I do much (most?) of my reading through my RSS reader (which runs as a subdirectory of darcynorman.net, which, I’d bet, is why my own domain is listed twice above). The stuff listed here is mostly stuff I use directly and regularly, or stuff that got bounced out of my RSS reader for some reason. (or, stuff that’s linked from gruber’s daringfireball.net, most likely…)
I had a bit of a duh/ahah! moment this evening. We’ve been messing around with Nicecast to broadcast audio from Skype and iTunes, and it hit me that it would be able to pick up sound from GarageBand just fine, too. Broadcasting live guitar jams over Radio DS106.
I plugged my guitar into my amp, and connected the headphone jack from the amp to the line-in on my MacBook Pro. I plugged my headphones into the headphone jack on the computer, so I could hear as I “played.”
Mayday, mayday. Can anyone hear me? Over. This is U.S. Station 31. Do you read me? We found something in the ice. We need some help down here. Can anybody hear me? We found something… We found something… We found something…
This almost never happens. But I took the time to nuke old emails that I didn’t need to keep, and dump stuff that is no longer relevant. An inbox cleansing is very cathartic. Merlin would approve. (but it probably won’t last very long…)
I’m changing roles on campus, switching from being an educational technology consultant and instructional designer in the Teaching & Learning Centre, to an IT Partner. I’ll be officially part of the IT department, and will be working closely with the TLC and additional units. We’ll be fleshing out the details in the coming days and weeks, but it’s going to be a fun process. For the first part of the process, I’ll still be in the same office at the TLC, so while things will be changing, they will also be rather familiar.

and, for Jim, here’s a version of the US release from 1956, where they spliced Raymond Burr throughout the movie to explain what was going on, because North American audiences couldn’t read subtitles in 1956:
My ISP, Shaw Cable, has a “High Speed” internet service. It is now capped at 60GB per month. Every GB above that is billed at $2 each. It apparently costs the ISP about 1 penny to move 1GB of data. Real UBB would have my monthly bill increased by approximately 1 penny, rather than $2. Maybe the ISP can make a case for a 10x charge. Fine. So a rational UBB at 10x cost would add 10¢ per GB, rather than $2.
