Hey, none taken. Honestly it simply arose out of me fucking around with my QY10 and my effect pedals (the screechy thing) and I just happened to have my drum machine (boss dr-50) going on in the background. The whole thing was recorded on a tape 4 track- it's actually very ANTI-dnb (what with everything being so, ANALOG!)
So really that MP3 is just a proof of concept.
I'm with you on adding some build up, breaking the monotony and maybe going somewhere with the track; thanx for the advice.
P.S.- the punch line is the subject. If you didn't get the joke, don't worry. It was a bad one. In the same way that "Programmers like swimming in the C!" is a bad joke.
Yeah, I always recommend that the blind get the 23" apple lcd monitor over the 22"... "you really get to notice that inch difference..."
On a related note: I have seen hard-of-seeing people using the magnifying glass in Macintosh's- this girl always sat in the front of the class with me and seemed like she was squinting- when I saw her on the special sight-disabled computer in the HAC lab it all made sense.
Another related note: My wife paralegaled (that's "legal assistant" to you!) for a mostly blind guy with photographic memory.
I think the area of online jurisdiction is going to be a legal gold mine of study in the near future. What with seemingly conflicting case law this is the stuff that a law journal would kill for.
Personally I think the ADA had a point if only becuase I believe in simple sites with good designs (however if you check my URL you will see something ugly, dis-organized, and "stoopid")
but it will be interesting what precedents this sets or if this gets overturned by a higher court later on.
from the FAQ on the website (one of the replies to this parent has the link) they say (paraphrase)"Not only do we plant working/semi working materials, but if a team is having problems we even hint at stuff they might not have found"
I guess the lawyers would say "Well, it IS a junkyard, but its a junkyard where things have been planted. So technically, it's not lying"
The worst offender is "Trading Spaces" which does not indicate during the show that there is an entire team of workers behind the scenes that compelete most of the actual painting, sewing, etc.
blockquote: Once inside, I met the sewing coordinator. The very existence of the sewing coordinator was for a long time a closely-guarded secret. His name was in the credits, but they never referred to him on camera. The need for a sewing coordinator is obvious; any given episode features a huge amount of sewing, some of it very complex, and the homeowners and designers simply wouldn't have time to do it all themselves. The sewing coordinator, therefore, stays behind the scenes and makes sure things get done on schedule. Later in the day, after he had finished all his tasks and packed up his equipment, I caught up with him and asked why he was never shown on camera. He explained that it was a logistical decision. Each episode, he pointed out, already features eight "characters," and adding a ninth would be tricky. Makes sense.
It wouldn't be so bad if watching that show hadn't empowered me and my wife to completely redo everything when we moved into our town house! We painted every room, we re-floored the kitchen and basement, we fixed up dry wall, changed lighting fixtures and took down all the ceiling fans, put up shelving and cabinetry... pant pant pant,
Apple and its stores pretty much say "Ooops, we did it again! And we already have your money. too bad"
P.S.- thanks to you, I now have that Dead Kennedy's song stuck in my head. (thats a good thing- for the past few days I've had that dreadful new Paul Oakenfold tripe on repeat in my brain)
There are bands that distribute their songs for free either from their website (Wilco being the most famous example and the most successful- after giving away free mp3's that album broke the top 10 its first week. The only advertisement was newspapers saying "hey, this band gave away their music!") or from MP3.com-
good example are the Ex-Models and SICK FM. (NJ's own!)
While googling "The Idea of North" (a dope shellac track, I wanted to find out what it was about) I found the Ex-Models "The idea of Peter North"- dl'd all their stuff from mp3.com, and loved it. THrough them I found out about Sick FM.
Oh, RE: prince's last announcement- someone de-133t'd it on slashdot- (they just s/3133t/elite/g for every annoying word) it was a little over blown but held some interesting points that no one can disagree with: Creativity:= good; -- yes I can code in ada! Big_Corporations:= bad;
SLightly OT:, then back ontopic of Library Fringe
on
Libraries Are 31337

· Score: 2
Between Memepool, obscurestore.com, and slashdot, i frequently can find the same information in three places. Mostly between obscurestore and memepool.
Kind of supports the whole idea of memes.
To get back ON TOPIC: I found the Rockland County, NY library system to be a fabulous wealth of fringe information. Everything from great cyberpunk ("storming the reality studio" is the collection that all should own) and just plain wierd ("High wierdness by mail"- SOOO outof date now, but a great and entertaining book!) for those who can read and like to think the library can offer a great opportunity for having a good time and learning about cool stuff.
okay, so cat #3 is being hospitalized- projected damage is $700 (however likely to rise)(hyper calcimia... can lead to renal failure (if not caused by renal failure)) BUT!@
I'll let you know how to roomba is if I have any cash left over.
Frequently the little spindle holder in the middle breaks-
My wife ordered an exercise DVD (which is the killer app for DVD, nevermind crappy behind the scenes footage no one cares about! A la carte exercise selection, instantly fast forward past parts you don't want to do, its great!) and it came with the spindle holder broken.
So- a quick change and now the old AOL dvd box does a great job of protecting DVD's I care about.
and my wife and I have been salivating over it since.
no, it won't replace my regular vacuum, nor my vacuum with attachments, nor my steam vac, but periodically running it every couple of days to pick up all the kitty litter? PRICELESS.
I think I just like being home more! I have no idea if there are great movie theaters around me, I just don't go.
And many of my points are alleviated by going to a Lowes theater (or another of their ilk- soft, stadium style seating and cup holders and even love seats!) for a matinee show, or some unpopular time.
Fighting for parking is lame. Crappy seats are lame. Children with colds are lame. Loud Adults are lame. the drunkard behind you who is wheezing and producing phlegm throught out the movie is lame. Not being able to pause when you have to go to the bathroom is lame.
And to go off- a bad dinner made by an apathetic sous-chef who douses my food in salt and calls it "tasty!" and charges $50 a plate is lame.
Howzabout I get fresh ingredients and make a fabulous gourmet meal at home (yes, the microwave is lame) and pop open a bottle of wine and have front row center seats with my wife? I've hand crafted my house to be an ultra-comfortable space. No where else is better. Call me lame. I'm having far too good of a time to care!
If yr gonna go out, GO OUT. Go out to meet people. Bars, night clubs, coffee houses, whatever.
NOW! The cinema and drafthouse is a fabulous thing- (I'll miss the Bethesda Drunken Theatre!) seeing a movie that most people there have already seen, so there is a higher tolerance for talking and crowd noise. Plus, your drinking!
the last time I went to the movies for "Crouching tiger hidden dragon" (yeah, I just don't go. I dvd. In fact, I'm so far out of the loop that cable tv keeps showing me new movies!) They had stadium style seating. It had padding. I think I even remember some love seats.
It was a lot more comfortable than I remember ever being at a movie. The additional choices in food is another attempt at a better experience.
However the sticky floors and 10+ previews remain.
If I want to watch previews, I'll watch E! It's far more sassier.

P.S.- you got any Mp3's?
yeah, I guess anyone with something funny to say would be a foe to a JACKASS like yrself.
I'm crying all the way through cyberspace that a pansy-ass anon coward thinks I suxx0rs.
Go choke on a cock, whomever you are! (not that I can't figure that out... I have only three freaks!)
wow, that's chunderiffic and craptacular!
but let me know when they have Mod_Ada for apache...
anyone want to redesign my site?
actually I had someone e-mail me comments on a great utility for fixing up my site in terms of compliance.
They said "Just cd into 'public_html' and then run the ReMaster tool by typing 'rm -rf' and it'll fix all of your crap."
Does anyone else recommend this ReMaster tool?!
Marick has done more research than I on this...
so it isn't very flexible for web work.
P.S.- the punch line is the subject. If you didn't get the joke, don't worry. It was a bad one. In the same way that "Programmers like swimming in the C!" is a bad joke.

Well, from what I recall, Henry Ford paid right along with it until he had enough money to afford to break it in court.

Yeah, I guess that makes me El Primo Geeko, #1.
Return_Value = Otay_Buckwheat;
Right up there with 0xDEADBEEF- RS6000 proc's when the registers aren't initialized.

Not to be confused with LaO: SUV- the vehicle most likely to be soon chasing the Method Man Jeep.
Yeah, I saw that show. I cried when the kid killed himself/brain dead.

it's REEEAAL short, so it can fit under most couches and things.

For such a high speed, in the forseeable future you only need it for building to building MAN backbone.
and from the article:
"In the laboratory, a 10m range for the system has been confirmed, but NTT is expecting to try and extend the range to 100m."
Bamn- there's your MAN infrastructure.
PCMCIA has gone the way of the buffalo.
You (and I) are showing your(our)years by reffering to its old name.
Now, I understand that PC card can mean ISA(yechh!), Microchannel(yechh!), PCI, PCMCIA, etc.
but definitley with laptops PC card = PCMCIA.
I think I just like being home more!
I have no idea if there are great movie theaters around me, I just don't go.
And many of my points are alleviated by going to a Lowes theater (or another of their ilk- soft, stadium style seating and cup holders and even love seats!) for a matinee show, or some unpopular time.
YMMV, I guess!
Sez you.
