Caroline and I visited Brick Lane, in East London. We weren’t there on market day, so looking forward to a revisit. We loved the graffiti and the vibe of the place. It’s a bit like Camden Town, but more grungy. It’s not as vibrant, but friendly (despite the grunginess of the area!)
Some of Matthew’s family came down to London for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. We headed down the night before to try and find a good spot to soak up the atmosphere and be a part of the occasion.
While we were on the streets, I did my best to post updates and photos to the website.
We had lots of fun. It was really quite uncomfortable, trying to sleep in a camping chair. It got surprisingly cold in the early hours of the morning, and at about 0500 we were starting to wonder if it was a good idea. As it brightened and warmed, the crowd grew, and we all had fun. The all nighters and new comers got along, sharing experiences, in between stretching to catch a glimpse of royalty.

I've been trying to fiddle about with a 6 channel audio track, trying to get a movie soundtrack without the dialogue. The basic principle is that most of the dialogue is in the centre channel, so inverting left and adding that to right strips the dialogue, but keeps the music (and sound effects). I was using audacity, but the size of the files meant it brought my computer to its knees (because of hard drive access and a stupidly large paging file).
After some searching I found vox, which is a command line tool. It's pretty much like piping text from one tool to another, but with audio 😀 yummm!
The trees down our street had their branches cut back, and now leaves are growing out the stumps. Thats like chopping a man's arms off, and finding fingers growing out his shoulders!
I briefly signed up to graze. I love the concept, but the price is just a bit too high 🙁

Caroline and I had the privilege to be at Ben and Lynn’s wedding. We were really happy to see them starting their life together, along with the rest of their family and friends… Read the rest of this entry »
Wow… just discovered drop box not only keeps deleted files for 30 days, but even a history of changed versions! And these other versions and deleted files don't count against your storage limit.
What’s happening to the Mac Pro?
