It's all done on FL studio with no external hardware synths and instruments. Totally in the box with studio headphones Only external hardware I use sometimes is the Korg Mini 25 midi keyboard to figure out some chords and stuff. Because I'm tone deaf and know very basic music theory

FUNK IT! Ok sorry for the cheap clickbait, but this is how I'm killing time during the lock down, and since there isn't much going on here any ways. Thought why not share it, fresh off the press! Enjoy. Use headphones or decent speakers for maximum funkness! Don't forget to like, share, subscribe you know the usual BS

15 years away from production - i.e it's just pie in the sky which will never see the light of day. And in 15 years many others and probably better will come along

P.S : Mrs said you can have the ink refilled now for 35 dhs through these juggard office supply and stationary shops

Oh stupid me! I've had this exact printer in my house for the last 3 weeks and didn't even notice it. The Epson L3150 the Mrs brought this over from her office when they started working from home. They had this in her office for about a year now with daily office use this is the level in the ink tanks now

Not much you can really use for this kind of Sandy desert. Which would actually be a good idea to shoot a series of video tutorials about driving in the desert. Professionally shot and edited. When things get back to normal ofcourse

I'll probably fly a few flights myself on my PC ( you need one of those for a proper flight sim ) Good stuff mate. Last console I had was also the PS2 but I only ever played GT or Tekken on it. Recently I discovered how to play PS2 games on my PC via a PS2 emulator so I'm good

I hear ya man. I know the airline industry is one of the hit hardest in this situation along with other tourist and travel related industries. All my Safari buds also have been sitting at home for almost a month now. Future is unpredictable and life as we know it is on hold. But hang in there and keep your spirits up. Look at it as a time to stop from ones busy life and smell the flowers. Learn a new skill you've always wanted to but never had the time. Start or finish DIY projects. Fly a few virtual long hail flights Me personally have gotten back to my music production after 2 years. Nothing kills time better than sitting in front of your computer and jammin' while making some tunes for hours! Anyways as long as you have your health and family. It's not that bad. A lot of people right now are doing a lot worse and would kill to be in the position we are right now. Cheers

Thanks, let me try the boot cd, first I'll have to check if any of the CD drives on any of my machines are still working. I can't even remember the last time I used those! lol

Ok Since the Mrs is working from home we physically brought her desktop home as the office is also closed and entire company is working from home. Problem is it's some old ass HP which doesn't even have wifi but has a USB WiFi card which worked at the office but won't connect to the home Network. And it's not a number of connected devices issue. Ive watched many YouTube videos on trying to fix this issue but the problem is Everytime I try something like updating the driver or anything there is an admin password and the guy who did this is long gone so nobody in the office knows the password either So anybody know how to hack the admin password on Win 7 professional? I've been fighting with this for over week now with no luck so please don't link me any YouTube videos or anything. Tried them all.always at the last step it stops and asks for the password. Just to clarify, Mrs can log on with her ID and password and use the computer just can't connect to wifi. It connects to the router but say no internet access. Any help? Just need to connect to the internet. Tried using my other two laptops as hotspots no luck, phones as hotspots no luck.

Ah! Ok thanks

Just in, all permits cancelled as of today. Source once again the all so flaky gulfnews. Anyways during the day permits were not needed. First day there was a bit of confusion but cleared up pretty soon. But one still should avoid going out and only when need be. https://gulfnews.com/uae/covid-19-precaution-uae-ministry-suspends-all-night-permits-1.1585678417810?fbclid=IwAR1y5PycptA8Mfk0XsAqxE9XkZf08eS0Sj7oS2G-KZV7cUFLkQlnp6H3cCc

Malls are still open!?!?!

Jeez man you and your diplomatic answers! Like I said once before you should have been a politician! Well the world is moving forward, whether you like it or not. You can choose to move with it or be left behind. But remember those who don't evolve become extinct!

And what do you think the ECU and PCM run on steam! Lol And that's just for the dead bare bone stock version you go up a notch and electric gizmos increase expotetionally. And stop being such a ludite. Embrace the future. If everybody felt the same way and listened to such. We would still be riding on wooden wheels and coal fired engines!

Feel the city breaking and everybody shakin' I'm stayin inside, stayin inside ! https://www.facebook.com/raed.haddad.357/videos/10158315694846457/

Petrol getting cheaper and no where to go! Oh the irony!

Which cars you are talking about you can get now without any electronics?

🤮

You can disagree as much as you want. Not holding my breath

That's a lie! 25 year old Jeeps is a myth They've all turned to rust by now

Oh good thing I stopped I was actually driving a Corona at the begining of 2019!

I was helping my friend renovate his house and it was a long drawn out month long process. Everything from the roof to the walls in the 7 bedroom Villa. His elder brother as a thank you took all us for a desert Safari since he would freelance as a guide on the weekend. And that was pretty much it. I told myself this is what I want to do as well. To cut a long story short after years of trials and tribulations and help from another friend I managed to get my foot into that world. I didn't give up never for a second thought I will stop persuing this line of work. Got ridiculed by friends and family as to what stupid line of work I'm trying to get into 2 years I worked for free or very basic pay like 50-100dhs per trip and started from the very bottom as helper then moving up to camp driver cum helper than mean driving as well as helping in loading and off loading the pickup. It was very very tough work but I enjoyed it througly which gained me a lot of respect later on as everybody had seen how I had struggled from the very bottom to the top and they knew I know every aspect of this field so one one could fuck me too. Made some great money and had the time of life because I was lucky the company I got attached too ( I say attached because I never officially joined them because that ways I getting paid freelance per trip money which was as high as 1200dhs per day to the lowest of 650 per day as opposed to a fix salary ) they got a lot of interesting projects like vehicle testings and events. I worked on projects from Toyota,Nissan, peugout, jeep, land rover, Mercedes, hummer, GM just to name a few. So most of my work was this rather than regular desert Safari you see and hear about. Did that mostly during summer and in between such projects and other events, which including a huge secret proper concert with huge stage, lights, pyro, screens fireworkd for Shaggy, UB40, lot of Bollywood stuff so on and so forth. But close to the economic downturn such things got less and less and I started to get bored with just the regular Safari day in and day out. Is when I quit. Then became a weekend warrior just like the rest of you. Then thought it would be a good idea to go out with more people so searching online I came across dubai4x4 one of the few off-road clubs at the time. Then emarat 4x4 which I stayed with till life decided otherwise and I stopped going all toghether. Now maybe when things take a change for the better might get myself another desert ride and start going out again. Maybe.

To be honest it's been pretty cool because I live in a gated 3 Villa compound. With only 3 families there. So us men gather in the forecourt in the evenings and chat the evening away. One of them is an old time Safari dude like me so we sit back with some tea and others with their drink and share tales of our exploits. I've actually been socializing more due to this than before! Since we all stuck at home and live in one isolated micro community if you will, so there is no risk of cross contamination or spread

My phone started to blare like an air raid siren and whole screen lit up with his msg. Took me off guard
