Vargomax V. V. is 100% HSE (ok also that SIGBOVIK video), so you must've read a bit of that too! |

Right, I don't think I ever mentioned what I liked about NOABTOB. After 5 years the things I remember most strongly are:
- "shut up"
- opals
- Vargomax V. Vargomax
Still haven't gotten to HSE, but it's on my shelf here with 79 other books I need to get to. |

[ New! Escape 200704130 ]
Yeah, we already have some multi-block action with steel, but nothing you could do tetris with. I don't think it's inherently incompatible with the way Escape is set up, but the interactions with panels would probably lead to some oddities. But probably no more odd than steel. I think the right way for it to work would be like mud and tar work in DROD, which is that adjacent stuff always sticks together (in fact the sticking would just be presentational; the point is when you try to push it the entire connected piece needs to be able to move, period). You could have a couple different colors of stuff that did not stick with each other. But tetris is going to be out anyway because I'm quite confident that rotations would be a total nightmare.
I only played the demo of Fish Fillets but it was superb. It's on my list. |

jf: Happy to invade your dreams and provide agreeable soundtracks / art-ifacts.
a: Thanks! I like Petrolatum better, and part of what I like about it are those weird chords, but as much as I like to identify idioms and tricks so that I can use them, I also like to do it so that I can avoid them. I don't want to get in ruts. The way I made this song was literally to click randomly in the first measure to set up some kind of rhythmic garbage and then drag and delete notes until it sounded pretty okay (that's measures one and two). Then I determined a single thing that I liked about it, which is that descending series of chords about 2/3 of the way through the measure, and tried to isolate it (that's the part where it starts to kick ass in measure 3). Keep in mind these measures are really long because of the stupid time signature. And by that time I was pretty much committed to the song being rhythmically weird, so I made the chorus also rhythmically weird but as sing-songy as I could manage. Many songs have failed in my hands from being weird in too many ways. Re: Reverb: You mean when the first notes kick in? It does seem a little bit weird then. I think it is actually some kind of MIDI lag in Sonar, because it's my SC-880 generating the noises. Cubase doesn't work in Vista, grumble.
Also thanks on NOABTOB. I'm mildly embarrassed about that one but I am happy that people continue to enjoy it. I had already fixed some of those typos for 2nd edition, but I appreciate bug reports of all sorts.
s: I'd recommend starting with His Sophomoric Effort, though I guess NOABTOB has its moments. Neither has any sexing, sorry!
s/g: Oh yikes! I fixed it and now everything is perfect! |

I took SAT in Spring 08 got 1230 on math and reading combined, did well on writing, so I want to retake the test and not answer writing parts...rest during those sections... trying to do very well on Math and Reading since the school I wish to attend only looks at math and reading when determining scholarship money.....Has anyone else taken only certain parts of the SAT to better your scores in those parts only? Do colleges still take the best scores from different parts and combine them to give you top score? |

Tom, I am your second biggest fan, behind only Mr. Adhesion. As a nitpicky thing, once you click on a category, the comment links don't work. To put this in perspective, though, everything else you have ever done is wholly perfect, including this song. |

The more gay sex, the better the book. Never-the-less, I do still plan to read NOABTOB one of these days... |

Very cool, I like the weird rhythms and the little noise rush towards the beginning. I was actually expecting it to have more chromatic stuff/weird chords like Petrolatum does (which I also love). I've noticed my music trending in the more-chromaticism direction too. Both make good Obama celebration music as well.
And now a totally random tangent made slightly ironic by its content: I just finished reading NOABTOB, and holy shit it is hilarious, I love it. Favorite parts: plume of dust with blinking lights in it, opals, "Govno!" It reminded me of a clearer, funnier Naked Lunch without all the gay sex etc. I'm even tempted to buy a copy so I can read it in non-workplace places, preferably places where bursting out laughing will not cause detrimental bureaucratic changes in my life. Did you see that Lulu changed their prices around a bit? Hooray for financial crises!
A couple nitpicky things about it: there were a couple typos I saw (councilmebers & pass times on p110, infa-red on p148) unless those were intentional and like totally postmodern or something. I think there was some missing capitalization somewhere soon around/after p110 but I'll have to look for it.
And one last nitpicky thing to go full circle: Many Happy Returns has the ubiquitous Cubase (I assume, I've seen this before in Nuendo) problem of "reverb tail appearing at beginning of song for mysterious reasons". It adds a nice touch. |

Speaking of new tiles, the recent level Bob10 made me think about multi-tile pushables (ideally any size and shape, just moves as one)
If you've played Fish Fillets, you should have some idea of what kind of stuff you can do with this. Of course, it's a bit different with gravity.
As for the implementation, true FF style would be cool but harder to implement properly in this context (flipping a central piece twice should probably break a large block in two individual objects, and then join them again). A more simplistic version would be regular single-tile blocks that stick to each other, but can be freed with bombs or panels.
Anyway, just throwing ideas around :-) |

I dreamed that I was jogging through a mall, in a hurry to catch a plane to Japan. You appeared with a guitar and improvised a song about mall-jogging. It was such a hit that it was playing on the store's Muzak system by the time I made it to the exit. It was a great progression and a great melody, but when I woke up and tried to remember it, my mind kept returning to "Lawn Sky" instead.
Whoa, and a couple of weeks ago I think I dreamed that you were a homemade stained-glass artist. So, good job on your cameos in my unconscious brain. |

The Admissions Counselors at Farmingdale also take into consideration extracurricular activities, awards, community service and recommendations.

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I've had the exact same problem many of you have. I was so worried it was just me. I live in South Florida, I started a job a couple of months ago leasing condos and I was quickly yielded the opportunity to see mold for the first time and learn about things like "toxic mold." I also learned a lot of information the team responsible for destroying the mold. Then about a month ago I had the same thing in my bathroom at home. EEKK! It started with a dark discolouring on my bathroom wall, just outside of the tiled shower, I didn't immediately respond until a small mushroomhead grew from it. I thought I was going to vomit on myself. My house is only three years old, I couldn't imagine there was a leak in the walls so I imagined it was water splashing from the shower or heat and moisture so I made sure to run the fan and only entered the shower on the opposite side when the water wasn't running. And of course, killed the thing with bleach. It worked for about three weeks then literally four days ago it started to come back, yesterday morning three mushrooms emerged and last night they were about three times the size they were yesterday morning. I sprayed them with a bathroom cleaner that contains bleach, left the fan running and left the light on because I believe they flourish in darkness. This morning, they're dead and black and gross. I'm just going to call professionals in to take care of them. That's my suggestion to anyone who can afford it. Hire people to take care of it and usually there's some kind of warranty like if it comes back within a year or something they will come back at no charge or offer follow visits to control the problem.
Good Luck everyone, I know firsthand this is no exciting picnic. |
