exciting. Giving up my day job was the best thing I ever did. Yeehhaaaar.
