"violent style " - now were talking!
cheers
posted by john , 6:41 PM Þ 

Okay, it's late, I'm really tired, and I decided to drag out my copy of Conet to finish listening to it (had gotten up till disc 3 until now). This is all late night tired-as-hell paranoid speculation, but I want to post it anyway.
I stutter. To control my stutter, I would go to clinics (the last one being last July) where I would learn special techniques to control the stutter (this included sharpening your articulators and "transferring" with people in public). The heart of every technique is what's called the "slow stretch." One takes one full breath, and says one or two syllables stretched over that entire breath. It's practice for the articulators and such, and we recorded our progress.
Gradually we would speed the stretch up, to normal talking speed (called "control"). "Medium" stretch was 3-5 syllables in one breath, and the next was "slight," if I remember correcly 5-8 syllables to breath.
Get out your copy of Conet Project, and put in disc three. Turn to track 12.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SLIGHT STRETCH SOUNDS LIKE.

No-one's really told me about the fame thing. I don't aim for that, I just want respect, something I haven't had much of in life so far. That and to do something I really like.
I've barely done any sculpting... but have done lots of paper/canvas work. I have a violent style and like to insert stream-of-consciousness text into it, too. That's at least my current style.
I'm very excited about the prospect of University. No more high school bullshit, hurrah!

as a new england conservatory alum i congratulate
you on going that route. there's no richer road but beware
the temptress of fame et al. it can corrupt wildly and YOU can
get lost in the process quite easly. it's taken me 4 years to get
my creative self back. the group favors the median.
good luck.....i'm sure your head is screwed on right already though as
you probably wonldn't be posting here if it weren't.
sculpting?

new face lift for jonas

Oh my god, that sounds good. Solitary, massively long tracks are greater than orgasm. Really!
I don't have much to say right now, only that I applied for University today. I'll be taking a Bachelor's of Fine Arts... hooray for crazy art people!

actually it's ie5.5 but who's counting :). btw:sbs2000 is
like chewing rocks. i had just made a 500$ support call
to ms and found out that almost the entire first shipment
of sbs2000 was sent out with the wrong keycodes! now that's
corporate caring....to make matters worse the entire install will
run and ONLY THEN will you be notified that the incorrect key
was entered. i can't believe this sh@tty product. shame on
them. it'll eat up all your nntp, smtp and tcp/ip as well during
this install. wish i didn't have to work with this sh@t but you gotta pay
if you want to play.

Big companies are stupid and arrogant. I hate them. Well, not really, I just don't care for them.

Mmm... My Warp order was dispatched today, and my Irdial is on the way. I'm becoming a poor man. Poor poor man. I can't wait to get them. I love obscure CDs.

Also, anyone insane enough to transcribe lyrics should help us out over at the IDM Lyrics page. We specialize in IDM (Intelligent Dance Music - I hate that term, but it has been established so that's what I'll call it, I guess.), but we also do stuff like Acid Jazz, Number reciting ;), etc etc. contribute or die.... Nyuk.

Somebody forgot to tell Alcatel that the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word is a dangerous thing to use when you plan to make the document available online and the publisher of said document doesn't have a clue about how to merge the changes in permanently prior to making it publicly available for all to see. With all of their commentary intact, the document was made available online, and is somewhat enlightening to those that really believe that these companies care about customers. Check out the entirety of Alcatel's classic PR move.

GNUPGP may compile on OSX before the {N}etwork {S} {A}ssociates get round to porting PGP...keep an eye out for it.

This is shaping up to be the only viable alternative to IE5/World subjugation.

That was issue 14 btw.

Rest in peace, Joey.

OS X comes preloaded with an IE preview release. It's pretty flaky, because contrary to apple's claims, when this IE crashes, it often brings the entire system to a thudding end and you have to do a hard reboot.
My terminal somehow got messed up, so I have reinstall the whole thing again. Oh joy.
I'll be installing bash when I get the chance too.
OS X is fun to play around with... you'll enjoy yourselves. It's just too bad there's not pgp I can use for it.

Were really looking forward to trying OSX; we can run all of our legacy Mac apps, and all of the new naitive stuff in a robust and utterly kewl environment. Linux may well be made redundant by OSX, since it does now what Linux will do in another five years.; appeal to the dummies as well as the 3|337. *nix dudez. (and people who need to run ATM) :]

did you write that post in IE for OSX? Or is that not out yet??

It will be a toatl scream to read the millions of posts from the LaMeRs about how they trashed their systems cuz they were logged in as w007 when they were "practicing that horrible command line stuff".

so sorry to tell everone this but
Joey Ramone has passed on.

a loss for all of us.

Whee, got this all working again.
Now talking to you from inside OS X.
It's very pretty and very powerful. I wish someone would make a glide drive for it so I can use my half-decent video card with it.
Too bad the Terminal is very confusing as it is quite uncoventional to my bash-centric brain.

Hail Eris!

I'll have to shell out 100 for a SW radio (canadian). Should I go for it?
