Geeky Webby Stuff

I’m lovin Dave’s WordPress pluging Spam Karma which is really kickin’ butt keepin’ my email inbox clear of junk. I was gettin’ so many comment spam, that every time I saw a comment, I stopped even expecting it to be from one of you lovely listeners. If you use wordpress, check out Spam Karma.

There’s plenty to talk about in this show. Joan was my lovely bride’s granny (and my Boys’ great grandmother). She had an excellent bold sense of humour. Cheeky is the word that fits here in England. Weird how family makes you feel “connected”. Lucy and I are missing Granny & Granddad. Geographically, they were our closest relatives. Still, I’ve found it very rewarding and enjoyable talking to my brother on the phone lately.

I had a bit of my talking where my mind went blank and I couldln’t remember a name I was trying to dig out of my memory. I know to just keep talking and pause and say stuff again so I can edit it all out. But this time I was talking slowly as my brain “swapped and paged”. I tried to edit the word “in” to speed it up but Audacity made me sound like a chimpmunk. I tried chopping the ending of the word, leaving the length I wanted then fading out. But the inflection at the end was needed for it to sound right. Finally, I chopped the middle, leaving the inflections in place for the beginning and end… and… ta-da! Success! I’d love to tell you the exact minute and second in the show where you can listen to this amazing feat of audio special effects, but… Alas… I chopped the whole bit and rerecorded it in the end! Ha!
