Our daytime temp is topping out at about 33 deg celcius.

You running Linux? I've never needed to mount a boot volume on Micro-freakin-soft.
Damn, how did you break your diabolo?
Weekend was awesome, spun fire on Friday until it started raining, spent the rest of the night cuddeling in the chill room.
How was your weekend?

nope, am running xp. i screwed up the boot volume (or something) trying to put a firewire card in. wasnt to hard to fix, i was just lazy
i sped it up for two minutes, without thinking, so it was spinning *really* fast, then dropped it. the torque cracked it, then spinning it again later, snapped off a huge chunk. i tried gaffa taping it back, but it wasnt smooth enough, next shall try electrical tape.
mmmm, chill room could go quite nicely quite now..
had a good weekend. had a gathering of people at a friends house on friday night. me and a mate were dancing to trance by ourselves til about 1 ish. saturday i saw the same friend, went to the city. sunday i did very little

Glad you got it fixed. I fix Windows for a living. Maybe that's why I don't like Microsoft that much.
How about using clear epoxy to fix your diabolo? I swear by that stuff, if gaffa tape can't fix it I'll use clear epoxy, just try not to get it on your fingers, it's a b!tch to wash off.
I dance to trance in the traffic, people kinda look at me funny.

It does keep me busy, and if it wasn't for windows, I'd spend even more time on HoP.
Dancing around randomly is fun!!

I hear you Dave!!
As for where to get music. I don't know, because you need the artist permission to use it in a CoL video, right?
