Now as those of you may, or may not know, normalization is the process of making an audio file play to a set volume level, it's a nice idea but the processing normally involves transcoding, a process of re-encoding encoded data, in the case of audio stored in lossy formats (like the somewhat obsolete but rather well known mp3) this results in a considerable loss of audio quality, and this is, I suspect, why the last.fm client doesn't do it, which is also why it quite often makes me jump because track B happens to be 50% louder than track…

So of late i've been hitting borough market on the friday, been trying to find new and interesting foods (being a fussy eater, this presents a challenge) but one thing has thus far stood out… Ostrich!

When i go down there i nearly always have an ostrich burger for lunch, lovley stuff, meaty, low in everything bad for you and tasty to boot, just not i've had an ostrich suasge sarnie :D

I urge everyone to get some ostrich in their diet, it's not the cheapest thing in the world, but it's well worth it!

I wholey endorse this proposal :D

3 days scrobbling lost because mpdscrible karked it and nuked it's own cache file, every time it tried to read it *BANG* core dump, had to delete the cache file :(

I've been devoid of a website for faaaar to long now, so i've designed one, all it needs now is content to complement the lovely dhtml-tastic works of my fine self! (yay for ego's!!!)

And here's where im stuck… the "about me" section, I've a few random ramblings from various people as they've made attempts to define me (god knows I've not got a clue how to define me!) and…

I want more :)

So if all you lovely boys and gurls would be so kind as to attempt to sumarise me from what little you've seen I might put…

… is rather good, just got back from a screener at the imax and it's well worth seeing!

Those imax screens don't half strain your eyes though!

As per the title, polls are needed.. with a poll i can ponder the question that lives in the back of my head.

Ashes of the Wake or Sacrament ?

I love them both to be fair but Ashes of the Wake is the one I keep comming back too.

Just got back from the UKPS offices and im frankly angry, the kind of angry where I have to stop myself from hitting random strangers I simply don't like the look of (though to be fair i'm irritable anyway), i've phoned up to arrange a fast track appointment so i can get my passport sorted for graspop, I was doing this purley because after filling in the online application well within the alloted time they failed to send me the forms :(.
Anyway, I phone this hotline and after about 15 mins of the useless jabbering idiot on the end…

Thu 12 Apr – Paradise Lost

Last night I had the pleasure of going to see paradise lost at koko (formerly the camden palace), got there about 6:30 (doors at 7) expecting the usual queue aroun the block only to be proved wrong with a teeeeny little queue and quite a few cute girls to look at, roll on 7 the doors flew open and in everyone went.

Then we waited.

And waited.

All this time there was of course the odd crazy guy yelling crap in the crowd and being a tit, this did prove amusing for a little…

Once again i've reached a stage where I keep looking in the mirror and thinking "that's heading south that is", or to be exact, thining out (i've even started growing my undercut out) which always leads me to the thought of giving it all the chop, my precious hair, while it still has some dignity :)

I always wimp out mind you, but there are a few things I wouldn't mind trying before "hair care" starts to involve turtle wax, short and spikey would be nice, it'd fit in with the very "50's" thing i seem to be developing atm,…
