in my reply to this/. article I wanted to write something like: "cool, I want a 800x600 b/w eye on may back, so I will see in infrared, x-ray, or just connect this eye to my very-small-and-portable-laptop",
but you raise a very interesting topic:
Interestingly, one bit of music that always has the same visual dynamics for me isn't classical at all. It's Genesis' The Brazillian (the last track on Invisible Touch)
I'm downloading this right now (via mldonkey;) - I should have it tommorow.
In fact I'm not a synaesthete, but I guess I always wanted to:) When I had time (it means - 6 years ago, or such) I loved to listen to music while in darkness. Then I forced my brain to create images inspired by this music. If succesfull I ended with a complete videoclip (genereted by my brain) that was inspired by the music I heard. Still I try to do that everytime I go to a classical music concert (not too often tough - once a year maybe).
The important thing is that everytime I listen to the same compostion (same CD to be more precise) - I end up with a very similar videoclip. My best artist for that is Mike Oldfield. Still (after many years) I have in my mind frames of that videoclip created by "Ommadawn" - medieval knights on horses fighting each other on a big battlefield full of other (less important) people fighting with swords and lances. If you start to listen "part I" of Ommandawn you may see that it all starts on a wheat field. After few minutes you will see a heavy accent of walking fighters which later will be replaced by lightweight dancing dryads. (that's how it works for me).
I have even written down a full story which was generated by "Crises" (Mike Oldfield) I'll just have to translate it to english, and you then could compare if your experience is somehow similar.
For example I remember that a short (0.2 second) violin accent on the right, was a frog jumping off the road (to the right:). The hero of my videoclip was walking down the road inside a forest, that time.
just after I get "anything she does" (the last track on Invisible Touch) I'll listen with great pleasure. And I'll try to dig up my written memories of "Crises" and translate them to english (but this process may unfortunately take more than a week - since I don't have that much time now, that I had years ago:>). If you want to wait for that - I think it's better if I write it in my journal, then put a note here, so you'll quickly find it out.
and thank you for your post. You had just reminded me about "lost treasures of the past" that I had almost forgotten because of all the busy life I have now (child, wife, work, etc.. ). I only missed that from time to time, now - it's time to revive old memories, and have pleasent listening time - once again !;)
is it possible that firefox is targetted by malicious programs - so that firefox will behave less stable. And those programs were exactly tuned to work with firefox 1.0?
I do the same - offer tech support, but only for linux boxes. my distro of choice is debian.
my sister uses debian, and I visit her every 4 or 6 months, and everything is in the same good state as before: she writes documents in openoffice, prints then, downloads videos with mldonkey, watches them with mplayer, burns them with k3b.
but she wants games for her son - so I allowed debian to dualboot with win95 (grub). and I don't touch win95 on her computer at all. She uses a husband of her friend for that. He reinstalls it every few months, to get the games running:>
I don't have time to run wine with directx support on her box, heck I even didn't done that on my machine, let alone someone's else machine.
have you tried galeon? This is my browser of choice, yet - everywhere I recommend firefox, because galeon is only for those who have their own taste, different than 'common taste'.
Just like I use rox and sawfish, yet I recommend (and install) KDE to everybody
oh well.. he wouldn't care to post here, I guess. There are more interesting things around to do, for a methamatical genius, than to hang around with nerds. (btw, I love his books)
Slashdot Mirror
everything is great except for video in presentation. It works somehow, but does not even correctly open .ppt with video inside, though.
your sig always puts a smile on my face ;)
Novell Linux Desktop
so it's best to visit as many doctors as possible, sooner or later he will find one, that *knows*

amen, brother.

I tried to download music from their site, but I can't find this button. Am I blind?
hey, /. also doesn't render correctly in galeon. Amazingly I kept to ignore this glitch until you spelt it.
George, where are you?
perhaps you meant FTFA?
next time I see 'rpm conflict' I'LL KILL this computer!!!

his server is probably fine, it's just the connection that has problems....

not only adblock is great. Custom hosts file greatly increases browsing sanity.

I humbly prefer killing Bill only. If I may.
how many times had this guy, roland piquebiwelly, subimtted this story to get it posted? Ten, or maybe twenty?
