Cool, but this is a Java applet?
Something must be very wrong indeed.

July 21st, 2010
This week I’ve been looking for interesting sounds to use in a music project. First is a recording of the Sea Organ in Zadar, Croatia. The organ was designed by Nikola Bašić and opened in 2005. It uses wind and wave power to continuously play a system of polyethelene pipes.
Second, I found a recording of the erruption of Mt St Helens made in 1980. It is the information about the recording that makes it interesting. The recording was made 140 miles from the volcano and you hear several low-frequency thuds — these were shock waves from the erruption that bounced back from different layers in the atmosphere.
And this sample of some innocently boiling puree just sounds unpleasant!

Android test post
July 11th, 2010Hey, I don’t have anything particular to say but I can say it from my Android phone, which is pretty groovy.
You know, it’s not about the message any more, it’s all about the medium.
I might limit paragraphs to one sentence, in honour of the Sun’s editorial style.

Site upgrade
July 10th, 2010
After long since giving up plans to upgrade my homegrown site, I’ve upgraded to WordPress.
More like replaced the site because I’ve made no real attempt to migrate the old site data. (Happy days for 404s.) Most of the old content can happily go to seed and I’ll replace some of the photos on Flickr instead.
There you go. No one reads this anyway…
