I am a tard

Seeing as so many of my friends are linking to this, I thought I'd have a look...

Tres amusante.

Then, I come to this entry:


#17: Kunte still likes the bathroom:

Today Kunte asked me if he could use the bathroom. Since he hadn't already used all his bathroom visits, I let him. Once again, he spent a good 15 minutes in there, but I didn't hear any flushing or gurgling sounds. I knocked on the door and didn't get any response. Finally I opened the door to see what was going on.

Kunte was laying face down in the middle of the bathroom with his eyes closed. Immediately fearing the worst I rushed over to him to see if he was alive. As soon as I sat next to him and started looking for vital signs he sits up and looks at me. In a frantic voice, I asked him if he was alright, if anything was wrong. He smiled and said,

"No I was just sleeping."

"Sleeping?!?", I inquired, "If you needed to take a nap you could have asked to go to the nurse, why are you sleeping in the bathroom".

"Because the tile is cool."


... the thing is... both at home and on holiday (in those tiled bathrooms you get in spanish hotels), I've totally done that... a few times.

Of course, I wait until there's no-one else around so that I don't look like a mentalist.

I don't see what's so odd about it, frankly. The tile is cool.

I also go to sleep with a fan next to my bed, pointing at me, no matter what the temperature as I like the sound and the feel of cool air (it's excellent when you're drunk and feel sick - makes you feel a lot better and able to sleep), I often play a 3hr mp3 soundtrack of rain I put together, and I love the sound of hairdryers and washing machines.

I think anyone who doesn't do these things is missing out.

Another kickarse band from the filthy Wasp Factory stable... go... see!

Spyware

Cripes. Just ran Spybot Search & Destroy and had a good few more problems than I'd have thought.

Mostly reg keys left by spyware (such as Gator) I'd manually removed that weren't doing anything, and cookies from cookie-tracking sites, but I didn't realise Media Player was still sending a fucking UID. I thought I'd fixed that.

Doh.

Well worth a download.

MP3 Mixing

Right, I now have the urge.

Given that I'm not going to get the Technics and Final Scratch that I so dearly require, someone please recommend me some commercial MP3 mixing package that's not utterly tardlike.

I can currently do stuff with two copies of winamp and a varispeed plugin better than half the shite I've seen and am not even faintly afraid of the more technical package, so chop-chop, let Uncle Deathboy know what software he should be getting off Kazaa and he'll start making mix-tapes for you.

hurrah!

Ambience

By popular demand:

pure ambience - deathboy

Wind and rain mixed mostly from the BBC Weather Effects CD by me, for going to sleep to.

ambience and music - deathboy

As above, but with the following collection of music mixed beneath the weather (my fave):

Karmacoma - Massive Attack
Higher than the Sun - a dub symphony in two parts - Primal Scream
Didgeridoo - Aphex Twin
Pioneers of the Warped Groove - the Hypnotist

And, a selection of thunderstorms, not "by me":

There's also that quite poor virtual windchimes flash app I wrote

windchimes

and, suggested by zenmonkeykstop:

boodler

... though you need to be a bit coder-happy to use it as it's *nix based, or needs compiling for 'doze ;)

(I'm downloading DX9 to compile it just now - if I get it built, I'll link to it)


Now, I have to STOP FUCKING PROCRASTINATING and get back to the coding. Damn you, LJ, DAMN YOU...

hah! :)
