2809.0. "A temporary good bye" by SUBSYS::GODIN (My other preamp is a TriAxis.) Fri Sep 17 1993 15:46

Welp, it looks like the end of an era (error ?) is in sight.

I've been a temp here at DEC for what appears to be a little too long, so my 
contract won't be renewed this time around. (The ultimate cure for GTS ??)

While I was here, I've enjoyed immensely noting & being noted in this 
conference, & I hope that I've provided some information &/or entertainment 
for those who've taken the time to read my comments.

In addition to making new friends, I've also learned a lot myself about 
Guitars, amps, accessories, & even playing from these notes. 

I'd like to thank the co-moderators, Jeff Cooper, & Greg House for helping to 
maintain the conference. I'm also certainly thankful for timely responses to 
specific questions and stimulating in depth discussions supplied by such 
fellow noters as Brian Rost, Neal Orsi, Dave Blickstein, 
B{}{}M (Mike ?) Reaume, Steve DAndrea, Mark Jacques, Dave Hickernell, 
Mike Heiser, Larry Vigneault, Dave Dagg, Geoff Muller, Ron Burati, 
Mike Capozzo, Alan Starr, Edd Cote, Rick Calcagni, Len Fehskens, 
Charlie Farren, Joe Jasniewski, Bill Buckley, Bob Dubois, & Jim Rosenkranz.

I'm looking to meeting many of you at the DEC-Jam '93 & catching some of these 
legendary chops live.

For future reference (especially if it's for another contract), I may be 
reached at:

     Paul Godin
     P.O. Box # 272
     Bedford, MA 01730

My E-mail node SUBSYS::GODIN should remain active for a while longer, but I 
expect that Friday, Sept 24th will be my last day here.

Bye,
Paul

2809.2	and don't sell that SDE3000!	FRETZ::HEISER	AWANA	`Fri Sep 17 1993 22:19`	1
	Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your participation.
2809.3		UNYEM::REAUME	Analog Audio - Digital Control	`Sat Sep 18 1993 09:21`	6
	Good Luck in LAD land (life after Digital). I have some stuff heading your way in the mail. Keep jamming! -B{}{}M- (John, not Mike)
2809.4		GOES11::HOUSE	What planet are you from?	`Mon Sep 20 1993 09:03`	6
	Goodbye Paul, I wish you well. Perhaps another contract will land you with Digital again sometime. You know where to find us if it does... I also enjoyed your notes, they incited some interesting discussions! Greg
2809.5	another sparkplug gone...	RICKS::CALCAGNI	Will work for '59 Les Paul	`Mon Sep 20 1993 09:23`	7
	I echo the previous comments; I always new something interesting was going to follow when I saw your name on the header (and not that I always agreed with you either; so much the better!). Hope you make it back in here sometime; you'll be missed. /rick
2809.6	So long and thanks for all the fish...	NWACES::HICKERNELL	Victim of hype abuse	`Mon Sep 20 1993 14:21`	4
	Best of luck, Paul; I always enjoyed your notes. Find me at DECjam and say hi. And thanks for spelling my name right! %^) Dave
2809.7		MSE1::MULLER		`Mon Sep 20 1993 14:33`	3
	Enjoyed noting with you - best of luck! Geoff
2809.8	Status = quo	SUBSYS::GODIN	My other preamp is a TriAxis.	`Mon Sep 20 1993 14:53`	35
	Now that I've been relegated to a VT terminal only, I can't do all that cool stuff like check for misspelled names, etc. I'm still trying to stir up enough interest in a couple of different departments to get me a new contract or (heaven forbid) a real job, but so far "...if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all..." I'm going to try to extract some of the more interesting notes before leaving so that I'll have something to read on my vacation. The "lesson-a-week" looks potentially interesting. I did manage to acquire one of those "ugly" headless tiny Steiny clones & I actually like the thing. Since I've been here way beyond my wildest expectations, I can hardly complain about the so called "DEC culture" (unless it's that fuzzy stuff growing in my coffee cup). It's a little annoying, however, to be on a temporary contract when there's people with 10+ years here getting TFSO'd. It's even more annoying that I have to postpone my GTS aspirations of getting a Boogie TriAxis 'til I have an income again. It's been an enlightening experience browsing these notes. A year ago, not only did I not even know how to find a notes conference, but I didn't even know what GTS was ! I'm really looking forward to the DEC Jam event even though I'm not playing in it. Based on the underground rumors, some of those guys (you guys) can pick some fine stuff. I'll let you know if they decide to keep me after all. Paul BTW, if I left your name out of my .0 list or misspelled it, don't feel excluded. I've been up to my thyroid in trying to find a new contract around here.

	> Now that I've been relegated to a VT terminal only, I can't do all that > cool stuff like check for misspelled names, etc. Actually, you can. I do it all the time. My workstation's slow and I don't like the editor the Xwin version gives you, so I always use the character cell terminal interface to notes. Use TPU as your editor and type the Do key followed by the command SPELL to spell check your note. Greg
2809.10	Will edit for food.	SUBSYS::GODIN	My other preamp is a TriAxis.	`Tue Sep 21 1993 06:59`	8
	Thanks Greg. I always wondered what that "Do" key was for. I use TPU in NOTES & EDT for everything else. The real limitation is that I can't suspend everything & open another window, plus the terminal is sometimes painfully slow. Also, since I rarely have to do fancy stuff with TPU, what I don't know about TPU could fill a book (the TPU manual). Maybe I'll read that on my vacation too ;-) Paul
2809.11	be good.....	NAVY5::SDANDREA	IfoughtTheLawn&TheLawnWon	`Tue Sep 21 1993 09:52`	7
	Hey Paul! Good luck my friend and stay cool, rock on and all that other mushy stuff! Enjoyed yer perspectives, opinions, etc. Here's to your speedy return to work! Later gater, dawg
2809.12	Bon voyage	GIDDAY::KNIGHTP	get me a gin and pentatonic	`Tue Sep 21 1993 17:19`	6
	It's a shame to see people go, so many have gone over the last couple of years. I hope you do well in whatever you choose, and with some luck we will see you in here again real soon p.k
