computers are evil, really
usually I get along nicely with them
and I never had any serious problems on gigs with my setup
few small things always happen, but it’s normal I think
so I was a happy nerd dj

and then I went to the gig on last Friday
beside of DJing and have fun
my secret mission was to test my new soundcard and headphones
the studio conditions and the club conditions are not the same
I needed the loud dark dirty smokey club atmosphere to make up my mind

I’ve plugged my gadgets together
and I’ve seen something what I never seen before
my controller fucked up and crashed the whole system
the result?
disabled audio, missing drivers, freezed Windows crashed laptop
dunno exactly what happened and why
dunno exactly how I’ve fixed it
but after 4 hours (!!) of reinstalling, tweaking and remapping it worked again
the party was kool BTW
the new soundcard and the new headphones are GREAT

but I don’t wanna talk about my controller ;)

last nite I’ve checked and tested everything and it works well
like nothing happened, hmmmm

there are more results of this ‘surprise’
- after two years one problem is OK
- now I have a reason to get a new controller
- the computers are all evil and USB comes straight from hell
