Dejavu all over again

Woah..De... Ja...Vu...
Here I was, listening to "Eye In The Sky" by Joe Frank and suddenly everything goes funny and I know exactly what's going to happen and just follow the precognitions and here I am.

By the way, Eye In The Sky was very good. Go and find it, listen to it.

first podcast out of the way!

Yay!

It needed to go out. I've been hanging to it for two months and I did almost no work on it.
Today, I cleaned it up - twice. Audacity crashed towards the end of the first attemt. I rushed the second edit but it's OK.

Then I cleared it up and mixed it with Ardour2 with gates, compressors and whatnots.

Then I exported it, clipped the end using Audacity again, converted it into mp3 with Lame and then I edited the mp3 tags using Amarok and....

I tried to reopen the project in Ardour2 and the damn thing dies on me. Arrrrgh!

Anyway, the first MiniMi episode is out, it's 2:15, with only 1 minute of Eralp talking. Now, that's not long - I am really scared of the long shows I'm planning and I really envy other podcasters, how do they go through all this, it's unbeliveable. Especially Mike of Farpoint Media is MetaGod!

Kurt Vonnegut(*) R.I.P.

He's gone... Oh well, so it goes...

Section 6!

Unbelievable! Google Mail locked me out with Section 6 - I can't see any of the HDRI pics Michele has been sending to me! And this happened just after I reported a problem with Thunderbird. Strange? Suspicious? OH HELL YES!

This is the first time I'm seriously pissed of with Google Mail - so far I've been a big advocate and this really sucks.

Back in Starbucks... I love Borders in Cambridge. I browse, buy books and magazines and sit down and have a nice cup of extremely expensive coffee listening to some podcasts... Live the feeling. I need to do this more often but...

Food in Starbucks is evil and outrageously expensive so sneaked in a KitKat in. Hehe. They can try throwing me out. Good luck to them.

Just before the easter bank holiday, it's almost completely empty. Probably all of the studens have gone home or on holiday somwhere, same with the rest of the people. It's only me who gets stuck.

Spent an hour reading some documents and some PDFs I had with me - I better get going...

Twitter sucks?

I can see how Twitter can be used to harvest data about me - I am getting friended by bots lately and I can't find a way to block them. Damn damn damn!

Escape Pod hits 100!

Escape Pod rocks! I've been spending all my time since this morning listening to old (and new) Escape Pod episodes. Love this guy and the show!

Mason Rocket is dead

Joe Murphy is gone...
It's better this way, he was very heavily drugged and I'm glad he's no longer suffering.

HDRI and long walks

Went to Wimpole farm with Michele and Serkan. Walked slowly but a reasonable distance, shooting lots of pics. After that we went to Cambridge, had something to eat at Dojo (great place). And then my stomach got very upset. After walking a bit more, we headed back home (now it's 7 hours after we met first time today) and then looked at some of the pics. I'm dead tired and tomorrow will be long and stressful.
