Morning Pan
I should really hop in the shower.
I have an 8.5 hour audio book I was editing. I ran it through the Levelator and discovered the Levelator only does about an hour and a half. I know the answer is to cut the book up, level it, then resplice it but I’m afraid one area may be levelled differently than another.
Any suggestions
I have no experience with Levelator but my guess is that if you will break it into as large pieces as possible, there will be less variation between the average level of those longer sections than there might be over shorter segments.
Then again I liked Southland Tales.
The difference should be slight, if it’s the same reader or readers on each segment, and you’re not also Levellating music or sound FX. I’d try 2 segments and see if it sounds good to you.
Can I have that shake to go?
*shakes*
Come visit us and go outside without a coat. You’ll have get to shake.
In Soviet Russia, shake to have get YOU!
It’s amazing how much travelling one letter will do.
I have a letter going to Colorado. According to Canada Post and the USPS the letter started in Calgary. Went to Vancouver to to cross the border, and is currently in LA.
I think my letter is more travelled than I am.
Well it makes sense cause, see, Colorado is located fairly centrally below Alberta (ok Saskatchewan really, but still) and therefore its actually quicker to go all the way to the southwestern tip of the US as opposed to be sent directly south. See and..cause… also..
Listened to the latest ep. In regards to Jack’s closing, is it wrong that I liked the Sting version of Dune? Yeah it was cheesy but that was half the fun.
The new Celine Dion song… My Harkonnen Sting Will Go On.
Sting? I always liked the Iron Maiden version.
So sitting at the flicks waiting for ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ to begin.
In good news for work, our latest book, only released a week ago has already sold 200 copies on Amazon and is sitting at #10 in SF/F in US and 14 overall in Canada making it our 2nd best seller in that time period (one week).
This is the same book I’ve been doing the audio for for the last month. It’s audio book goes on sale next week. We have high hopes.
It gets to no.10 after selling 200 copies..times are hard.

Other than Hong Kong Phooey and ‘Wallace and Gromit’, what other examples can you think of where the Hero is totally incompetent but the assistant/partner/pet arranges things so they never know that their are incompetent?
Oh and Inspector Gadget of course….

Inspector Gadget was the first thing that came to mind. And in the gender dark ages of the 1950s, Ralph was the bumbling hero, but Alice was the secretly competent one.

Your crap joke for the evening:
One day The Lord came to Adam to pass on some news. “I’ve got some good news and some bad news,” The Lord said.Adam looked at The Lord and said, “Well, give me the good news first.” Smiling, The Lord explained, “I’ve got two new organs for you. One is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things, solve problems, and have intelligent conversations with Eve. The other organ I have for you is called a penis. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now intelligent life form and populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organ to give her children.”Adam, very excited, exclaimed, “These are great gifts you have given me. What could the bad news possibly be?”The Lord looked upon Adam and said with great sorrow, “You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time.”
Since we’re not yet done with the Tennant seasons, and zonked from climbing a mountain this afternoon, I decided we’d pass on the Dr. Who 50th viewings. We paid tribute in our own way, watching two great season 3 episodes: “Blink” and the Ian Holm one.
We finally watched in this evening ourselves. I don’t have enough old school background to have caught all the references to Doctors past, but I did find it quite enjoyable overall.

Hey, Deadpan!
Visit from the parents has been awesome so far. Today we went to church, a volleyball game at one of the local universities, Olive Garden, then home, where we watched the 2009 RSC production of “Hamlet” via Amazon streaming video. Unfortunately, “the very ecstasy of love” for all these fun things caused me to completely forget about assigning Secret Santas. Sorry about that. I’ll get to it tomorrow.
Good night, sweet Deadpan. Parting is such sweet sorrow. 😉
No worries, no hurries, Amy. The cat will mew and dog will have his day.
Shame on the Minnesota parents who made this sign necessary. Kudos to the school officials who put it up.
Happy Monday, Pan!
Mrs. Claus has arrived with my SS assignment. Im so thrilled!
Thank you, Ambassador!
hmmm, I haven’t got my assignment yet. 🙁
Check both your Nucleus and Shaw email accounts, Bunny. 🙂 I’m going to be in and out all day, so I won’t get to everyone’s assignment email this morning, but I will get them all sent out by the end of today.
Ah – I just got the mailer-daemon autoreply telling me that the Nucleus account doesn’t exist. I should have known better. :blush: No worries; I realized that was an old address and re-sent your assignment to the Shaw.ca address.

Oh my God this person on the other end of the phone call i”m on is really stupid. I had to explain my problem several times. He then put me on hold. Came back, and asked me to do something I couldn’t because, that’s what my problem was. *sigh*
40 minutes, most of which was on hold, and three transfers later, I finally got the answer I needed. It was a two minute solution. *sigh*
You had almost 40 minutes of soothing on-hold music, continuously looped in case you wanted to hear it again. Sounds like a relaxing morning to me!
All Deadpan Secret Santa assignments are away! 🙂
Once more unto the holiday shopping, dear friends. :biggrin:
Blind guy goes to see a prostitute , but as he cant see what he is getting and ends up with a pox ridden tart . They go upstairs and she undresses , he runs his hands over her spotty arse . Its ok she says its just a bit of acne . Thank fuck for that I thought it was the price….
Yeah, Brodeur, Scott Stevens, Trottier, Messier, and Brett Hull all need to be higher on that list. Cam Neely, Jeremy Roenick, Grant Fuhr, Jacque Lemaire(?), and Pat LaFontaine all seem to be missing too.
Still, lists like this are always open to debate and disagreement. Overall, it’s pretty well done.
What’s happening on Tuesday? Not a single one of my players are playing. I understand Thursday, since it’s US Thanksgiving but Tuesday? I have some playing on Wednesday though. It’s just strange.

Thanksgiving Week with the Parents, Day 2 was a success. Breakfast at a cafe in the morning, then grocery shopping, then to the post office, then to the movies to see “Thor: The Dark World,” which I really enjoyed. We had a simple supper at home, put my new bookcase together, and watched the first 3 episodes of “Slings and Arrows.” It was a very fun day. 🙂
Good night, Pan.
If you don’t mind, I believe I will add that to my “Things I am thankful for:” list –
“Amy’s Day 2, very fun day.”
🙂
Seconded. Good night, :pan:
Sure, go ahead! 🙂

I really should hit the shower and get dressed.
Your crap joke for the day:
At a medical convention, a male doctor and a female doctor start eyeing each other. The male doctor asks her to dinner and she accepts. As they sit down at the restaurant, she excuses herself to go and wash her hands.
After dinner one thing leads to another and they end up in her hotel bedroom. Just as things get hot the female doctor interrupts and says she has to go and wash her hands. Once she comes back they go for it. After the sex session she gets up and says she is going to wash her hands.As she comes back the male doctor says I bet you are a surgeon.She confirms and asks how he knew.Easy you’re always washing your hands.She then says I bet you’re an Anesthesiologist…Male doctor: Wow how did you guess?….Female doctor: I didn’t feel a thing..
POW!
“Sex session”???
That was a probing joke 😉
Oh how youre needling me with your puns!
That’s what she said!
I don’t think insurance is gonna cover that.

I think #7 is inaccurate. I’d read that he’d had two family dogs, Snoopy and Spike, and that Spike’s personality was the inspiration for Snoopy. It wasn’t until he created Snoopy’s siblings that he named one in honor of Spike. Good grief!
I’ve read “Among Others” and “Asterios Polyp”. they were both quiet good.
I recall the buzz and the subsequent backlash for Asterios Polyp, but never read it for myself.
I remember that. I think the big problem is that people were expecting too much because of all the hype.
Silly me. I read Among Others too… fairly recently in fact. Must be having a blond moment.
I’m surprised you haven’t read “Canticle”, Bunny.
You Canticle me all you want.
what can I say, Jack. I’m a terrible person. 😉
Well, no judgments :), you just seem to have read everything on the SF “Required Reading” list.
I’ve added it to my kindle app just for you
😆 I actually tried to read read it and gave up about 1/4 of the way in. (Blasphemy, I know, I know. . . )
I take that back. I can’t seem to find an eversion of this book. How strange.
Your thanksgiving crap joke:
It was the first time the blonde was eating Thanksgiving dinner without her family. Trying to re-enact the tradition, she prepared a dinner for herself alone. The next day, her mother called to see how everything went. “Oh, mother, I made myself a lovely dinner, but I had so much trouble trying to eat the turkey!” said the daughter. “Did it not taste good?” her mother asked. “I don’t know,” the blonde said. “It wouldn’t sit still!”

I forgot to tell you! The “slimed” divider sound effect in this week’s episode after Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson said, “I don’t know” was a happy accident. One of the few times I’ve ever cracked up while putting the show together.

Is that what the specialist said about that polyp?

Day 3’s activities: leisurely morning at home, art museum visit, light lunch at my favorite local cafe, afternoon downtime and work on computer stuff at home, then dinner and a walk through the local shopping district to look at the holiday window displays. I declare this day a success. I’m sorry it’s the last full day I’ll have to spend with both of my parents (tomorrow starts 4 days in a row of work), but I’m very satisfied with all the fun we’ve had these past 3 days.
Good night, :deadpan:
This is going to be an Unweek, what with holidays and what what. We’ll all have to hold on one more week to find out who wins the Final Cheez Doodle.

Went to this beer and tea shop (yes… I said beer and tea shop) in North Carolina when I was there on vacation. I’ve passed by it every year thinking it was a neighborhood bar. Turns out it is a house that someone converted into an astounding selection of beer and teas. I got off easy at about $30 for 14 beers. I’ve done much worse.

Hey!!
Bazinga!
CW: Day of the Doctor
I enjoyed it.
Yup, it was grand.
Lots of wonderful references for fans of all eras. 😀
Just watched.
Swell!
This is tonight’s Geeks Who Drink bonus question. i imagine Van wouldn’t have had to google:
The first serial featured the Doctor and his granddaughter heading into the past with what two passengers?
I can remember their faces but not the names.
Ah I can hear old age calling my name.
Ian and Barbara of course.
Rama Lama Ding Dong is playing on the TV.
Well that is rather cheesey, a version of Dr Who theme done by a band called Mankind.

I’ve made quite a few of those two.
Oh and asked elsewhere:
Other than Hong Kong Phooey and ‘Wallace and Gromit’, what other examples can you think of where the Hero is totally incompetent but the assistant/partner/pet arranges things so they never know that their are incompetent?
Oh and Inspector Gadget of course….
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half century.
Inspector Gadget was the first thing that came to mind. And in the gender dark ages of the 1950s, Ralph was the bumbling hero, but Alice was the secretly competent one.
Inspector Clousseau?
Your crap joke for the evening:
One day The Lord came to Adam to pass on some news. “I’ve got some good news and some bad news,” The Lord said.Adam looked at The Lord and said, “Well, give me the good news first.” Smiling, The Lord explained, “I’ve got two new organs for you. One is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things, solve problems, and have intelligent conversations with Eve. The other organ I have for you is called a penis. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now intelligent life form and populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organ to give her children.”Adam, very excited, exclaimed, “These are great gifts you have given me. What could the bad news possibly be?”The Lord looked upon Adam and said with great sorrow, “You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time.”
I’ll get you your fig leaf.

Since we’re not yet done with the Tennant seasons, and zonked from climbing a mountain this afternoon, I decided we’d pass on the Dr. Who 50th viewings. We paid tribute in our own way, watching two great season 3 episodes: “Blink” and the Ian Holm one.
We finally watched in this evening ourselves. I don’t have enough old school background to have caught all the references to Doctors past, but I did find it quite enjoyable overall.

You sure that’s not Kate Bush in disguise? Sure sounds like it.
Love it! Im not even going to pull an “up and coming” joke here.
Or did I…?
I miss Kate Bush. I’m glad someone is doing her.
Wait … that’s not what I meant.
Doing her music.

Hey, Deadpan!
Visit from the parents has been awesome so far. Today we went to church, a volleyball game at one of the local universities, Olive Garden, then home, where we watched the 2009 RSC production of “Hamlet” via Amazon streaming video. Unfortunately, “the very ecstasy of love” for all these fun things caused me to completely forget about assigning Secret Santas. Sorry about that. I’ll get to it tomorrow.
Good night, sweet Deadpan. Parting is such sweet sorrow. 😉
No worries, no hurries, Amy. The cat will mew and dog will have his day.

OK, so I think #10 is pretty common in the US. Van, what do they say in the UK?
http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/Top-ten-words-the-Irish-use-that-never-fail-to-confuse-Americans-167418095.html
Stuffed as well, although it can also mean things going wrong (similar to I’m screwed).
“Therefore your sneakers shall be known as runners”
Well, really, is sneakers supposed to be a more sensible word? While I don’t see myself adopting that one, runners certainly seems a better fit.
I have to agree with number 10 as well, Jack. Apparently New Yorkers must have a limited vocabulary if they’re not familiar with that one.
But – boot? I thought everyone in the UK used that word for the back end of the car where you put stuff.

Well, reading the article, I say it sounds like a case of sour grapes.

Happy Monday, Pan!
Mrs. Claus has arrived with my SS assignment. Im so thrilled!
Thank you, Ambassador!
hmmm, I haven’t got my assignment yet. 🙁
Check both your Nucleus and Shaw email accounts, Bunny. 🙂 I’m going to be in and out all day, so I won’t get to everyone’s assignment email this morning, but I will get them all sent out by the end of today.
Ah – I just got the mailer-daemon autoreply telling me that the Nucleus account doesn’t exist. I should have known better. :blush: No worries; I realized that was an old address and re-sent your assignment to the Shaw.ca address.
Yup. Got it now Amy. Thanks
Just checked, mine came through.

Oh my God this person on the other end of the phone call i”m on is really stupid. I had to explain my problem several times. He then put me on hold. Came back, and asked me to do something I couldn’t because, that’s what my problem was. *sigh*
40 minutes, most of which was on hold, and three transfers later, I finally got the answer I needed. It was a two minute solution. *sigh*
You had almost 40 minutes of soothing on-hold music, continuously looped in case you wanted to hear it again. Sounds like a relaxing morning to me!

Still, lists like this are always open to debate and disagreement. Overall, it’s pretty well done.

I think Lo Pan will poop his kilt when he sees Peelander-Z. Pixie and I watched “Mad Tiger”, and it was pretty magical.

Thanksgiving Week with the Parents, Day 2 was a success. Breakfast at a cafe in the morning, then grocery shopping, then to the post office, then to the movies to see “Thor: The Dark World,” which I really enjoyed. We had a simple supper at home, put my new bookcase together, and watched the first 3 episodes of “Slings and Arrows.” It was a very fun day. 🙂
Good night, Pan.
If you don’t mind, I believe I will add that to my “Things I am thankful for:” list –
“Amy’s Day 2, very fun day.”
🙂
Seconded. Good night, :pan:
Sure, go ahead! 🙂

Your crap joke for the day:
At a medical convention, a male doctor and a female doctor start eyeing each other. The male doctor asks her to dinner and she accepts. As they sit down at the restaurant, she excuses herself to go and wash her hands.
After dinner one thing leads to another and they end up in her hotel bedroom. Just as things get hot the female doctor interrupts and says she has to go and wash her hands. Once she comes back they go for it. After the sex session she gets up and says she is going to wash her hands.As she comes back the male doctor says I bet you are a surgeon.She confirms and asks how he knew.Easy you’re always washing your hands.She then says I bet you’re an Anesthesiologist…Male doctor: Wow how did you guess?….Female doctor: I didn’t feel a thing..
POW!
“Sex session”???
That was a probing joke 😉
Oh how youre needling me with your puns!
That’s what she said!
I don’t think insurance is gonna cover that.

I think #7 is inaccurate. I’d read that he’d had two family dogs, Snoopy and Spike, and that Spike’s personality was the inspiration for Snoopy. It wasn’t until he created Snoopy’s siblings that he named one in honor of Spike. Good grief!

Haven’t read any of them
A Canticle for Leibowitz is a classic.
I’ve read “Among Others” and “Asterios Polyp”. they were both quiet good.
I recall the buzz and the subsequent backlash for Asterios Polyp, but never read it for myself.
I remember that. I think the big problem is that people were expecting too much because of all the hype.
Silly me. I read Among Others too… fairly recently in fact. Must be having a blond moment.
I’m surprised you haven’t read “Canticle”, Bunny.
You Canticle me all you want.
what can I say, Jack. I’m a terrible person. 😉
Well, no judgments :), you just seem to have read everything on the SF “Required Reading” list.
I’ve added it to my kindle app just for you
😆 I actually tried to read read it and gave up about 1/4 of the way in. (Blasphemy, I know, I know. . . )
I take that back. I can’t seem to find an eversion of this book. How strange.
Your thanksgiving crap joke:
It was the first time the blonde was eating Thanksgiving dinner without her family. Trying to re-enact the tradition, she prepared a dinner for herself alone. The next day, her mother called to see how everything went. “Oh, mother, I made myself a lovely dinner, but I had so much trouble trying to eat the turkey!” said the daughter. “Did it not taste good?” her mother asked. “I don’t know,” the blonde said. “It wouldn’t sit still!”

I forgot to tell you! The “slimed” divider sound effect in this week’s episode after Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson said, “I don’t know” was a happy accident. One of the few times I’ve ever cracked up while putting the show together.
Thats a thumbs up~!
Is that what the specialist said about that polyp?

Day 3’s activities: leisurely morning at home, art museum visit, light lunch at my favorite local cafe, afternoon downtime and work on computer stuff at home, then dinner and a walk through the local shopping district to look at the holiday window displays. I declare this day a success. I’m sorry it’s the last full day I’ll have to spend with both of my parents (tomorrow starts 4 days in a row of work), but I’m very satisfied with all the fun we’ve had these past 3 days.
Good night, :deadpan:

Hello, beloved friends. I miss you guys! Life, ammiright?
I have simmered the brine, which is cooling, and am now making stock from the turkey necks left over from our super-fun Civil Union party this Fall. It smells yummy in here. My mom-in-law is about to make menudo and posole – the latter for me and my sis-in-law. Lawdy.

Went to this beer and tea shop (yes… I said beer and tea shop) in North Carolina when I was there on vacation. I’ve passed by it every year thinking it was a neighborhood bar. Turns out it is a house that someone converted into an astounding selection of beer and teas. I got off easy at about $30 for 14 beers. I’ve done much worse.
