My UIB claim went through. It's higher than I expected it to be. The unemployment will be amazing to have while I work on weaseling my way into a job. So much stress off of my shoulders.

How does unemployment work for you ?

In the UK - it used to be - report to a job centre fortnightly and show what you've done to look for work. And you get a fortnightly payment of around £150 depending on your age.

They just changed it to weekly which is a real drag.

You get an amount based off of your average earnings over the course of the last... 18? months (maxing out at $450/wk paid biweekly in CA). You have to show proof that you are looking for work, either weekly or monthly. Not sure. In my case, I will be working on call with my old old job, so I believe I have to show proof of my earnings every week, and they adjust my payment based on that (to a point). I hope to be back working there within the next month or so.

Looks like my company did a round of layoffs last night. I think they are shedding fat before IPOing next year. Company wide meetings this afternoon. Scared the crap out of me hearing the rumor at the end of the day and then getting a phone call from my boss's boss last night, but that was just to say my group and I are all safe. Looks like a guy I work with in Denver got the ax though. Really sucks.

Had something like that happen at my last company. As much as it sucks for them, I was relieved when I came into work to see a dozen contractor's cubes cleared out. All regular people were safe.

Nice, Coz!!

Morning.

Me and the Missus are heading to the Shakespeare festival tomorrow morning to catch a production of Julius Caesar. It's been years since I've seen it and I'm pretty stoked.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #6872 on:** October 14, 2016, 08:56:27 AM »

That's awesome. I would love to see some Shakespeare.

Morning, all.

Cool ! I thought it was an epiphone at first.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #6874 on:** October 14, 2016, 09:08:07 AM »

Thanks, guys. Yeah, it's a Gibson. 1994.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #6875 on:** October 14, 2016, 09:09:04 AM »

Not that there's anything wrong with Epiphone !

Their customs are great !

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #6876 on:** October 14, 2016, 09:17:20 AM »

My stepson has an Epi Les Paul. Not a bad guitar at all. Has zebra humbuckers in it, which look very cool.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #6877 on:** October 14, 2016, 09:24:22 AM »

Made from actual zebra?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #6878 on:** October 14, 2016, 09:27:31 AM »

Well, yeah. Like this:

I have zebras in my SG. Very nice indeed. I kinda wanna put some in my LP too because they look sexy AF

I wonder if you can get Gibson Les Paul Custom pickups in zebras. If you can that might be an idea. Make my LP a l'il hotter.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #6881 on:** October 14, 2016, 12:52:42 PM »

That's not Jr's Les Paul pictured, but his is a cherry sunburst like mine. Coil tapped knobs also. I believe he got it used at Guitar Center.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #6882 on:** October 14, 2016, 01:00:33 PM »

V v v v nice indeed.

My Lester is a Desert Burst 2011 Trad.

I still want to replace my 2010 Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Silverburst coz I miss it.

I was thinking of the Epiphone Brent Hinds Silverburst V

The Summit main sessions kicked off 17 minutes ago, as I'm following the hashtag on Twitter until I leave for the weekend. I feel like this event has taken a few years off my life but I've pushed the last of my deliverables live and can now, hopefully, put this monstrosity behind me for a year. JFC

ReaperKK · « **Reply #6886 on:** October 14, 2016, 06:57:14 PM »

Great solo and beautiful guitar Coz. The Les never felt comfortable in my hands. I don't know what it is but I just never liked the feel or weight of the guitar (not knocking it, just not for me). I had a similar reaction when I played on a signature JP ernie ball. All I ever wanted when I was young was a signature JP EB guitar and my buddy got one, I played it and immediately disliked it.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #6887 on:** October 14, 2016, 07:04:40 PM »

Thanks! It took a while to get used to the guitar, but I love it. Heavy as hell, too.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #6888 on:** October 14, 2016, 07:40:30 PM »

I think that's what threw me off the most was the weight, heavy fucking thing

Prog Snob · « **Reply #6889 on:** October 14, 2016, 07:48:43 PM »

Yes. I think they're made from oak.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #6890 on:** October 14, 2016, 07:49:09 PM »

How is it going Prog?

Prog Snob · « **Reply #6891 on:** October 14, 2016, 08:07:40 PM »

I bought a training program through Udemy, so I'm going through the videos. You should check that site out. Lots of great training videos. What are you up to?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #6892 on:** October 14, 2016, 08:10:47 PM »

I've used Udemy before, it's an awesome site, that and coursera.

I'm just drinking rum and cokes and hanging out, nothing much going on.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #6893 on:** October 14, 2016, 08:14:53 PM »

Rum and coke sounds good. Not so much Coke though. I'll just drink the rum straight.

I've never used Coursera before. The one thing I realized with Udemy is that a lot of the videos are already on YouTube. I realized the one I purchased is complete on YouTube, all nine hours or so. Check there first before buying it. Oh, and I don't know if I told you but there is a CCNA with GNS3 video training course. That might come in handy for you.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #6894 on:** October 14, 2016, 08:32:51 PM »

I'll check it out, test is coming soon.
