I use Soundcloud.


You upload your crappy track. Then people add comments to it like "cool bass drum!" and "I'm feelin' it!!" at points of their choosing as the track plays. And they they become your soundcloud follower and then you become theirs and then you get to listen to their crappy track and add comments like "great hi-hat" and "this is gonna SMASH IT" and then nothing whatsoever happens because - let's face it - you're just a load of people playing each other your crappy tracks in the dream that someone, somewhere with a massive cigar will call you, offer a $1000000000000 recording contract and free blowjobs for life.


Happily, I'm not the above, of course. All my tracks are private: Soundcloud is a useful and inexpensive means for me to collate and send work clients, for them to preview the work and then download the music to the edit.


I think this is the point about all these types of thing. Most people will look at them and think "that's shit, why would anyone want to do that?" but there will always be a percentage who get real value put of it. To me, LinkedIn, for example - is utterly pointless ("John added overhead projectors to his list of skills") but to certain people - apparently - like people in certain types of recruitment - it's actually invaluable.

Linked in is simply a mechanism for me to be refused jobs because I joined before all this sort of stuff was acceptable, put up something flippant about myself, lost my login and without my signtory email address am unable to do anything about it, and thanks to a total lack of customer service and an inability to delete an account am scuppered.


Soudcloud lets me listen to some songs for free without having to click 'skip this ad'.

Don't really get the comments on the histogram thing, bit weird.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
