I had a dental appointment today, and (despite it’s very low battery) decided to take the ‘pod along to give me something to listen to behind the whine and grand of the drill. Shudder.
Surprisingly, the battery lasted all the way through the hour+ appointment, and I got to listen to some backlogged Gilmor Gang from IT Conversations. Cool!
Despite the occasional requests and comments from the dentist, and the inevitable experiments in bone-conduction, I found that I was able to follow the show and it really made the time go by faster.
Ok, so this is the part where Jodi starts rolling her eyes in dramatic fashion, but I’ve succumbed to the temptation of responding in audio to Dave Slusher’s latest Evil Genius Chronicles audio post. So of course I couldn’t just record it, I had to give it a name:
I figured out a better solution for doing the audio blog thing. It’s based somewhat on the system that Hugo Schotmann got going, and works pretty well. Dave Slusher is using the same system now for EGC, and notes in his latest audio post that there is some echoey stuff going on in the headphones. I had the same thing, but I think I got distracted by it, where Dave seems to have done just fine.
The trouble I’m having right now is that the drive makes too much noise when chewing through audio data, and without a proper external mic, I get all kinds of whiney noise in the recording. Grr.
