What a Advertising Day

So I finished up working on my instrument and went straight into coding some advertisement stuff for (e:twisted). Bascially I haven't left this clunky laptop for like 24 hours again. This is how I got "sick last tmie It's about time I got a feather light one tahat I could dance around with. One like these S series vaios Dept=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers




Those advertisements are just the fake demo ones I made. The advertising module has these rotating advertisments sorted by category, with click-thorugh statistics, views statistics, auto-scaling images, and pop up title data. It is pretty high tech, I have to say. It is so super easy to update advertisments and ad new ones with this super easy to use interface.

No fear, you will never see advertisments on elmwoodstrip.com. I would rather cut my arms off. Well, maybe you might see ads for local bands on the radio jorunal, if I ever get a disc jockey that is interested in maintaing that journal.

I kind of wish that stephanie would contact me so that I know what is up for tomorrow. I am totally ready to talk about the site but i don't even know what time. I guess I will just go over to UB at 12 and see what happens. Hpoefully, that isn't too late!!

More pics from the instrument

It basically lights up leds and plays a random series of frequencie sif the potentiometer reading is zero. When the freq is divisable by 54 with no remainder it plays SOS, if you twist the potentiometer it leaves the programmed tune and plays your frequency and turn the red LED to solid and the green flickers with the pattern.





Now to build a circuit board for it.

Night with loritab and electronics

I spe tthe night working on my eletcornics projects. I finally got my intrument to play a little song with the led lighting up along the way. I need more resistors and some other stuff tomorrow. I am also going to learn java so I can work a pik chip and program my cell-phone. It was actually pretty fun once I got to interface with the computer.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

If you play this while watching the animate dgif you get a petty good idea of how the whole night felt.

Art, Links, and poetry

I was searching through the links to the site again and I found one from ice9 poetry The is in the link section. Seems like maybe it's someone from the site or someone I know but I can't place it. Then I was looking at their open mic night which is at Arte Brutale on Main St and I also haven't heard of that. So I searched it on google and came up with this person and her music which is quite good.

Does anyone know more info about this space or these people?

Radio Shack

This is what $38.00 looks like when you convert it into resistors, capacitors, phototransisters, LEDs, speakers, wire, and perfboard.

My new shoes

I decided it was necessary to leave class early as I am so sick. I am going to stop at radioshack to buy my potentiometer and a capacitor.

I overheard people in class talking about this supercool guy, turns out it was jesse. They were amazed at how he etched his web address on his circuit board. The whole circuit thing is crazy, sems like a lot of toxic waste. Today the teacher said not to inhale the puffs of lead smoke coming out of our work, but we wern't really taking any safety precautions.

Having a cold

I am so sick but I have to go to school today which sucks even more. Everyone around me is bound to get sick but I really can't miss class as we have a test on thursday. Ironically, my first quiz in grad school after 3 years.

Then tonight I have to go teach at 6. 3 hours of talking with a sore throat seems like a bad idea.
