Kitty Talk
Sympathies, I know exactly what you're going through. Also, cats can sense what you're feeling and thinking. If you anticipate that he will hate it, he will hate it. Try thinking and saying out loud, "it's for your own good", &c. My cat has actually gotten better about receiving his medication (liquid) over the course of the last week. I think the part that he hated the most was me manhandling him, and realized if he struggled less, I'd manhandle him less. Also, I don't feed him until after, and give him treats after as well (he loves Pounce).

What did you do today?
Alright, I gotta ask, what did you think the typo was? I'm coming up blank. And yes, it's a linux/unix geek thing. Conversation went something like this: Product Owner: I want you to write a man page. Me: Can you send me an example? PO: (sends Dusty an example -- it is what the man page looks like, I.E. the result, not the source) Me: (looks at man pages for find, ls, ftp, man, and a couple others) PO: Did that help? Me: Sort of, but I wanted the nroff, not the... PO: (already shaking his head) No no no no no, you don't have to go to that much trouble? Me: Are you kidding? It's easier. I don't have to worry about formatting. PO: Alright, whatever's easiest for you. Me: <3. Okay, that last line didn't happen, but the rest was pretty much verbatim. vi, of course.

Wrote a man page for the software I've been working on for the past umpteen weeks/months.

Binaural Head
How much do the Aachen systems run? I mean, are there even any binaural microphones for <US$2+K? (And I'm pulling that number out of my ass -- I haven't seen any reasonably priced binaural mics at all.) If it comes even close to sounding like a binaural recording, <$300 is definitely more my style.

Binaural Head
Okay, so you know what to literally watch out for. Good, that was my main concern. I am very interested in what results you can obtain, will be monitoring your progress. Heck, if it works out, I might have to try to do the same thing myself.

Binaural Head
What about finding a local body shop that works with fiberglass? You can't just drill fiberglass (well, you can, but...I wouldn't). Also, a binaural head mic actually makes an attempt at modeling the acoustic properties of the ear flaps, reflective properties of the surface, etc. I mean, it'll probably be fine for measurements, I'm just not sure about using it for a binaural mic.

My 1 Year Anniversary...
First of all, I can relate -- I only got my first iPod late last year. Secondly, I didn't even know about the Sort Artist column.

Gun Sub-forum...
I meant that we didn't have an ongoing one, but yeah, we are certainly not short of enthusiasts and other potential audience members. And my previous post was more negative than I intended -- what I really meant was, go ahead and have discussions, we don't need a sub-forum to discuss these things. If we have enough discussion, then we'll consider making the sub-forum.

What are you listening to Part Two
Yes x 2. Thanks.

Will do, thanks.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
I think the court clerk was close enough to stop me.

Being a programmer (probably my main forte, for those that think I'm a goofball at everything), I approve. Will definitely be following this closely.

Gun Sub-forum...
Dudes, we don't even have a gun thread. Perhaps if it was discussed more, it'd be conceivable. As it is, I don't see it.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
I have a question: what the hell is wrong with me? I'd like to have an answer the next time someone hits me on the back of the head and asks me that.

The LCDuino-1 I/O processor - by amb and linuxworks
Welcome linuxworks -- I doubt you'll have to worry too much about your thin skin or ducking shovels, but be aware that they fly about quite a bit, willy nilly even. Yes, people are virtually flayed (and filleted) here. So...sorry if you have a weak stomach to observe such things, even if from the sidelines.

Post the last thing you bought!
First of all, hurray! But what I meant was, I didn't think you believed in high-end caps such as BlackGates and wax and oil and stuff, not that you didn't believe in building stuff for yourself.

Anything interesting to do around Scranton, PA?
linky I was just in Philadelphia, and thoroughly enjoyed the Eastern State Penitentiary (famous for being one of the first real jails designed to instill penitence), but I don't know if it's worth taking 5 hours out of your day to do. I'd avoid Centralia.

What are you listening to Part Two
PS Some really delicious tone on that bass. Anneke van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh, In Parallel -- acoustic live set, lotta covers (Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton, really?)

What are you listening to Part Two
(a) I kind of hate people who make it look so easy; ( They kind of rock; © Who is she reminding me of, vocally? Specifically that semi-high note that she hits about 0:15-0:16? And then again when she's harmonizing with herself ~0:40-0:46? (d) She is easy on the eyes, isn't she? (e) What headphones are they using?
