Am desperately trying to figure out a way to record audio in Journler.
1. I thought the CoreAudio examples would help, but not much really. The integration of cpp and m just doesn't play over well.
2. Quicktime 7 Pro includes the ability to make Audio recordings. Somewhere in the new APIs there is certainly a way to take advantage of this. I ( Read more... )

phildow.net is undergoing some major changes. I will be forking this livejournal blog with the addition of a blogger.com blog. The later will be dedicated to writing and serious thinking, which I hope to have plenty of time for while in Innsbruck, while the former will remain a personal blog mostly for updates about my life and maybe the stray ( Read more... )

Every human endeavor suffers from it, politics, ethics, natural science, social science, philosophy, religion, even the media. Kurt Vonnegut says it so simply in Jailbird:
