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.

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.
Hello from Shawlands.
I’ve moved flat, and changed jobs. Been a busy couple of months. I’m now back in the Boyd Orr building, ironically.
“THE IDEA is to cycle on a recumbent bicycle from Pusan in Korea, to London, ensuring that the route stays between 38 and 52 degrees north. Easier said than done. The biggest challenge facing Rob Thomson won’t be the 4500m passes on the Pamir Highway (highway ‘on the roof of the world’), the fermented horse’s milk in Kyrgyzstan, the scorching heat in western China, or the frigid mid-winter crossing of the Swiss Alps.” - www.14degrees.org
Well,
I noticed a post by Mr Mottram about the “Flock” web browser. I thought I’d install it and give it a shot.
So far it seems lovely, integration of blog posting and del.icio.us ‘favourites’ management.
I’m writing this post from the browser to test it’s blog-posting integration.

Something’s on fire.. on the horizon. Loads of smoke, could be in town…
Scary.

On the way home from my sister’s on the south side, Sophie and I walked to the bus stop. The road became extremely quiet, like a scene from 28 Days Later, and we noticed that policemen had blocked of the road at either end, and we were the only people left.
Silence, no cars, no buses, just the two of us. Suddely, the roaring of motorbike engines appeared and the smell of petrol filled the air. It seems that we encountered the MAG Glasgow easter egg run. Several minutes passed, along with a few thousand motorbikes, and riders in crazy costume.
Over and out,
Kenny
