(OT) How is your weather?
Jeff Leites replied to RABid's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
Maybe the quake was foreshock and the big one is coming... NJ falling into the ocean 😮 wx here in Los Angeles is rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy and cold today. Snow level down to 3,000 feet. A little bit of everything. It was 82 a couple of days ago. -
Sensitivity to cold
Jeff Leites replied to JJTrotta's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
Have you seen a doctor about this? It may be nothing, but it could be something serious. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=cold+extremities -

Reel to digital — Conversion services
Jeff Leites replied to Sundown's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
I'm just wondering if you are trying to get more out than you'd be putting in. I don't know very much but do you need 24-bits to make a copy of a 1/4" tape at 3 3/4 ips or 7 1/2 ips? I digitized my home recordings by borrowing a friends Teac open reel deck (my Sony isn't in good shape), recorded them on my PC as WAV, and burned them to CDs. Good enough for government work 😁 -
I might be the senior citizen here. I learned 1401 Autocoder in school in 1967, BAL and PL/I before graduating. My first job was programming a Burroughs B300 in Advanced Assembler. I retired 17 years ago after a career of programing business applications on mainframes using COBOL and CICS , and A/S400 COBOL. The only programming I do now is an occasional EXCEL VBA app for myself and a friend. But to get to the point, I agree with the others that Python is probably the way to go... at least that's what I hear. I fooled around with it a little on my PC and a Raspberry, but I never found a use for either the Raspberry or Python so I didn't pursue it very far.

Given that the "person" of the year recognition is suppose to represent the person, or thing (in 1982 it was the personal computer) that had the most influence on the news during the year, I believe that this recognition should have gone to Hamas. Note that the recognition is NOT always for an heroic or otherwise good person, after all, in 1938, the person of the year was Hitler, probably the most evil person of the 20th century. Taylor Swift? Are you kidding me? 🤣 🙄

Do you have nostalgic "college music"
Jeff Leites replied to bill5's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
The bands from Philly: Mandrake Memorial (of course) Elizabeth Woodies Truck Stop After that: Jefferson Airplane Simon And Garfunkel Cream Turtles Johnny Rivers Blood, Sweat And Tears There's more I'm sure, but those are the ones that come to mind without much thinking 😁 -
I stream with the TIVO Stream 4K. Input is via my Wi-Fi. Output is HDMI. For my bedroom set, the HDMI goes directly to the TV. The setup in my den is a little more complicated, perhaps due to the age of the equipment, but, the HDMI from the TIVO goes into an HDMI audio extractor which also passes the HDMI from the TIVO to the TV. It's been a lot of years, so I don't remember all the details, but the TV would not pass the audio from the TIVO to my AV receiver (but can be heard on the TV). So, this is where the HDMI audio extractor comes in. It passes the audio from the TIVO to the AV receiver via a TSO (optical fiber cable). My old AV receiver does not have HDMI. It all works for me and gives me 5.1 Dolby Digital audio when the streaming source provides it.

Favorite upbeat songs
Jeff Leites replied to bill5's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
A favorite of mine for decades: The Rivieras - California Sun As a bonus, and very shameless self promotion, here is my cover. I play the guitar, the vocal is my long time friend and former neighbor, Jerry McClain of Pratt and McClain who recorded the "Happy Days" TV show theme. Organ and drums came from a midi file of unknown origin. (I also did the the video 😁). -

Favorite time travel movies/shows
Jeff Leites replied to bill5's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
I saw it... just thought I'd mix it up a little since I like so many of them. I don't think I could pick a favorite. 🙂 -
Favorite time travel movies/shows

Here's my least favorite. I love time travel movies and was recently on a watching binge, but I found this one so bad I couldn't make it to the end: -
Songs with Amazingly Dumb Lyrics
Jeff Leites replied to Anderton's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
He got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) And he can knuckle your head before you count to four (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) 🦕 🦖 -

I don't understand everything he talks about, but I like watching Brian Greene.
