Not Dead!

Posted on Thursday 15 February 2007

Like the title says. :)

I’m going to start contributing again to Orchnestra, a site run by another crazy like me who absolutely loves old console game music and is dedicated to recording them to mp3 so as to make them accessible for things like your car stereo. The procedure he put together basically calls for rerecording the music from the original ripped files, such as the .nsf files for NES music, by playing and recording the output to .wav, and then encoding to mp3. I spent a good deal of time at UF in my last year after finding his site getting procedure straightened out with him for contributing; apparently no one else had been enthusiastic enough about the site to want to help him out with the project. I figured it’d be the perfect way to give back to the community on this sort of thing; I’d been considering the onerous task of doing exactly what he had already gotten a big start on.

It helped keep me from going crazy that last year. That meant alot to me.

At any rate, Shatterhand is entirely done by myself. Vice: Project Doom is mostly done by me when it ends up appearing; I recorded most of the .wavs for him before taking a break because of moving to Orlando with time and such. Now I’m slowly working on Kirby’s Adventure for SNES, for SuperOrchnestra. It’s a rewarding pastime.

In Scouts, the Scoutmaster has suggested that I might think about putting together the old Venture patrol again for older Scouts wanting to get out on high adventure hiking type stuff. I’d have to do most of the planning on where to go with input from the older Scouts who would presumably be interested in such, but I can handle that I think. Finding local stuff that isn’t boring for me and them will be an interesting challenge.

I might go to the range this weekend with Uncle Steven and do some plinking. Should be fun; we’ve got an SKS carbine that we picked up recently for cheap and I’d love to give it a try.

Alot of people seem to be sick recently.  If you are and you’re reading this, get well soon!
