By the way, if you go to do this, you don’t need as many clothes as when you ski downhill. My whole outfit is dripping wet.

False alarm. Cat was playing with the wires and somehow unplugged the adapter from the line to the outlet…

Comment on Garageband distortion in mp3 output by Mark

Seems like the drums can get away with a few jumps into the reds. Many Garageband loops with real drums go into the red at default volume. The higher pitched noises typically need to be pulled back to avoid the problem. I wonder if it has something to do with the rate at which things are sampled and something about how the sampling handles the high end.

Darn. It’s not all gone. Still get a terrible hum with the bass guitar.

[...] sound is not quite as rich as the 7 1 setting on the old Ibanez pedal, but GarageBand automatically adjusts the ping pong echo speed in accordance with the tempo. Not [...]

Comment on Oldie but a goodie by Mark

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were captured by an evildoer, imprisoned in cells with only a whiteboard, whiteboard pens, and a stack of canned goods containing sufficient food and water to survive. The evildoer left the three for three months, then came back to see if any of them had lived.

The engineer was alive, barely. The whiteboard was a mess of scribbles. The engineer’s cell was smeared with food and water where the cans had been bashed open to get at the contents.

The physicist was alive. The whiteboard was full of equations. Each can had been opened with a tiny cut at the top, and the contents carefully removed.

The mathematician was dead. On the whiteboard was an unfinished proof that content can be moved outside its container through a topological deformation in n-space.

Oh, what a surprise!!! Actually, I stumbled upon your blog as I was doing a Google search on Alex Knup, who called me from Nigeria some days ago to get back in touch with me, but whose number didn’t show on my phone’s display. So, as it’s already a bit late for a high-quality overnight translation, let’s just tell you something like “comme quoi, les grands esprits finissent toujours par se rencontrer et se retrouver”, because I’m so happy to get news from you too on that very occasion, and listen to these great historical pieces of music that remind me of the times when we tried to bring sci-fi to the masses via the so-called “Satyricon” newspaper.

Well, as I can notice, you’re still living in France, and remain as creative and open-minded as some 10 years ago. So, I hope we’ll be able to meet again one of these days to pave the way for a better future, or something like that…!

Bye for now & see you soon!
