A video about Greece. Rather one sided, but what can I say? 

Thanks guys! ^_^

And oh... happy birthday to limpfish for his recent birthday! I tend to forget about things these days... 

i'd marry anyone who can play like that 

Marry her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUVCGsWhwHU&feature=relmfu

If you're a male you could marry him instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTaiDHqs5s

And if you want a couple, marry me and my wife: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5kDFtqonwg (bad quaity video, BEWARE!)

PS. The Blackwater Gospel was AWESOME!

Thanks for replying above!

Another quick question, if I may.

I'm using Finale 2010 on a dual screen setup. Sadly the coders didn't not think make manual placement of sub-windows possible, so everytime I'm opening a new window/dialogue/etc it's in the middle of the setup, which is... the seperation of the two screens!

The software cannot fix that currently.

Is there a way to control it perhaps?

Here are two screenshots of the dual monitor setup: www.nikolas-sideris.com/AGS/finale1.jpg
www.nikolas-sideris.com/AGS/finale2.jpg (in full size both).

There is the ultramon, but anything else? Perhaps free?

Dang! Yes, sorry... I meant 2 intervals, not 2 notes. Obviously for 2 notes, you need 1 interval and thus you would end up at no. 12.

wonkyth: Yes and no... :-/

There is the twelve-tone technique, but it's hardly related.

Imagine this (if it can help): a huge orchestra is playing a series of notes. All with the same duration. And the listener cannot find a single motif to be repeated, a single idea to be repeated. Just a very long array of permutations of notes... That doesn't stop. Nothing to latch on. With no logic behind it, no musical logic, no other logic! (Only there is the logic to avoid repeated material at all cost).

That kind of thing... So it's actually the deconstruction of musical logic I'm interested in, rather than the other way!

[TWO]

Two sequences of TWO notes are a repetition. And yes it's not indifinite, I know that!

I think that the solution could be to have 22*22 (but that's impossible as well... Eventually you'll run into a dead end).

So I would be looking for anything that I can stop at any point and say "it's enough". This is for a part of a work, so it doesn't have to be complete. Plus with the right accents (so if you start a strong beat on 24-28-23 and later on you go to 28-23-something else... It might be tricky but the mind can't keep the pitch information for too long I think).

One of my problems in GWBasic and generally when coding is that I don't know how to 'keep track what's been done already'. So if you asked me to take on a phonebook and search for a name, I would go blindly until I found the name, or somehow go closer to the name little by little, but not crossing out names already done... (

I'd also bet it would be the sudden rush of sugar. Try this: Make some sugar water, with tons of water and drink it. If it brings headaches then you're done. If not then you might want to research a little further.

A (serious) problem of my own please.

________________________________________

I have a math problem, which needs coding, but can't solve it myself. tried in GWBasic (laugh all you want) and I can't get any further.

I'm looking to make an 'undefinite' (not really) strings of pitches/notes which have no repeated elements in them.

The way that music works is that the human mind can make the connection with previously heard pitches, or similar note connections. So if we assume that the 12 notes are numbered 1-12 then having 1-3-5 and then 6-8-10 would be faulty, because the intervals (space between the notes) is the same in every case.

So... *I think* that the following are the conditions:

1. Notes are numbered from 1-88 (from A0 to C8 or something).
2. I need to be able to define how many notes will be in the series I will get. (from 2 to however many is possible. It's not infinite actually. After a while you're forced to repeat a pattern and thus *BAM!*)
3. I cannot repeat the same note twice in a row (so the series cannot be 1-45-23-23-35-whatever).
4. The notes cannot move higher or lower than 11. (Since the octave is 12 semitones, thus 12 in an interval), you can't go 8-20 (since it's the same note an octave higher), or 22-10 (for the same reason,  but lower).
5. I need to be able to input the starting note (from 1 to 88).
6. What else do we need? The series must have a random effect, but it's not random by any means, with so many rules above... S

If someone is interested in building a code for me? I think that it can't be too difficult. I would be even interested in paying a small sum (30$ or something) to someone who does this for me... :-/

Perhaps there's more info to be needed, but I can't recall anything right now. We need to contact in PM, or MSN, or other...

Thanks

Thanks Vince! That's it!

I'm also looking for a game. It was in a sea, like flash based (I think it wasn't flash but looked as such). The game was a sort of an experiment on games from a student. The idea was to eat something and grow longer (as a sort of a snake), and once you did, you could move faster, go lower and so on... It kept going forever but it was a cool little game. Anyone know about it? I think it was posted here...

Man, your friends ARE COOL!

Are you bloody serious??!?! 4 nerds playing mahjong live and you call that COOL?!?!?

Huge Happy birtday to my

Thomas Regin! (the composer of Blackwell Unbound anyone?)

Happy Birthday to Alkis!

Legion it is!

Thank you guys!

Quick question:

I remember a movie about angles attacking men, because God gave up on humans, so he's sending the angels to kill the woman to bear birth to humans' saviour. A fallen arch angel is fighting the ords of God.

What's the name of this movie please?

happy belatted birthday Ben!

[QUESTION and story:]

QUESTION and story: I walked into the office at my work and gave the secretary the peace sign as I approached her desk (I'm always bugging her ).  She told me she believes that in England you'll get your face punched in if you have your hand turned to show your knuckles/palm while giving the peace sign, but with your hand turned around is the correct way.

Completely and utterly true! It basically means "fuck off".

The explanation to this goes quite a few years ago, in some town in England where (at least from what I've heard) they had tons of minners. The minners had accidents, as it usually happens, but in that particular area and mines they would lose the 2nd digit. So when minners would enter into a pub, and they were not wanted they would get the sign of both fingers (the inverted peace sign) and they would know they were not welcomed, since they didn't have the 2nd finger, to do the same.

alternatives offer archers in the place of miners and those who were losers lost the 2nd finger, so they wouldnt' be able to use the bow again (and they were told to "fuck off" in the pub, or elsewhere...)

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Happy very belated birthday to Limpfish and
happy birthday to indieboy as well!

Thank ya all!

Jim: Na 'sai kala!

Ben: Cheers mate

Vince: Now you've done it! How can your dirty little SECRET if you went and told everybody that I am it, huh? 

What do you think about it? All comments welcomed.

Haven't tried it but I think it's an awesome idea, an awesome way, for example, to battle piracy, and a great way to also battle the greed that goes on in all companies! A legal sharing site! Hell YAY!

A pity it's not universal (then again shiping fees would be ridiculous really).

It still looks like it's Chris's birthday so:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE

All the best and may all your wishes come true!
