Ick. Can you just.... not report it? How are they going to know? Hmm... I wonder if there's a similar law here in the US? Although... so far, my vacations haven't been as long as my work-related travel (1 week vs. 2-3 weeks).

Unfortunately, this is dealt with by the University admin - Kate has to request leave and if that's longer than the trip then that's what causes the problems.

Fortunately, we've realised that the conference goes over a week-end, which means Kate gets two days off in lieu. We've also brought our return two days earlier and thus we now have four days rec leave instead of eight.

Sweet! But... were these mixes done using Linux?

Ashamedly, no. If MixMeister was available for Linux, or anything under Linux did as good a job, then I'd use it. It's one of the few applications which is keeping me in Windows. I talked to a couple of programmers at the Toast night, but no-one had the skills right off the bat. There were a couple of good ideas - reuse the display off Audacity and re-jig it to do the Right Thing at low zoom levels, and use LADSPA plugins.

I also spoke to the guy who's writing Secret Rabbit Code (a Sample Rate Converter) who reckoned my plan for stretching out MP3s was not going to work. Which is a pity, since it sounds like it should. Since he stated that MP3 blocks contained too little information to rebuild the sound with any clarity - and yet that's exactly what MP3 decoders do on a regular basis - I think I might just continue my research. If only I knew how to actually do what I want to. Any programmers who have written MP3 decoders around here?

Have fun,

Paul
