Aw, I wanted to be Bono

Adam

You know who you are, both the good and the bad, and you know how to have fun... unfortunately, that sometimes gets you into trouble.


Between a rock and a soft place

Jodi and I found a cool rock gym about 10 minuted from our house - it's also easy to get to from work so on my way home this evening I stopped by and bouldered for an hour or so. Oy! My poor noodle-soft arms! I am NOT in shape, and since Arizona has some of the best climbing in the US, I figured I better get back into shape.


Tape -> MP3

mp3 tags: "" tp_commentcount: "0" tp_favoritecount: "0" tp_urlid: 6a010534988cd3970b0120a5b359aa970c


I'm looking for solution to a particular problem. I have source audio material on cassette tape. Assuming I have a machine with audio inputs, what sort of software (preferably free, or cheap) should I be looking for to:

  • rip the audio in realtime from the sound card to disk,
  • cut the file (it&[#39](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/39);s lecture-style) into manageable portions, and
  • convert the files from (I assume) AIFF to MP3.

    Solutions can be Mac or PC, as I don&[#39](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/39);t yet know where I&[#39](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/39);m going to be doing this. If you have ideas or pointers, please post them, and if there are any particularly good ones I&[#39](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/39);ll point to them here.


  • Media site

    I've started using Radio Userland again recently, and have found that its upstreaming-via-ftp feature is a great way to get file and images onto my static server. That site is now media central for this site.


    A Sort Of Homecoming

    Song of the day: A Sort Of Homecoming.


    Radio Userland, Tools

    Just thought I'd point out that Radio Userland ships soon, and along with it a new era in Frontier-based scripting for those who do not need Frontier as a server platform. Right now I'm developing a Tool that runs unit tests on our internal XML-RPC server. Sweet!


    ATTN Readers and Webloggers: Link Changes

    I've changed the behavior of the links on the post titles on redmonk.net. Clicking the title will now take you to the thread page for that message, which I think is more useful (and prettier too). If you want to view just the message, or link to a post, use the "Msg Link" link just below the post.


    The Tick to be canceled

    Nooooooooooo!! The Tick, Fox's live-action version of the great comic and animated show, is being cancelled. Oh what hath Fox wrought?


    I have nothing to post.

    Radio X

    Brent from Userland wrote up a description as to how Radio Userland 8.0 is a Mac OS X app. I don't know how much Radio is going to cost when it is released, but 8.0 may be the version to bring me back to Frontier.

    blogtracker

    Jim is mocking me... I just re-discovered blogtracker, née the SubHonker Filter. Dan has even has a Mozilla sidebar for it. Joy Joy! Now I can get all these pesky Weblogs out of my bookmarks.


    The Penguin and the Ox

    Doc has a really cool article over on Linux Journal, reporting from MacWorld. BTW Doc, I think someone already has the Ox, I'm not sure. (I can see it in my head, but for the life of me I can't remember where to look for it.)


    Triple Header

    Jodi's at Macworld, so I'm chilling at home tonight, enjoying rented entertainment. The score so far:

    Eager iMac

    One of the things I like about the new iMac. Check out this picture from Chris DiBona - the iMac seems "eager". "Use me!" it says.


    If you're in need of refreshment...

    ...and you're near a Trader Joe's, pick up a four-pack of Virgil's Rootbeer. Good, good, stuff.


    Creative External SoundBlaster

    Found on SlashDot: an external SoundBlaster box from Creative. Looks pretty cool. It's got a bunch of inputs (including midi, optical, two minis - device and mic, and more) and as many or more outputs, including 5.1 surround. Wow. Neat.
