Are the Soundcloud embeds working for you? They were working right up until I hit publish? and now they?re not! Arrgh! Mr B is onto it though.

I don't even need to listen to music anymore. I can tell if I like it just by looking at the waveform. ;)

Russell Brown

Turns out, I broke it.

I had no idea that ClickToFlash/ClickToPlugin would actually alter the embed code when I saved/refreshed in our WYSIWYG CMS.

Diagnosed by Dr Matt and fixed so it won't happen again.

thanks for taking the time to record and post David's lecture – I've bored too many with how much I enjoyed this and can now just point em to the source

You were there, and didn?t say anything on the night? How rude. ;)

Swede as...
Smorgasboard? Smorgasboard!
Surely being digital, it should be smorgasbaud,
(or at least the correct smorgasbord)
but then again it may just be a pun...
...I'm crook at the moment and my
faculties are not firing on all cylinders,
apologies for unwarranted pedantry if that's the case

Your pedantry strikes a chord. Fixed.

Speaking of tasty, has Lana Del Rey crossed anyone else's radar?
Video not on YouTube, so you need to watch here. Smokin'!

That great blend looked all well and good, but where was the lawn bowls?

So what was Ms Ryan's reaction to David's lecture?

BenWilson

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:59:35 +1200

I don't even need to listen to music anymore. I can tell if I like it just by looking at the waveform. ;)

Just a natural flow on from being able to read the music by looking along the vinyl grooves?

The scariest part is I suspect you aren't kidding.?

Ian Dalziel

Thanks to Big Ross for past efforts as well?

I'm pretty much convinced that Muldoon was very small and the 'big' head simply an optical illusion caused by clever TV angles, the fumes of the ever present gin, and the use of 70s brothel creepers.

Ah, but can you really? I don't claim to be an expert on this but the late, great Ian Morris once gave me a quick private lecture?

Oh ? I was up until 3 am this morning beating my head against YouTube?s import filter. Turns out that it required the audio to be Lame encoded rather than AAC (even though YouTube specifies AAC in its own documentation). It?s now on YouTube here:

Sometimes it?s easier to?

Russell Brown

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:33:05 +1200

Sometimes it's easier to have the sort of brain that just says: "I'll use Vimeo."

I'm really impressed with Vimeo, actually — although it's a big help to have even the cheapest subscription. It imports and transcodes really quickly, and tells you how it's getting along with that, rather than?

Sacha

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:40:37 +1200

of course, I think none of those dreadful things about Ms Ryan

Oh you should have seen the expressions on some of the Welli-based audience members on the night, unaccustomed to your deadpan wit..

Having stood (and sat, shudder) next to Muldoon, I can confirm he actually did have a large heard. And was very short – I'm only 167cm, and he was at least 4cm shorter.

I got my MIDI-USB stick today – any recommendations for software? On Windows.

Cool. Honestly don't know what's the right thing these days.

Brilliant presentation sir, but sadly

Shame about Public Address Radio. I never once listened to it on Radio Live but have had it my podcast feed for years. It always gave me something to listen to on the bus into work and there have been some great interviews and music over the years.

It will?

I wanted to add the great Tom Waits/Cookie Monster mashup "God's Away On Business" but this dumb new computer won't let me do it (they have taken away my Mac and shifted me to a PC . Wah!!).
Or maybe it is the dumb operator!

Cheers. I'm not sure if getting a 349 USD piece of software to justify a $10 stick makes sense :-). It does look frikken awesome, though. I'll work my way up to that.

Have started my DJing app btw. All that Java I did with Leo is?

Russell Brown

Have started my DJing app btw. All that Java I did with Leo is paying off now. Will probably pester you for some input soon.

Wow, thanks for all the awesome content, I?ll have to come back and watch some more later. I?m so looking forward to a local OGB!! We?ll try our very best not to be quaky this time. <3 to all you clever folk.

ETA: and I think we should have a smorgasbawd, don't you?

Why, thank you Lilith.

Why, thank you Lilith.

No worries. It's a genius mashup.

A truly a posteriori justification ;-)

Has Dr. Haywood considered the possibility of expanding his research along the lines recently explored by Tatu Westling? Brave volunteers may be required to gather the necessary data.

Islander

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 19:59:19 +1200

Heh!
He was also an unpleasant yellow colour but that, I guess, was due to the alcohol intake?

BTW Emma, PA Story is even more hysterical read aloud, thank you!

And David: you're a funny man. One should not attempt to imbibe while listening, I find. Too much choking. :-)

Thanks for noticing. Not sure 'odd' is a word I'd use in that respect. But anyway, moving right along.

I'm not the first to make this comparison, but yeah, I can kind of see it.

Heh, this is one of those compare-and-contrast things, right??

TBH, I was thinking more of the similarities.

1) They can sing.
2) Alluring eyes.
3) At some point this will get dangerous, so I'll stop there.
4) See above.

5) Both songs are about shooting
and
6) except for Lana del Rey, they are both wearing pink tassels.

Compliments to David Haywood.
Dr Cullen's cranial measurement paradox is a great way to explain Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to those tracks. Thanks for uploading them Russell and of course Thom. Great vibes. The loss of funding is a crime. By the sounds of it, that's exactly the type of thing that should be being funded.
