What I hate most on the internet these days

[2010-02-18]

Is noise. Video's that start to play when you open a page. When surfing, reading my email or RSS feeds, I open lot's of pages all in new Firefox tabs. A nice and quiet morning, listening to some subtle music, all off a sudden I hear an awfull lot of noise.

Apparently 2 of these tabs have video's on them, so I now hear 2 video's at the same time. In 2 of those 25 tabs that are open. Have to browse through all of these tabs to find out which are the one's, and close them immediately.

I don't like people shouting in my ears.

But I'm woken up now.

Wordpress google-inline-docs TypeError: docs is undefined

[2010-02-11]

Got an error in my Google Inline Docs plugin for wordpress:

TypeError: docs is undefined

Scratched my head, but it turned out that I had to compile PHP (on Gentoo) with the ctype useflag enabled.

Maybe this helps someone

Listen to Amazon audio samples on Linux

[2009-11-29]

I use Firefox on Gentoo Linux. And I am quite a frequent Amazon shopper. But as a Linux user they make it pretty hard to listen to audio samples for a lot of CD's. Sure, they only support Mac or Windows. But the funny thing is, it works great on Firefox on Gentoo too.

You only need to make sure you have www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer installed. And you need to install the Firefox User Agent switcher plugin, and fake you're using Firefox on Windows.

Some tracks I did in 2000

[2009-08-31]

I happened to stumble upon some old treated fieldrecordings that I did way back in 2000. The recordings are treated using analog equipment (an old Stratos synth and some awfully connected mixers with feedback) and an old Comodore Amiga. You can download the tracks here and here.

Zoom H4n

[2009-07-18]

I got myself a nice present yesterday, the Zoom H4n, which I will use doing fieldrecordings. So far, my first impressions are really good. It has 2 XLR-1/4" combo jack inputs, and a 1/8" stereo jack (plug- in powered) external mic input, whick makes it pretty ideal for the use with my home made microphones.
