Babble babble bitch bitch

Going to Bisexual Underground tonight, see some of you there!

I am half-way through writing a DDR file for "This Is The New Shit". I stayed up late working on it and testing it from the keyboard while [livejournal.com profile] spikeylady slept next to me. I can't wait to try it on the mats.

I assume [livejournal.com profile] purplerabbits doesn't know this song or we'd have seen it crop up as a source of titles :-)

I also rewrote the "findbpm" program that comes with Pydance so it used least squares line fitting to find the BPM and offset for the song file, rather than just drawing a line between the first and last dot. It's a big improvement to the accuracy of the results! Should appear in the next version of pydance in a month or so.

I got mine (and mats) from http://www.netpcdirect.co.uk/

The EMS USB2 (which is USB 1.1 BTW) was recommended by the Pydance people, so I got that, and it's worked fine. I got two mats, one didn't work, sent it back, got replacement swiftly. Happy.

I hope my journal isn't dull and repetitive enough to need titles from those lyrics. Also, I am too old to have any truck with Marilyn Manson.

OK, now I have to drag my nose down from the air. You know, that icon looks really weird and disturbing.

So it does.

I don't care about the songs anyway AS I HAVE NOT BEEN INVITED TO COME AND PLAY DDR. Look. Sad faces. :( :( [and so on].

DDR party WILL HAPPEN SOON. But now I want to write some song files first.

Hmm, need an MP3 of Ghostbusters...

Sadly it contains a skip, making it not very useful for DDR...

Eeek .. I didnt notice, sorry.

[identity profile] mr-purpleduck.livejournal.com 2003-12-09 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Could I get a copy of that as well please :-)

[identity profile] skx.livejournal.com 2003-12-09 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
OK restored now.

I'll leave it there for the next hour or so then remove it again.

Got it, thanks.

Blooming geeks. If E-Rotic is good enough for everyone else why must you insist on tainting this with your feel da (lack of) voibe goth trance nonsense? Heavens when I were a lass ect ect...

The magazine also asks which QC, and Tottenham Hotspur supporter, was seen by his instructing solicitor screaming at one home game: "Referee, you are a f****** c***!"

A Football Club? How odd!

Your new picture is very mysterious - a good addition!
