; Hello World

I've spent all day, literally all day, copy and cataloguing hundreds of thousands of sound samples into various folders.
The most important of these are the drum loops.  Categorised into various BPM folders, I now have about 40 or 50 numerical folders, each with oodles of drum loops inside them.
TONS of the bloody things.
AL should hopefully be starting to sprinkle these into forthcoming choons..  ..Or today's been a complete waste of time!

I'm still not 100% sure how I'm going to grab+use them from the NAS drive onto the iPad, though.  Maybe I need to copy them all over onto there, first..?
Not sure, if I'm honest.

..   I might end up *gasp*  NOT using KORG Gadget?!!   Surely not..
Hmmm..

I'll have to play it by ear.

Final results
3,245 drumloops
2.81Gb

; Pet Pics
Rockford posted pics of his cats, Nibbs and Mittens, and Jay named the thread "Pet Pics" in the hopes that everybody else would join in with pics of their own pets..  But nobody did :(
Have a pet of your own?
Post a pic or two.

Sonic Team are making some kind of Open-World-esque Sonic game.

; Fat Battery
Pakz's PSP's had a big xmas, full of biscuits, cake and mince pies.
Has your device got a fat battery?
Is it something to be worried about, or is being fat just something that batteries do?
Let us know, so Pakz doesn't have to worry about his PSP exploding, or something.
