I had a stupidly long day
And I have to do the same but slightly longer tomorrow :(

Lots of cute farmers there though ;) I may have fixed the raffle so a particularly cute one won :p

Doesn't taste quite the same now I know what wine tastes like.

I've only got about 5 bottles left.

Ribena is full of win, but I've recently been converted to Asda's blackcurrant high juice cordial. It tastes even better than the fabled 'bena and is about 1/4 of the price too.

Rock Night
In the shit-hole town I grew up in towards the late 80's, there was one place that didn't play Rick-Cunting-Astley all night in the 80's - The Cherry Tree. This was basically a small club next door to a pub (y'know, the kind that had offers on Mild during the day in order to get the old drunks in), which had an 'Indie' night on one night (when most bands were actually on independant labels), and a 'Rock' night on the following night.

Specific group of people went to these nights, and fuck me, never the twain met. On the rare occasions that they did meet, it was a coin-toss to say who was looking at who with a greater lack of comprehension.

Still, despite being a goth (and therefore an 'Indie' kid), I went to Rock Night and threw meself around a few times - got introduced to 'Rock & Roll' by teh Zep one night, so it couldn't have been all bad.

Yay!
To the indie stylings of The Bastard Fairies, I have successfully conquered Europe.

Now I am going to attempt some poker.

Also I have bought £32 of wine for £18 thanks to Tescos. Huzzah!

Edit: the best part was buying 2 bottles of 7.99 wine in the 2 for £8 promotion.

£32 for £18?
Exelent! Must pop into tescos to-morrow in that case! (Oh and congratulations on the conquering of Europe)

Why thankyou. At some point it became inevitable once my advanced armies had seized most of the European capitals.

viz the £32: It was 3 for £10 and 2 for £8. I only drink red so if you drink white you may have more options.

It's not just me, whenEVER I post a link the board moves the <\a> from after the text to before it, thus rendering the link invisible.

I've edited my post to correct it.

I drink red or white - so Im definately going tomorrow! That game sounds a bit like in civ 4 when you turn up with helicopters and mech inf and such - and just wipe the floor with some idiot that starts on you over trade rights... I gotta say that feeling is great. Meglomania is the best!

Evening all!
I'm in the midst of the first stage of making my mixtape. I'm shortlisting tracks and I've whittled it down to about 3000 I want to share with all you lovely people, so the next job is shortlisting the shortlist. It may have to be a series of loosely themed mixes at this rate.

I'm working on the 'drop some acid and listen to this' mix, the first two tracks are blinding. I'm well indecisive when it comes to this sort of thing though, it will take me ages...

Just had rainbow trout, it was extremely nom!

Kaol is making comics, and I beleive that Light in chains is either losing or winning at online poker..... 3000 tracks eh? Hmmm. That's a lot of tracks
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:04, Reply)

Reality check required
I never listen to the radio so I have no idea if "Great Northern" are a well-known mainstream band or a 30 people in a pub band. Anyone?
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:06, Reply)

That was a guess. It is a lot though
According to Winamp, I have enough music to play for about 15 months, so even 3000 would be a substantial whittling down...

It probably won't be til Friday, but I shall endeavour to complete this gift for all (5 of) the psychedelia fans who post on here!

Never heard of em Light in Chains, although I only listen to the odd bit of Radio 1 when forced to at work (I am trying to ban it in the office but not having much success), what sort of band are they? Googling 'Great Northern' isn't really getting me anywhere

Edit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern_(band) ?

Must be fairly reasonably well known by the looks of that - I know 30 Seconds to Mars anyway, although I didn't particularly rate them.

Sucked at both. Best I stop for now and concentrate on my mixtape.

Hmmm...
My iTunes (yes, boo, hiss, I know) says I've got 15652 songs. Hmmm...
What worries me is that I've got about 300 CDs I've not put on yet...
EDIT: Which is 42.7 days, apparently.

I'm steadily ripping all my CDs to the computer
Since that's what I play most of my music off, and I don't listen to some of the CD stuff enough. It's an ongoing project though.

Then I want to rip all my vinyl, although that will be time consuming as it has to be done in real time! A fair amount of it is duplicates, but for most of it I'd much rather listen to the vinyl mix than the CD remaster (aka massacre in most cases) I've got as mp3 on my computer.
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:14, Reply)

Yeah...
I don't have vinyl, but ripping CDs... Too... Lazy...

Got 'em all in my DJ boxes, hardly ever play 'em, waiting to move somewhere I can have 'em on a shelf, and get a CD player.
( Cawl, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:18, Reply)

Here's an issue
Averaging mp3's to 4MB and arbitrarily assigning 20 to a mix CD means I need 80MB hosting to serve it to b3tans.

I don't have 80MB hosting.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:23, Reply)

Hmmm...
I don't entirely know, but can't you stream stuff via last fm?
( Cawl, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:24, Reply)

Hmmm
So instead of posting a link to my mp3s, post a link to last.fm for each track?
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:27, Reply)

Use one of those file hosting sites
Rapidshare, Megaupload, YouSendIt, etc

If it's separate tracks then just rar it to keep them together.

Or (what I'm planning to do), stick them together so it's one continuous gapless mp3, and maybe provide a .cue file so it burns as multiple tracks for those who want to put it on a CD.
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:29, Reply)

Yeah...
T'would get around the issue.
Might disrupt the flow of it all a bit, but better than nothing!


P.S. I've no idea what last fm is. I heard a couple of mates talking about it...
( Cawl, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:29, Reply)

Last Fm?
It's pretty good actualy. Especialy if you've vaugely heard of someone and want to check them out before buyin an album
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:34, Reply)

Or...
put the mp3s in a directory and either serve that directory via MIrc or upload it to a torrent.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:35, Reply)

You probably won't get enough other people on it to make torrenting it worthwhile really
Those sites I mentioned above will be fine, you don't get amazingly fast download speeds but doesn't really matter when it's only 80MB or so.

I'd rather something downloadable than streamed anyway (assuming it's gonna be half decent :P), then I can keep it!
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Wed 21 Jan 2009, 22:37, Reply)

The advantage of the upload sites
is that we can just download the tracks we want and ignore those we already have, like figurine panini stickers.

quest for fluff
B3tans -

Please show me some fluffies. This day included:

No staff at werk except yours truly
Coordinating press conferences
Helicopters that *break down* when most needed
A server that crashed
Disabled programs that are *crucial*
Me answering the bloody phone all day
A phone call at the end of the day that I shouldn't have received
A computer problem that forced me to return to the office when I'd already left

WTF?

Sorry so ranty. I hope to find the time to write a reply to this week's question that amuses.

Everyone please have a drink for me!

To Kaol: thanks for 'favourite' & I am sorting the mess. All will come round. Cackers hath always been just half-crack't. Is tactical genius and *general*

If I haven't completely lost it by this stage of the game, it's fairly certain I never will. At times have wished I could just achieve full nutter status. But this don't happen - resilent/tough.

*marching* on, as per usual. Life's trench shall never conquer me.

To Light: Is there a way to contribute to this surgery? I am all about animals & doing right. I should support the creature that made this photo possible.

General update: my most valuable player hath been released from civic duties, and will be present onsite tomorrow! This means smooth sailing!

Thank you, B3tans, for fluffies @ huffy cackers. She smiles. And gets back to work. It's just good to be home. Literally wurked every second of this day under extraordinary pressure.

*relief*

Good Night/Good Morning from this side of the Slough.
