Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.

I’m trying to be the relentless dog who will not drop the bone. Believe it, you cannot find everything on the web, and in this case, what I find on the web is something repeated so much, that people accept it as truth. I am calling agents of information literacy to help me find the […]

For this week’s live broadcast of the ds106 group radio shows I came up with an entirely new contraption for managing different sources, in contrat to my previous methods of using Nicecast.
I still prefer using Nicecast, and do so for voice broadcasts or voice mixed with music (DJing)- but in the past I have ran into problems doing it with something like Skype as one of the sources, though I have mixed it in with the application mixer, the missing piece is for someone on Skype to be able to hear back what is on the stream.
The new thing in the mix is the free Icecast broadcastng software, Ladiocast. I cobbled together the approach below with a combination of Tim Owen’s Ladiocast tutorial (critical for setting up Ladiocast) and Scott Lockman’s setup for doing his Second Life to Google Hangout broadcasts.
This post is a long scroller! Go long!

cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I do not know my finch from a grackle- my extent of observing birds is being able to say, “there’s a bird”. During my visit in Vancouver, I was fortunate to spend an outing with my colleague Michelle Lamberson from UBC, who continually astounds many […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by maistora I’m in the darkness, literally and figuratively. I started to write a very depressing, whingy, what the beelp and I doing in life post, and frankly, I bored myself. There you go. There I blog. Really, I have no illumination save the laptop […]

I took a spin on the random button for the ds106 audio asignments and ha ha ha, I got one I had submitted, Character Bird Calls:
Like some people use special whistles to attract birds, your task is to create an 30 second or less audio file that might be used to “call” a particular character from a movie, tv, or real life. It cannot feature voices, but sounds only (try http://freesounds.org). Write a description why this sound would be attractive to the character, why it would be effective (be inventive, write a story about it).
(Stranglely the example I did, Calling Dr Oliver never got added, hmmmm).
So began to consider maybe a pair of characters calling each other, who might that be? My brain mulled back to the childhood TV shows I watched, so here is my bird call (details below the fold) (don’t peek)?
Following remotely from a train as our friends Brian, Keira, Grant bring us from Quebec via ds106 radio not only the sounds of the student protests but the wise words of Harry: @ds106radio "Freedom is fun."
