Got a reply from the "Label" mail.

I will contact some of my friends and confirm about this but right now it is one of two things:

1. I was at the right time at the right place
2. It's a scam

He says he is a talent scout for Sony. If it is 1, then I will be featured on several things in the near Future but have a feeling it is 2. There are better and brighter artists out there.

Will Email Jared (Dines) and see if he knows this guy and what he thinks.

Email to Jared sent and also had two Emails from the "Scout" in between. Will go along with the "scout's" thing until I hear from Jared.

I am treading in unfamiliar waters here so not really sure what to look out for. If it was in my country I would have made a few calls and gotten answers very quickly but now.........I pretty much need to play it by ear and walk on eggs.

Not a great day. I woke up in a different part of the house than I fell asleep in, and my glasses were gone. When I sleep walk/blackout, I can do strange things, put things in odd places. To find these glasses, I'd have to check literally everywhere: in every corner of every cabinet and closet, underneath everything, etc. I could have even taken them outside and tossed them in the garbage or the bushes. This old house is huge, and I don't have the energy for that, so I just ordered a new pair of glasses that should be here on Wednesday, but that's a few days with very restricted vision.

When I lose my glasses (Happens more often than you would think), I go to a pharmacy and get a pair of off-the-shelve reading glasses just so that I can continue on the PC.

Try telling your brain that it is actual letters and not dirty smear marks on the screen when you do not have your glasses is a fight I have not won with myself. Must admit that is usually the cleanest my screen is because I wipe it every 5 minutes to make sure it is not smear marks but words, LMAO

Wednesday is FAR for someone who needs glasses. Good luck with it. I would not make it that long without glasses.

Well, I ordered a pair of auto-focus glasses off of Amazon that should be sitting on my porch when I wake up in the morning. I'm not sure how much help they will be. I've never heard of auto-focusing glasses before.

Was LGR at the panel? I noticed a video of him preparing for the trip.

Yup, Clint was there! I saw those Shareware disks for sale, he also had his Woodgrain 486 and Megaluminum Monster on display. I thought about waiting in (very long) line to talk to him, but I figure the only thing I could say he's probably heard a thousand times, so why bother?

Yikes! You ever get a chain or something to loop around your neck?

I'm not sure that would be a barrier to my sleep-walking self. I'm thinking about getting a very small safe to put by the bed.

Maybe a pair of leg cuffs. Could also double as a new kink.

I only had about 8 hours sleep since Friday night ... I looked at the Sept Gaming thread earlier and wondered why we posting about Sept, thinking it wasn't 15th of Sept yet (for some of you, it might not be yet). I later worked out my mistake... it was trying to think.

Last sleep I had was about 3 hours last night, so I am sleeping... its the lying in the dark for 10 hours before I actually slept that annoys me. Forcing self to sleep doesn't work. Its not always caused by noises from outside - just often enough that will keep me awake that buying one of these is tempting... or would be if they were cheaper. Ozlo Sleepbuds - tbh I don't care about streaming my music to it, I just want something to block noise... if anything music would keep me awake.

I need to fix my sleeping pattern now instead of trying to fix it the weekend before I have to go out. Most days I don't have to wake up at a certain time, and sleep is easy... but as soon as I have to wake up at a certain time, and its way out of my normal pattern, it just doesn't work.

I have two weeks before i need to go out again, just need to try to change them now rather than wait until the end. Next appointment is actually earlier in the day which is easier, if only as If I am awake all night before, its less time I have to waste

Have you tried "white noise" or frequency therapy?

White Noise:
Actually, very simple reasoning about why White noise works for sleeping. The audio is constant repetitive and pretty much takes your concentration from "Whatever your brain decided to do for the night" and starts focusing on the repetitiveness of the noise.

Concentrating (Without knowing) on only 1 specific thing is usually the fastest way to switch off the brain. Old days they used to say "Count sheep" again it blocked out all the other things and your brain focused on 1 thought pattern.

Frequency therapy:
Sounds scary but is actually not. Scientists have found that certain frequencies "resonate" with certain parts of the body. If you do a You tube search on sleep frequencies, you will probably find 2million of them. Unfortunately, you will need to go through a lot of them to find that one that works for you.


I myself am an insomniac but that is because of work (Or my excuse). So do not know if I am a work-a-Holic or just cannot sleep, but my wife calls it my "Second breath". I will fall asleep in front of the TV for maybe 10 minutes in the early evening, wake up and then I am fully awake. Then can go through to 3 (sometimes 5) in the morning, get to bed and then internal clock wakes me up around 6. I am usually back in my "office" latest 9.

Frequency therapy did not work for me since I laid listening to the music with the frequency and tried to re-arrange it in my head to make it more likeable. White noise, I simply do not wake up. If it plays on a radio or something all night my internal clock goes on strike, and I wake up maybe 2 or 3pm with a whole day wasted.

I personally have not found a solution to my problem, but try those, maybe one solves yours.

Both of the earbuds I have seen recommended can play white noise, as well as all sorts of other things - as they are essentially wireless earbuds.
Soundcore Sleep A30
Bose make them as well, I expect the ANC is better but they cost double what those do...

rubber earplugs are a cheap alternative but I find they fall out and don't always make a difference.

Most days I can sleep unless I get in a rut where my body forgets it needs sleep. I am not in same league as Zed though. I just like to complain

Because of the width I display my browser window at, I get this when browsing the front page, and my brain sees PC Golf Association...

Alas, its not actually the case... but then I can't recall ever seeing anyone ask about a Golf game here, so maybe its a sign.
I used to like them but that was before realism crept into the scene and replaced easy controls with ones that require skill, and made the game less relaxing in general. Just like City builders. Golf is a great way to ruin a good walk, but virtual removes the moving aspect. Or should...

Amazon has failed me. I suspected they would. That's just how things work. So I have no cheap glasses to try today. Think I'm going to go to bed.
