Today I messed about with various samples including some from freesound users Suonho, Moca and Koen - the result is a track called 5seconds. Like the rest of my music it’s yours if you want it. It’s quite bassy, and progressive.

Last night I messed about with some creative commons samples from freesound user Flick3r and the result is a track called Loops - like the rest of my music it’s yours if you want it. It’s totally minimalist.

This is Peedie the budgie.
This is the peedie-cam! I tried streaming video, but the emails from my ISP soon reminded me that there’s been a cap introduced on the bandwidth used these days, so streaming’s out of the window until I upgrade my broadband.
Enjoy Peedie-Cam V1 :)

I have spent this evening playing with a synthesizer, and the result is a track called Woo eee woo woo - simply because that’s what it sounds like to me. It’s yours if you want it.

The mainstay of a lead rack is what’s known as passive protection. Nuts, chocks, hexes and similar. My first item of passive protection is a set of Nuts, model name “Rocks“, by Wild Country.
These are used by climbers by wedging them in tapering cracks in the rock, such that any loading causes the nut to wedge even tighter into the rock, securing the climber against a fall.
As I am building up my first lead rack, it’s a rather expensive business. To keep the costs down, I’ve stayed away from the pretty Anodised Rocks, and purchased the older model - plain, silver Rocks.
I could justify the coloured rocks if I were climbing really hard stuff - choosing the rock based on colour, where colour enumerates width would save a few seconds, and with the hard stuff that could matter.
In 2004, incidents recorded by the England and Wales Mountain Rescue services show head injuries were second only to fractures, second only by one incident. This implies that if I do have to call out mountain rescue while climbing, it’ll likely be the cause of a head injury.
As such, I bought a bright orange helmet. This model comes in many colours, many are more cool, but I’m happy with visibility over style.
The helmet is designed and manufactured by Black Diamond, and it’s model name is the “Half Dome“. Weighing in a 345g it’s quite light, and it seems to be well ventilated.
It’s time for me to build up a so-called “rack”, for lead climbing. I start with one important piece of gear, a 240cm Dyneema sling, by DMM.
This sling will be used to create anchors at the top of climbs or pitches, allowing belay stations to be created, or top-ropes to be set up. Without silngs - no climbing is to be had.
