I already had the keyboard chart for many, many years, but want to get the matching guitar chart). I like these types of charts since they are both decorative and functional...<br /><br />I will also include a few our my band's gig posters to set the mood as well...<br /><br />

'''Status (as of June 2010):'''
* Computer system setup is completed.<br /><br />
* Have '''3 monitor system using X-windows'''. This is very useful to have various applications launch in different windows to make it easier to use.<br /><br />
* Have written a partially completed shell script which is run upon system startup to automatically start Jack server, launch music applications, and automatically make patch connections to jack. The current applications that I use are: '''Jack''', '''Qsynth''' (Sound Bank, including grand piano), '''Hydrogen''' (Drum Machine), '''Bristol Organ''' (Hammond B3, Continental Vox (i.e. Doors), and Rhodes Piano), '''Ardour DAW''' (Digial Audio Workstation).<br /><br />Here is a link to my partially completed shell script: [ [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~murray.saul/session.bash.txt txt] ]<br /><br />[[Image:update4.png|thumb|350px|right ]]
* After Completion of Basement, fixtures for studio will be built, and final setup of Studio in new location.<br /><br />
* Obtained flexible keyboard and mouse stand.
