Michael MD's Report
"demon", SPRACI's trusty home for more than a decade, is going into retirement soon.
Despite sometimes struggling with heavy load in recent years, it was hardly ever down and hardly ever even needed a reboot - full cred to the stability of good old FreeBSD 4.1!
.. but its time to move on... and the new server will mean a lot of new possibilities!
... expect to see some big changes on spraci soon!
.. starting with a new more flexible back-end and yes probably a new look too...
(open to suggestions - if there is something you want to see implemented on spraci, NOW is the time to let me know!)

given up on php4 - streaming from files it slow whatever I do in that - now finally joining the "php4 is dead" chorus! ,,,,,, spraci moving servers soon anyway... ... until then its going to be perl and c! ...
...and it looks like sqlite's FTS (fulltext search) features might be tha bomb! (yes you do need to edit a file to enable it when you compile it .. but in c that isn't a problem and the perl DBD::SQLite has it enabled anyway (at least to FTS3 level - and from testing so far it seems to be nice and fast!)...

some thoughts to discuss..Events Sites which have listings of public events.A lot of sites people think of as "social media" these days are culturally closer to the model of an email discussion list (as in free-form discussion between people who have "joined a list") than somewhere people would go to look up "whats on this weekend" and play more of a role for discussion about an event and the sharing of stories, photos, etc during and after the event than they do in letting people know about a future event.To find events outside their known social connections people would go to sites that have listings of public events - events sites, gig guides, etc (some of which have also been based on a user-generated content model for more than a decade)**** "user-generated content" is not new. ****For a historical perspective look at the use of usenet, bulletin boards ans email discussion lists in the 80s and early 90's - predating the "web" and setting the cultur
this looks like lots of fun .. I remember a few years ago finding some modules on cpan for midi ..

I was planning to go out last night but within an hour of leaving the air conditioned office the extreme heat & humidity flattened me and I just ended up in bed with a wet towel and a fan...
might go out..hopefully a cool change will make it ok..and if a thunderstorm comes with it I'd rather be outside to watch the lightshow!
decided to pull out the soldering iron today and have a go at that discman that has been lying around here for ages... It now has pitch control. Higher clock frequency (16.93MHz) than the discmans I had years ago, but the mod still works.

Clan Analogue is proud to release a slice of Australian electronic music history in Re Cognition: The Clan Analogue Legacy CollectionRe Cognition is a collectible three-disc set, containing a selection of the most seminal acts of the era, all of whom started their careers as part of the Clan Analogue collective.
Disc A is a collection of the greatest hits from a 15-year era of Australian techno and electronica explorations, encapsulating 24 hours in the life of an electronic music fan. Beginning during the day, whiling away hours in the office listening to radio hits by Disco Stu, Bleepin' J Squawkins, Artificial and General Electrik, we move to glitchy home listening, relaxing with Pretty Boy Crossover, Two4K and Ubin after a hard day. Then it's off to clubland to enjoy the sounds of Deepchild, B(if)tek and the Telemetry Orchestra before moving on to a warehouse party. The chill-out room warms up with Dark Network and Atone before its time to hit the dancefloor for some techno beats from Infusion, Continuum and Itch-E & Scratch-E. Finally, the comedown with 5000 Fingers of Dr T, back home in the early hours.
Disc B is an all-new selection of remixes produced from the new generation of Clan Analogue's artists, all of whom remixed their favourite tracks from the collective's back catalogue. Koshowko takes on B(if)tek, Winduptoys resurrect Continuum while Lunar Module lifts Nerve Agent into orbit. Hear the first vibrations of Clan Analogue's next era
The set includes a companion DVD. As well as classic filmclips by Deepchild, Telemetry Orchestra, Artificial and others, the disc includes the new documentary Clan Analogue: Plug In & Switch On and the influential 1995 VHS release Clan Analogue Live at the Goethe Institut.
A digital-download-only album Cognition X: The Clan Analogue Rarities Collection is available for free to anyone buying Re Cognition triple-disc set. Go to www.clananalogue.org for details.
