I really really like Call of Duty: World At War's Nazi Zombie minigame. It's so good, the most fun I've had playing video games in years.

I'm out of paint. Any suggestions for background color (of the non-box)?

Good In Bed

Special bonus: Hole in the Wall

(Improvised 3/13/2009, with Wiener and Stack). Used a MOTU Ultralite + ART dualpre (for 4 tracks, two on drums, one vocals, one guitar amp).

Such a fun session!

It does seem to relate to one of my processes (ninjamsrv), but still, shouldn't that not be able to bring the system to its knees?

Debian, linux 2.6.18 on a 2.4ghz P4.. bleh. The remote power switching box gets lots of use (every few weeks) as a result.

I ordered a Digilent Nexys2, and have been reading up on HDLs (primarily Verilog since it seems closer to C than VHDL).. Mmmm. Should be fun.

Have a few ideas for things to try, but I won't post them here just yet.

P.S. a song.

Here we go, from the other day -- the mix isn't ideal but it's a start.

Got a bit of projector action with AVS + IRC on it, the music room cleaned up, and lots of fancy abuse of technology happening.

Time to write some more songs though perhaps...

OK in an attempt to post more often I updated my (crappy) web software so that I may update more easily! So hopefully my laziness will succumb to the ease of typing in a web browser.

With that note, here's a song:

On The Molten Airships.

Blammo!

Tada! Might have to paint the rest of the door black...

But I fixed it...

Now with 4 XLR inputs on a breakout cable, and the stock mics wired to their own XLR plug:

Note that the stock mics should not work on anything other than a Zoom H2, since they need approx 1.9v apparently. 48v phantom power might work, but I'm not going to risk frying them...

I opened my Zoom H2 up, removed the 4 mics, connected the wires to a 9 pin serial connector, and put it back together...

Here it is in a picture with the original mics connected to a DB9 plug via speaker wire (it's proof of concept, hey, I know this is crappy).

I'm going to make a DB9 plug to 4x XLR breakout cable today. There is no phantom power (just a piddly 1.9v or so), so it'll have to be used with dynamic mics, but the preamps seem to work fine with the SM57 I have here. Also need to figure out where to connect the XLR's pin 1 (well, it'll go to the DB9 casing, but then on the inside the H2 will need to find a good place to ground that).

If only the (otherwise awesome) ASIO driver supported 4ch input!
