Also, thx for the kind works, Barreh!

Mmm... PGP...
I made a song today. It's such fun making music. I love it. Even though I'm terrible & the music sucks. Some day I'll put it online so you can all be tormented with it! Ain't I lovable?

Unbelievable: HMG adopts PGP!


"the UKGovernment is to implement encryption technology to enable secure e-mail communication between its departments, a move that could save taxpayer's money and increase efficiency.

PGP Security last week said it was to supply government departments with a 128-bit version of its PGP for HMG encryption product.

It said the product would provide encryption technology at the approved baseline/ restricted level which would enable government bodies and commercial partners to communicate securely.

"Any government information that is sensitive is not sent electronically, instead it is saved on a disc and physically taken to the other department - at the taxpayer's expense," said Mark Tucker, sales manager for PGP. The company said version 6.0 of PGP for HMG will be fully inter-operable with its commercial counterpart.

"The sheer volume of restricted information that governments need to transfer electronically means they need a solution they can trust," said John Doody, head of customer services at the government's National Technical Information Security Authority.

Oh my, a lot of posts here these days. Sorry for being a bit late, but

S Prazdnikom 1 Maya!




... So that's where you've been, Barreh. You don't even answer my email at all. But good luck on the portfolio anyway =) I love you, man. These days I've been getting into trying to make some music. I found this really great app for my Mac that'll let me open random files as soundfiles & do funny stuff to them. So this week I've been collecting all kinds of weird sounds from my harddrive. I swear, some of it is pretty uncanny. I have this disc-image, containing SID files. It's completely full + it's compressed. A SID file is a little machine-code program for the MOS 6581 and MOS 6510 processors of the Commodore 64 (SID means Sound Interface Device). Anyway, this is basically just garble. But I opened the 200MB file in SoundHack, and I find all these little sped up tunes at random places in the noise. They shouldn't be there! Straaange!

Also, as a result of the total coolness of random accidents, this record I've had lying around for a couple years, my brother bought it at a garagesale for like 5 cents, there are actually tracks from the Irdial Discs roster on it! Yay! It's the Ambient House compilation from DFC (Dance Floor Corporation). The tracks are Aqua Regia - N.Y.C. Smile on me and Aqua Regia - Aqueanosolo. Other tracks include The Orb - A Huge Ever-growing Brain that Rules the World from the Centre of the Ultra-world and The KLF - Last Train to Transcentral (It contains a lovely intro with a train that scares the shit outta my cats). The question is, when was this record released? It doesn't say on it. I assume around 1990 or so. Not that I plan to sell it, but what's it worth? It's in very good condition. No scratches & slight dents on the cover.

Sorry for the long blog, I just had so much to say... =)

Good luck on getting into Kanada. We're a half-decent country. Just stay away from the hicks. Their minds are so closed that you can smell the mustiness on them.
I spent the last three days working STRAIGHT (ie other than eating and sleeping, I was working) on my portfolio. I finally got it in, but not before I had to go through a massive parking ordeal, a windy day to make me sail away with the portfolio, and having to write a "Why I Want to Enter the Program..." paper which I was NOT told about. But it's in. Wish me luck.
Exhausted but stimulated with working, I went to bed at about 1 am on Sunday but stayed up till 3 fiddling with my peeceoschitt™ SW radio (wait, there's a couple hours of free time, albeit not the way most people would use it...). I found an incredibly large amount (like, FIVE!) of number stations, though they were vastly outnumbered by evangelical programmes (and if you let SATAN into YOUR home...).
I taped them on my sony mini-tape thingy. A few of them, now that I listen to them in a not-exhausted state, are merely radio interference. But I did tape some definite weirdness going on. There are two morse and three noise ones (I have yet to verify if the one I found at approx 4.1 is teh Buzzer). Right at the bottom of the spectrum, at around 1 to 2 kHz, I found a REALLY fucked one and made a long recording.
I plan on starting a website where people can upload (low-qual) mp3 encodings of "number hunts."
Sound like a good idea, folks?

Also, I'm starting to think one word but type another (ie "pieces" instead of "people"). I'm doing the same thing with writing and even speaking. It's starting to worry me.

Mobile Photography


High-quality telephones are only half the story. The DoCoMo store also featured a range of more specialized mobile Internet appliances. The two examples shown here are intended for mobile photography. Camessepetit and Eggy both let users snap photos, which they can then decorate with cartoonish overlays and transmit to others who are using similar devices or regular i-mode telephones.

Camessepetit (left) and Eggy (right) mobile photography products from DoCoMo
Camessepetit is clearly intended for children, and I applaud DoCoMo for shipping simplified mobile products for this demanding user population.

Eggy also does digital movies but seems more nerdy. How can I apply the term "nerdy" to a product named "Eggy"? Well, anything with buttons labeled mode, menu, and shift definitely has nerdy tendencies, regardless of what it's called. Maybe DoCoMo should have applied a little more usability to Eggy before it was released.

Well well wellie well well!! How long do you think that we will have to wait for these incredibly beautiful useful and fun phonez to reach our shores? probably never is the answer, and that my friends, SUCKS.

The report of the Demise of The Buzzer was premature; we check the buzzer every day, and the day that we thought it had gone west, it actually became audible extremely late in the day. This may have been to the coronal mass ejections / sunsopots that have been blasting the earth this month.

Normally, we can start to hear The Buzzer late in the afternoon, but that day, it started to become barely audible at around 7ish, which is *really* late. As soon as we heard the Buzzer in its normal place, we n00ked the post, which accounts for the blotting out...
