  • XLR-to-TRS wiring

    XLR Pin 3 = TRS Ring (black)

  • So, I guess I’m on a sort-of hiatus.

    I realize I haven’t written much on here lately, and much of my time has been taken up by, in turns, coming to grips with the fact we have to move (our landlords decided they want to move back into the house we were renting), finding a place to move to, cleaning, sorting and purging items from our current domicile, and preparing to move.

    I am still posting to my tumblog fairly regularly with links from the day’s reading, and even more often on Twitter, so check those out in the meantime if you want your daily dose of my craziness.
