I'm here to turn the volume up.

Finished watching Hellraiser III, it was excellently crap :) I love things that reek of the 90s. You could tell from the awful font at the very start that you were about to watch some Quality.

Also, this evening, I bought iSequence for the iPod Touch (/iPhone), made a little tune on it in about 20 mins. It's good fun! Another ace toy to make musical sketches with, which I can develop into full songs later.

DeathBoy - Hypnobeat (sketch)

As I say, this was less than a half hour's noodling, uses 5 channels (the app only has 5!), and just 4 patterns, with me riding the volume levels to give it a bit of song texture / bring elements in and out.

(not my video, but a good demo)

The built in soft synth sounds are good, lots of decent lead synths, pads, basslines, etc, and some meaty drum kit noises.

In terms of sequencing, it resembles a tracker with a horizontal time graph.

So yar. Pleasant ending to a basically shit day, thanks to new software toys and awful horror movies.

Just waiting up to see if kirsten appears before I go to bed.

I shall read the next Polity book by Neal Asher, as I just finished the 1st one, Prador Moon, and quite enjoyed it.

Night night, ballbags!

Today's fun webcomic find from IRC:



John and John

It's crude and crass and takes a while to get funny, but has given me a few real belly laughs :)

Quite similar to the often excellent explosm in places.

Objective C warnings

augh!

Any Objective-C coders lend me a hand?

All of my static arrays get warns as being not used (they're all used, trust me).

I think it's a scoping issue, that they're defined in the C-like context, not belonging to any Objective-C object, then referred to within Objective-C classes, but as they're not touched in the context they were created in, they somehow get flagged as unused.

It's not fatal, but it's making a fucking mess of my output window, with hundreds of unnecessary warn lines.

Anyone got a clue?

The Box.

Probably need to get this Hellraiser fixation out of my system sooner rather than later.

I just opened my LJ client to find the unposted phrase:

What's your pleasure, sir?

If I didn't know that it was ME that left that there for ME, having been too drunk, beligerent or just plain weird to not actually post it, I might be quite spooked.

Don't appear to have set my desktop to THE BOX, so that's a winner.

3 movies down, 4 to go, I think.
