Yes, maybe so, as both you and Derek's birthdays are on Thursdays this year. In 
fact, two little Thursdays in a row, in this case.

Mine is on a Thursday next year, thanks to 2008 being a leap year. Andre
is lucky, and doesn't have to have a Thursday birthday until 2013. Hmm,
30 on a Thursday? That might be a bad day for the bin, indeed!
Well... assuming we're still around after 2012, of course.

Actually, it's not. It's the number of the "devil", not whatever you
wrote, more commonly referred to as simply "the beast". Speaking of
which, my grandma had a blah old machine running Windows ME for a long
time, and at one point, it had lots of spyware. Among the running processes was
something called 666.exe, calling itself USB service. I really don't
want the mark of the U S Beast, thanks, but no.

No, the proper thing, of course, is that no one will notice that the

The Talk2 List I am a bored person!

2007-06-06 Thread Patrick Perdue
Hi. This is a bored Borris, writing to you all from the tiny keyboard of my 
nokia e61. Why? Well, there are two reasons, really.

First of all, I need practice to make writing things a bit more efficiently on 
this tiny little thing that makes the keyboard on a Franklin language master 
look huge. It's slightly bad, for example, when it takes you almost a minute to 
find the question mark. For future reference, it's function p.

The other reason I'm doing this is very simple. It's more convenient to write 
messages at people from the bathroom using a PDA/phone, rather than being 
really obvious and dragging my laptop in there. And no, I really see no problem 
with bathroom computing! i find it rather interesting myself.

Having said all that, waisting a substancial amount of time in the process, I 
will do you all a favor, press send, and go away. Wouldn't you like that? Yeah, 
I rather thought you might!

Flush!

The Talk2 List someone has issues!

2007-06-13 Thread Patrick Perdue
On the Greensboro FreeCycle list, I just got the following message:

"We are looking for any unwanted rabbits and outside cage for our daughter."

My question to you all is this:
Why would anyone want to put their children in a cage? Well, there are,
of course, many reasons why one should want to pursue such an objective. 
However, displaying such irreverence for the
free will of others, especially your own children, in such a public
fashion, isn't really such a good idea in the long run, particularly if
you should want to retain custody of said children in the future.
And what, I ask, do rabbits have to do with locking one's offspring in a
cage outside, where bad things could potentially happen to the children
in question, as well as the potential tarnishing of the parent's
supposedly good reputation?

Please, help me understand this, folks! I feel naked, vulnerable, and down-right
uneducated, and I am simply thirsting for knowledge on this subject!

The Talk2 List FX Radio is back... with an attitude!

2007-06-17 Thread Patrick Perdue
Yes, folks, that's right. FX Radio has been dead for six months, but it's back, 
with an all-new machine, more sound effects (including additional breaky 
noises), and everything!

You may be asking yourself "What, exactly, is FX Radio, and why would I want to 
listen?"
To answer your questions, it's a rather strange concept that Derek and I came 
up with in the summer of 2005, when we were both rather bored.
Basically, it's the result of what happens when you load three instances of 
winamp equipped with crossfaders, then load a crap load of high quality sound 
effects libraries into each winamp, making sure, of course, that everything is 
perfectly randomized.
The sequence of events that can happen as a result of this are rather strange, 
and many interesting things can happen to
your mind as a result of listening to the odd combinations of things that occur.


Have you ever seen a bird driving a car under water, all the while being chased 
by a telephone? Or, perhaps, little kids
playing in underwater construction sites? How about babies with power tools, 
dogs driving trains, tanks plowing through restaurants, sheep making things 
blow up just for the fun of it, or what's currently playing, which happens to 
be a mocking bird with a machine gun shooting at a helicopter?
All these things can and have been known to happen on FX Radio, all sound 
effects, all the time, 24 hours a day!


To tune in, you will need a streaming media player compatible with AAC+ 
streaming, such as Winamp (5.1 or higher, except 5.22 which has a bug that 
breaks AAC streams), VLC Mediaplayer, or Foobar 2000 0.9 or higher.

If you have a compatible player, put in one of the following addresses:
shoutcast:
http://fx.pdaudio.net:80
icecast (less delay, may buffer more depending on your situation):
http://tbrn.net:/fx.aac

Note: If you are using the Thompson mp3 pro decoder for Winamp, the shoutcast 
stream will not work unless it is disabled. Really, if you're still using it, 
you're bad, since that format has been officially scrapped by it's developers!
The icecast feed will work, even with the Thompson mp3 decoder, however,
since the .aac extension will not be passed off to the mp3 pro decoder.

Also, since the shoutcast server is on port 80, this means you can listen to FX 
Radio behind any proxy server that only
allows access to http, such as universities and other institutions. Yes, a nice 
distraction during class might be good,
don't you think?
Why not freak out your friends, classmates or co-workers while you're at it? 
Maybe all of the above, or something worse?


Close your eyes, put on some headphones, tune in, and get ready for a very 
strange, and altogether different experience! 

Note: P&D Audio Productions is not responsible for any permanent psychological 
or neurological damage that may occur as a result of any individual who falls 
asleep with FX Radio on. No warranty is implied, expressed, congested, 
molested, suggested, conjugated, emulated, isolated
 infiltrated, confiscated, or any of that mess.
Basically, if bad things happen, we didn't do it!

It's back, and it's possibly worse than ever... Better? Well, it can't get much 
worse, I suppose, so we'll pretend it's better than it was, just out of 
interest.

P.S. An Athlon64 3400 with a gig of ram and a 250 GB hard drive is a bit 
overkill for this project, at least as a dedicated box for said project. Oh 
well...
I'm going to bed!

The Talk2 List hello from fake job

2007-06-30 Thread Patrick Perdue
Hi. This us a bored Borris live from a squishy phone e-mail client. I just 
wanted to announce that we have recieved about 100 old 667 mhz machines with 
motherboards supporting dual slot1 processors, though they only have one 
installed. They have Maxtor drives in them, loud case fans, and they're big and 
heavy. Did I mention we have 100 of them here? Yeah, I thought I might have. 
Yeah for common hardware and command-line disk imaging utilities! Actually, 
this is all rather boring, and my Mom just called me, successfully breaking my 
packet data connection and taking me out of the mail window. Do you actually 
care? No, I thought not!
I've just been asked if I know the power specifications for a particular set of 
speakers, which I do, since I own a set of them, and have long sence lost the 
original power supply. Acctually, I think I sold it along with my psr530 since 
I lost it's power supply. Yet another all-that-for-that situation.
Kool and the gang's "celibrate" is playing on a random set of speakers that are 
above and to the right of me. They seem to have no bottom end under 100hz or 
so, but the rest of the range that they do have is OK.
A loud person called Matt is talking about ipods while imaging software.
Celibrate has been replaced by the far inferior YMCA, and a couple of people 
are sort of fake singing off key. Could you get them to not do that anymore?
According to Matt, these screws are shorter than normal, should it 
matter.replace YMCA with go die today, and it's suddenly a lot more amusing! 
Well, I think it is, anyway. Perhaps my judgment is off? I'm uncertain at this 
time.
I have just foung and installed two 256mb rdram sticks on a stupid bad time 
motherboard, which is not good to the max, nor is it good in the mix, in my 
opinion. Again, this is only my opinion, and should be treated as such.
Please note that my laptop is in it's case on the floor, being all bored and 
hibernated about itself, while Matt complains loudly about "thingle whatsits", 
whatever he's on about, for I will surely not dind out any time soon. I made an 
obvious typeo, and I don't feel like fixing it. Therefore, I sha'nt. I hope you 
don't mind. Of course, I could have easily saved a lot of time by fixing it, 
rather than talking about not fixing it. However, the latter wasted more time, 
therefore, it was more fun. Don't you agree? Yes, I thought you might!
There's a lot of waiting around, but that's when you can study. At least, this 
is what the random person behind me seems to think. Whether this is true or not 
remains to be seen, as far as I'm concwened. I'm waiting around a lot, while 
simultaneously not studying for anything! So there! Do something about it, why 
don't ya! Mo? Ah well, your loss, or something!
It is now 11:46, which is utterly insignificant, sort of like this message, 
which, incidentally, as of sometime after now, has successfully died! Oh boy! 
Step 3, install foxit pdf reader and go cry about it in a convenient corner!

Hi:

You're not going to find terribly much of quality that will do all you want for
less than $200, that's for sure.
You also won't find normal consumer cards that support asio.
If you can help it, I'd suggest a firewire interface for serious asio
use, I.E. both audio and midi via VSTI, DXI, lots of processing, etc, although 
you can get away with a USB interface if that's what you
have.

Also, none but Creative cards support sound fonts natively, and you'll
not want to try using a Creative card with asio... it's \a bad idea, both
in principal and in practice.
If you really need sound font support, I'd suggest trying something like
SFZ. Of course, I have no idea how useful this will be under VSTHost,
most likely not very.

Effects? Now you're getting into territory that is simply best left to
 something other than a sound card, for anything serious!
Seems to me that you want far too much for far too little, but this is
simply my opinion on things.

This having been said, have a look at the M-Audio Audiophile USB,
M-Audio fastrack, Tascam US-122, or the M-Audio MobilePreUSB.
Also, if you really want to go cheap, Phonic and Behringer make some
external interfaces, but I have no idea what they're like.

Have fun?

Re: The Talk2 List Problems with the Zoom H4

2007-08-31 Thread Patrick Perdue
Hi:

suggestions:
If you haven't recorded anything else on the card after that point,
use PC Inspector File Recovery on the card. Rip out all the clusters if
you have to. This worked for me when this happened with my r1, although
it's usually cool enough to save before dying, unless you fllip the
power switch while recording. It's a really odd program
with a strange/quirky interface, but I've managed to get a lot of broken
files recovered with it. It doesn't support NTFS but will work with fat
and fat32.

I haven't had this experience with my Zoom H4 yet since I've only had it
for a bit less than a month.

Lithium rechargeable batteries are great with the h4. They're pricier
than standard NiMH rechargeables and they are 3.6 volts a sell, but the
h4 can take it just fine, and in fact they work better at this higher voltage.
Again, I haven't had my H4 that long and haven't done battery burn
tests, but with phantom power off I can easily get five hours of record
time on standard 2650 MAH NiMH batteries

As for your shocking problem -- external mics are good for you.
The internals are pretty nice for what they are, in fact, they're the
best I've ever seen on a device like this.
But, of course, the case being plastic and the mics conducting any noise
from vibrations of the plastic casing anywhere else will do that. Yeah,
welcome to it, folks.

Re: The Talk2 List Problems with the Zoom H4

2007-08-31 Thread Patrick Perdue
On 8/31/2007, 11:42:22 AM EDT, Byron sputtered:

> what setting do you use when   you record?

With external mics, usually mid-attenuation with the preamp jacked up a
few DB, maybe from it's default 101 to about 109 on each side. I
normally don't use the internals much, unless I need to "start
recording right now!" and have no time to monitor or setup externals. I
pretty much leave the internal attenuator on mid. Low wouldn't be a bad
idea if you're in a moving box with lots of SPL, though.
Given that, they are still the nicest internals I've seen on anything
thus far. Definitely a huge improvement over the Edirol R1's internal mics, 
even though they are closer together. It's all about the cardioid
pick-up pattern!

Given the above settings for external mics, if something really
scary/loud occurs, I can always drop
to low attenuation (which is kind of a misnomer given that the lower
settings are more attenuated, of course), and still have a pretty good 
signal-to-noise ratio
before it starts hitting quantization territory.
This is actually a problem with the H4 since the preamp is so clean. You
can easily hit levels in quiet situations, while recording in 16-bit, where 
bits will start getting truncated.

So, of course, the best option is to record with some headroom and a
good SNR, then squeeze what you can out of it in post-production. Borris
likes Sound Forge's wave hammer for this.
Keep your recordings as close to nominal without clipping on the input stage, 
then have some post-production fun.

P.S. the Sound Professionals phantom to plugin power converter is crap.
It technically does what it's supposed to, supplying the right amount of
plugin power to the mics when driven with 24 or 48-volts, but the
impedance is all wrong for most, if not all plugin-powered mics. This is 
probably
not completely the boxes fault.
So, when using external mics, in my case, the awesome Wizzzoelliam
modified WM61 panasonics, I use them in conjunction with a Giant Squid battery
box with a locking power switch, and a 1/8 to 2 1/4 converter that fits
rather seamlessly onto the bottom of the Zoom. I really should just cut the 
nuetrik off of the
battery box, and put some equivalent 1/4 outputs on it, but this is easier for 
now.

I'll bet an Audio Technica AT-822 would be a good single-point match
for that recorder, if you want to use that style of mic. I don't have
one to test, though, and for what little I practically do with my setup,
given that I usually can't justify what I already have, spending another
$249 on something I won't use all that much is... well... yeah.
But, having said that, I'll probably do it anyway at some point, since I
usually do anyway.

No, if I typed like Derek, it would be "hapends" with a D. So I can have

The Talk2 List [Spamhalter!] saheinkn

2007-09-08 Thread Patrick Perdue
For those who heard my show, you'll know what "Saheinkn" is.
For those who don't, this may still be amusing. If not, then... too bad?


I found the lyrics to Saheinkn, or, at least, the thing Derek sent me, which 
are, of course, in German.
They are as follows:

Sah ein Knab' ein Röslein stehn,
Röslein auf der Heiden,
war so jung und morgenschön,
lief er schnell, es nah zu sehn,
sah's mit vielen Freuden.

Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot, Röslein auf der Heiden.

Knabe sprach: Ich breche dich,
Röslein auf der Heiden!
Röslein sprach: Ich steche dich,
daß du ewig denkst an mich,
und ich will's nicht leiden.

Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot, Röslein auf der Heiden.

Und der wilde Knabe brach's
Röslein auf der Heiden;
Röslein wehrte sich und stach,
half ihm doch kein Weh und Ach,
mußt' es eben leiden.

Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot, Röslein auf der Heiden.


Now, we call up that age-old thread and translate that from German to
English, and get:

Boy spoke: I break you,
Röslein on the heaths!
Röslein spoke: I sting you,
that you think eternally of me,
and I will's do not suffer.

Röslein, Röslein, Röslein red, Röslein on the heaths.

And the wild boy brach's
Röslein on the heaths;
Röslein resisted and stung,
no pain helped it nevertheless and oh,
musst' it evenly suffer.

Röslein, Röslein, Röslein red, Röslein on the heaths.

From english to french and back:

Spoke of boy: I break you,
Röslein on the heathers!
Spoke of Röslein: I prick you,
that you think eternally of me,
and I do not suffer.

Röslein, Röslein, red of Röslein, Röslein on the heathers.

And wild brach of boy
Röslein on the heathers;
Resisted Röslein and piqué,
no pain helped him nevertheless and the OH,
musst that it also suffer.

Röslein, Röslein, red of Röslein, Röslein on the heathers.

From English to Itallian and back:

Röslein on the heathers!
Spoke di Röslein: The puncture you,

Röslein, Röslein, red color of Röslein, Röslein on the heathers.

Resistito de Röslein and piquè,

I don't like learning new things, I like making old things better. As

Exploration is also a pain, because then you realize things about
yourself that you'd rather not know, much less display to the rest of
the world, and you find things about
other people that you thought you could trust, and find reasons as to
why they may not be  so trustworthy after all. It's better
to let life run it's course and get yourself screwed up without knowing
it, rather than seeking all avenues and being smart about it. Pretend
you are more sheltered than you are, ask no favors, and don't give to
anyone, for anything, ever. Doing so may cause bad chain reactions to
occur in future, which, after a point, you may be powerless to stop.

Re: The Talk2 List How many?

2007-09-26 Thread Patrick Perdue
My theory is that it has one of those little deals where, when something
bridges across two contacts on the chassy that can conduct electricity and thus 
close
the circuit (a very easy thing to do, as well as confuse). Lots of those
stupid laughing head type things from the early 90's had these, as well
as countless other cheap, but nearly indestructible things.
A more advanced, or rather more obvious version of this is what you'd
commonly see with those audible liquid level indicators that you put
over the rim of a glass, mug, etc.

So, you could probably just put two fingers, or even one, in the right place 
and break the count.
Water, saliva, etc.  will of course work just as well. Of course, with
the pop in the way of the contacts, it would probably read from excess
spittle rolloff.

Welcome to a gimmick?
But of course, you already knew that!

Just some theory from a very sleepy and rather tired Borris.

2007-10-05 Thread Patrick Perdue
Due to a live event, I.E. Randy Gilkey and the Highrize Band playing at
a local club here tomorrow during my normal time slot, Things and Stuff
will not be heard at it's usual time this week. Instead, it will show up
on Sunday afternoon at 5:00 PM EDT.
Borris will be recording said event, and Randy doesn't think he'll be
around next week. So, the material gathered from the live show tomorrow
night could end up being a substitute Sunday Night
Serenade... Just wait and find out, or something...

This special Sunday Night Things and Stuff will, however, feature my

Re: The Talk2 List winamp5.5

2007-10-11 Thread Patrick Perdue
On 10/12/2007, 12:17:39 AM EDT, John left a message in a bottle, stating:

> This is why I never upgraded past 5.08.  Once I heard of those wav issues I
> was pretty much turned off to the later versions of Winamp.

Semi-long post ahead!

There are workarounds for all this. If you want wav file type to show up
in the open dialogue of the main window and playlist for newer versions
of winamp (something that should not be necessary in the first place),
here are two possible methods of making this happen:

1. Go to options, plugins, input. Select "Nullsoft Waveform Decoder
vX.X", and press "configure".
Here, you will find a list of file types to associate with the wav input
plugin, as well as other options pertaining to dithering, bit depth/sample rate 
conversion, and such. Take care to make sure that only the following extensions 
are selected in this list:
wav, voc, au, snd, aif, aiff
Selecting a combination that I haven't determined after this point
usually breaks it, and I have no idea why. It probably won't matter so
much as these are generally quite obscure file types, and if you really
need to play them that badly, then you are strange.

2. If the first method doesn't work, try this one:
Open winamp.ini found in either your winamp main directory or in
.x:\documents and settings\application data\winamp if you were
boring and configured it that way. Look for a line starting with
"extlist". You will see a list of all registered, but not necessarily
all associated extensions, not necessarily
in order. Here is mine as an example, although yours will surely differ,
but this is known to work for me with newer versions of winamp:
extlist=AC3:VOB:CDA:MPG:MPEG:M2V:AVI:ASF:WMV:mod:mdz:nst:stm:stz:s3m:s3z:it:itz:xm:xmz:mtm:ult:669:far:amf:okt:ptm:MP3:MP2:MP1:m3u:pls:ogg:mid:au:aif:aiff:ra:ram:wav

Let me again state how stupid this is, and show my general annoyance that
this is necessary at all in some cases.

As with many things, I am generally annoyed. 'What this time?' Well, I am 
generally annoyed at anything past about Winamp 5.08 or so for various reasons,
therefore, I am using a slimmed-down hybrid of winamps with version 2.80 at 
it's core, using some old and new plugins. It's very stable. I've been running 
FX Radio continuously now on three copies of these Winamp 2.80/5.x/other 
hybrids now for 51 days (up to 65 so far)
without a single crash or anything bad happening. It only died after 65 days 
due to prolonged power failure thanks to a storm in August.

Mind you, for broadcasting, I am  using a newer one, version 5.2 to be exact, 
just because it has
that cool global hotkeys thingy. I did try taking the global hotkey plugin and 
sticking it in an older version of winamp, but they were too clever for that, 
and only allowed it to work with versions 5.0 and up.

I find that older versions of Winamp are far more snappy and generally
responsive about things, and am still looking for Winamp alternatives.
The best option right now is probably Foobar2000, but there are plenty of 
things that annoy me about this one, which I don't think I'll bother getting 
into at the moment.

Tip: If you don't use it, uninstall or disable the Winamp library. It will make 
loading time much faster.
By default, the Winamp library hangs out in the background and looks at all the 
music,
streams, etc. that you've played, and keeps a nice index of them. So,
the more media you play, the bigger the database gets, and the longer it
takes to launch Winamp, thus, allowing it to get fat and giving it the 
opportunity to apologize for it later... unless you either uninstall the Winamp 
library, or configure it not to cache all that stuff behind you.

God, I hope all this crap has been informative and/or useful to at least
someone, as all this info has been obtained purely from experience and
nothing else.

Have a good slushy day.

Oh, that's cool. The installer, with all the new stuff included, is

Re: The Talk2 List winamp5.5

2007-10-12 Thread Patrick Perdue
Hi sam:

I always use the Stand-alone Oddcast broadcasting thing... Who the hell uses
spacial audio anything anymore? That officially died here at TBRN almost a year
ago unless you're Venison, and the stand-alone version of sam encoders sucks 
even more than
the Winamp plugin does, plus they use ancient and generally very old
versions of the Ogg encoder, which can be changed out for a nicer one. However, 
due to other
things, I don't bother.
By the way, I totally don't miss having my being able to broadcast depending on 
a Winamp DSP stack.

Yes, you can get Title Streaming to work with Oddcast stand-alone and Foobar if 
you really want to, by using
the Oddcast grab from winamp window stuff. It will work with any app.
You could make it pick up the title bar from your customized
refrigerator controller application and have it report, for all the
world to see, the internal temperature of your refrigerator as your song
title, should you
so choose to do so, so long as the information you want is shown in the
title bar of any given window class. The stand-alone Oddcast has options for 
trunkating before and
after text so that it doesn't display the entire window title, such as
the program running and such.

However, I could never quite get the Foobar playlist to work quite as
well as the Winamp one, nor could I get a decent cross-fading solution.
IN fact, I was never able to get anything other than a straight
cross-fader with no intelligent dropping or rising when it was supposed
to other than simply cross-fading only, no matter what I did. With older
versions of Foobar2000 0.83 and things like it,  where this
was possible, I tried both a crossfading DSP and simultaneously using a modified
cross-fading output plugin, which really tried to work but couldn't
quite get it right, even after hours of configuring things. With the new
standard 0.9.x and higher, it was even worse.
To make it just that much more annoying, 0.9.x, which has far less
plugin support (although it does, unlike older versions, properly
supports AAC+ streams), is much easier for changing all the hotkeys around. I
don't particularly like the Foobar defaults, and with the old one, you
have to click on an invisible bitmap or something to change hotkeys.
Also, I couldn't find a reliable way to find the remaining time on the
currently playing track, or get the runtime of a track in the playlist
before playing it, but this could purely be born of ignorance.
I did, however, find it very cool that you could have multiple playlists
open in different windows.

If I could get all these things fixed and get a decent cross-fader
going, you bet I would drop the use of Winamp for mainstream everything. I've 
been annoyed at it
for so long, but so far have not quite found anything that does everything I 
want, in quite the way I want it.

Let me say that I love the concept of their DSP stacking, and it comes
with a lot more useful stuff by default without being bloated about it,
but the crossfading really, really annoys me! So! much!!!
But, I'm willing to give it another go if I could only be told how to
make the crossfader not suck, even if I have to forego track time
remaining and a couple of other useful features that I've been used to
for so long with Winamp.

Ah, boring manual frame advancement. I always thought those things were
incredibly boring and a very large waste of space and energy.
They had those combination projector/tape decks, and some of them had decent 
speakers, at least, to make up for their bulk and general boring
nature, but there are much more efficient ways of doing that sort of thing.

Of course, at the same time, we had laser disks. It was fun when the
laser disk player decided to play all of the available audio tracks at
once, which gives you simultaneous English and Spanish versions of the
spoken/dialogue on most of those little-person school things. It was
particularly cool when it was based on something that was very obviously
in English, like the Apollo moon missions, and there were clips of the
ground control, and of course the famous "one small step for man" thing,
which they of course had to let through straight. They did have things
quite synchronized, and because of the cool mono tv we had, and the way
the tracks were done on the disk, all that stuff just went right out of
phase and died, so you were left with some very odd residual things.
That is, until the boring person figured out how to make the Spanish track go 
away...

Yeah, same here. I bought my first CD player that I could call my own
for $30 at a hamfest in early 1996. It was a single Sony component thing, and I 
liked
it loads... until I broke it a few weeks after I bought it, that is. It
made big obvious clicky noises when you did manual track changes, and
the A/B repete function went clicky like a relay on the start and
end-points. It had a remote by which you could program things, and a gap
button that would insert a 1-second gap between tracks, which I thought
was really pointless at the time, especially with gapless cd's, like
Abby Road, which was left in that cd player by it's previous owner. I didn't
know what it was officially called, so I just called it the "broke button".

I then bought a crappy Admiral (AKA Emerson) 5-disc changer, which I
still have, and which I'm pretty sure doesn't work anymore, for $89.
Back then, that was a deal, except for the fact that it sucked. Oh well.

By this time, I already had some of my own cd's, but I kept steeling
Ryan's portable to play them, since I didn't have one up until that
point. Until I broke it just after Christmas 1995, Ryan had this big ol' Sound 
Design
portable thing from 1989 that took 8 AA batteries and had a neck strap,
and had a two-hour battery life.
You had to flip a stopper switch to keep the door from flying open as
you moved, since the magnetic spindel on top was the only thing keeping
it together. Absolutely no shock protection at all.
It had a digital clock and a dedicated line out as well as headphone out
though, so it was worth it for that I guess.
Although, people that could read things told me that when I keyed up my
2-meter HT, the clock would go at about 10 times the normal rate.
Fun!

OK, maybe in Greenville, but if the social services department comes out and officially says "May god bless you", then, well, that's not very politically correct, now is it? You might have just offended said purported dead person! Oh god, how could you live with yourself after that? The soul be damned, and he/she will come back to haunt you for years while you're behind your desk in that abysmal                 little office filling out paperwork and being generally boring. Actually, that might make your job more interesting if you're a social worker.

Quite honestly, I've had a rather taxing week, with things breaking and sort of 
fixing themselves in a convoluted way.  That, however, has nothing to do with 
the crazy show I've got planned.
What kinds of noises can be made with sound editing and the rather odd sounds 
that andre and Patrick captured over the last week?
Was a dj on an fm station in 1998 feeling the same way about valentines day 
that I feel?
Also, from the same tape hear a piece of a small community country radio 
station as the dj talks about a song that he wrote in 1958, and, of course the 
song itself.
Naturally, if time permits, we'll pick up on the reading of the "history of 
jazz," book that was started last week.
All this plus whatever craziness you, the listener, chooses to throw in the mix.
You know where to listen, and why... So do it.

Yeah, they're certs, out of date though they may be. MCP=Microsoft Certified 
Professional (in this case, just boring old Windows 2000 Professional).
CNA=Certified Novell Administrator (4.11).
I am a bad person, and have not updated these credentials since 2002.
But, I can probably get a job providing tech support for an ISP in a
third world country with what I've got now, so that's something I guess.

OK, fine. If you're going to be like that:

I just thought you all would like to know:
that loads and lots of people will be in Nashville, Tennessee, in a bit
less than two day(s).
Now, let's restate that:
There are already loads of people in Nashville, it's just that a few
more will be dropping in for a while. So yeah.
And we, that is, Kelly, Derek and myself,  will be headed back to North 
Carolina as Amy leaves it, and shows up in Michigan. How cute?

The Talk2 List Welcome to a basement that is not my own!

2008-03-11 Thread Patrick Perdue
Hi:

I am writing from the floor of Kelly Michael's basement, just because I
can. I found an open wireless connection that is very weak, extremely
distant, and really slow. But, I can get online here, and he can't. I am
more powerful than the front yard. Wa ha.
I just thought I'd let you know, just in case you find this information
necessary at some point in the future.
Broadcom wireless chips are good for you!

Did you put something in yours that caused you to forget that you are
currently sharing living space with the prime heh, thus negating the need to 
send a message all the way to London and back to get an answer that you most 
likely already know in the first place?


On a completely un-related note: it is painful to switch from my nice
new brushed-aluminum apple keyboard back to the Logitech wireless one.
I've been spoiled, and I've only been using the damn thing for 1.5 days.

The Talk2 List Things and Stuff returns tonight!

2008-03-22 Thread Patrick Perdue
After over a month of not existing on this network, well... except for
that time where I ran the board for a show that wasn't mine, and played
host to yet another show for about half an hour, Things and Stuff
returns with an attitude, I.E. pretty much the same as it's always been.
What will it do? Well, I could make up this big elaborate thing on all
the fun things I will do, and just how organized stuff will be.
However, given that none of this has ever happened before, that would be
a waste of time.

So, tune in at 10:00 PM EDT, where you, as well as I, will find out
what happens on tonight's episode. It may be just as successful as
InflatableFood.net, or maybe even more so! You never know, right?

Of course, you all know how to tune in by now, so do it... it's fun?

Oh, good. If I've succeeded in confusing at least one person, even through 
someone else, then my job is complete. That was a message from four years ago.

Re: The Talk2 List google language translater

2008-03-28 Thread Patrick Perdue
John:

While I will not disagree with your assessment, I will say that getting
a life is much harder than it sounds.

When I went to my local life support center and asked to purchase a life, the
girl at the counter told me that the life support center was only prepared to 
support clients who already had a life. I suppose this is why it's called a 
life support center rather than a life market.
The nice life support receptionist did tell me, however, that in order
to obtain a life, I would have to go through a rigorous and painful process 
down at the Liberation Library, which happens to be in Hong Kong. There, you 
can lease, rent, or buy lives for much cheaper
than in the American market, and when you have no money to speak of,
this is important. The drawback, however, is that lives imported to the
Americas from Asian stock come with no guarantees, warrantees, or
support of any kind, which is why they are so cheap. Most of them were
imported from the China mainland, or, in some cases, Zimbabwe. Hey,
those people need something to do, too, ya know!

Unfortunately, everything requires some sort of monetary trade-off;
that's just how the economy works.
Thus, I have yet to make it to Hong Kong, and therefore, I currently have no 
life.
This is, as you've no doubt surmised by now, a redundant point, however valid 
it may be.

But, as you are offering, surreptitiously, to aid me in my quest to
obtain a life, feel free to enlighten me as to the support you will be 
providing in this endeavor.

By the way, I really like the "redirect" feature of this and many other
e-mail clients. It confuses people.

Re: The Talk2 List Too much time on their hands perhaps?

2008-03-30 Thread Patrick Perdue
yep, I'd say that goes into the category of at least half-way amusing.
Some of us on this list could probably do better, and there were all
kinds of things not used. None of the win9x sound schemes -- musica,
utopia, robots, etc. would have made things a lot more interesting.
Though it was quantized, some of the envelope tails were a little off.
Could have done some fun things with resonating filters...
hmm... No!

But but, that announcement didn't answer the most important questions:

Is talks accessible with jaws? Where can I get scripts for it? Can I
install it on my Rockbox compatible device? Is it available as a plugin
for Miranda IM? Does it go bump in the night? Does it come with a free Zildjian 
ZBT crash cymbal?
