Okay I've just moved this' images to the new page location. Had a few thoughts along the way: new_wiki_layout:mios32 new_wiki_layout:mios new_wiki_layout:projects new_wiki_layout:community new_wiki_layout:about These should hang off of wikify: now, not New_wiki_layout, right? The new_wiki_layout and it's children have been like a template for the wiki, it really should stay around someplace... What about like: wikify:home (was :new_wiki_layout) wikify:home:mios32 wikify:home:mios wikify:home:projects wikify:home:community wikify:home:about Also, these two fellas: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=home:mios http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=home:mios32 These are kinda uhm... they need some work to make it 'flow' a bit. I think that's probably something I should line up for, if you guys are OK with that? It needs to be broken down into Use and App Development, and tools and such, but there are common tools between them. Lots of grey area. Got any ideas? I'm just gonna take a stab at it tomorrow night. I'll drag over a bit of stuff from the old app dev pages too. So, jump in if you've got ideas! Last thing... I think we're trifling with a position where we are not going to know what's done and what's not... it might pay to try and do whole sections at a time (provided it doesn't get a bit mind-numbing which I know it can).. Like, if you're gonna do the MBSId page, make sure you get all the MBSID info from across the wiki before you move onto another thing like MBFM or something... Perhaps alternately we could start to rip out the old pages in advance? As in... once you copy the MBSID page from the old wiki layout, edit the page, and replace all the text with a link to the new page. Leave a keyword n there, like TRASHMARKER, then when we're done we can run a search for trashmarker, and delete them at will. Will make the cutover easy.... We can always revert to the old version of the page to get it back if needs be, by running the same search... I dunno, we just need some way to know if we've hit that page or not.... It's a pleasant change to have so many chefs, now we just have to be careful not to spoil the broth ;)

Edit: this is the bit where the chatroom regulars go "OMG don't say that you'll start him on an anarchy rant" :D Actually I disagree, I believe that the constant "guidance" has left most people untrained and hence unable to control themselves. I do agree they are "stupid", or ignorant to be more precise... But the ignorance is due to the law, not in spite of it. Furthermore, the laws we have promote desperation that drives people to crime. The concept that one day we'll all get along perfectly, through Law or lack thereof, is just ridiculous - people will always disagree - but a quick look at our genetic ancestry (monkeys) will prove that our default mode of behaviour toward one another, prior to the introduction of Law and other methods of mass control, is not of conflict but of cooperation. If it weren't so, we wouldn't be here. Applying our ability to process information to this behaviour pattern, it's clear that despite the inevitable disagreements, we can handle them in a far more amicable manner than your average chimp. IE, we can talk and reason and work things out, rather than have a fight about it. Chimps don't have that option. We do, but we don't use it. People seem to think that the removal of laws will result in some kind of 'Mad Max' style society, but think about it: The vast majority of human beings choose not to harm others when they would not want to be treated that way themselves. The vast majority of the exceptions to that rule are only that way due to the desperation induced by our society. That's called terrorism, it's against the law. Before the "terrorists" there were "communists" and other such "criminals". The underground never goes away, but sadly brainwashing is extremely effective, and the masses will fight it even though they have no clue what they're taking about. I sat in a waiting room the other day watching a live feed of the bombing and shooting in India, listening to the receptionist carry on about how these al-qaida terrorists (omg) were bad people and should all be shot... I didn't even bother trying to tell her that the "terrorist" attacks in India this week are actually part of a feud that has been ongoing for several centuries, and that the land was stolen from the "terrorists" as a part of the winding up of WWII when India and Pakistan were separated by a third party. Nor did I point out that by shooting someone because your views on the world differ from theirs, you're doing EXACTLY what the 'terrorists' aka freedom fighters, are doing. EXACTLY. Oh, but yaknow... it's different, they're being evil and we're not..... Whatever. They say the same of us. Who are we to pass judgement? Are we empowering ourselves with the right to differentiate right from wrong? Therein lies the fault in trying to break the system from within. It doesn't matter what the system is. If there's a mechanism for providing power to one man over another, someone WILL take advantage of it. They may do it through conspiracy or ignorance or ego or emotional bias or whatever, it may be intentional or otherwise, but they'll do it. There's no freedom in power, but there's power in freedom. Now go read Nineteen Eighty-Four. It's your future, you should know how it's gonna be. We already have big brother protecting us from terr'ists and we already have three unions and a token war in the middle of it all. We already have rendition and brainwashing and government agents among us. It's fiction, but it ain't fiction. So long as we promote the concept of making the masses fit into a convenient mould via law/finance/government/religion/whatever tool you like, this problem is not going away. Want Proof? I give you the entire history of humankind. We've tried everything BUT anarchy, and none of the systems have worked. Do the math........

There's nothing to figure out, it's right in your face. Law is a crock of shit. You're a bitch to the bullying masses and the whim of a few individuals who have empowered themselves with the "right" to control your life. Enjoy. OMG how far off topic are we? :D

For no particular reason except mirroring SVN. I agree though, I don't know if we need to split it up that way.. That's gonna wind up a wasteland for stuff that people couldn't/didn't figure out where to put it... How about here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=home:about:midibox That's what the wikify pages is for. Hey guys, the http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=new_wiki_layout page, where's that going? Shouldn't the layout be under the wikify namespace? We have rules? Heheh seriously though, aside from basic netiquette and respect to others, I don't think there are any... It would be good to put that on the wiki actually. That'd go in http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=home:about:midibox too I guess? Actually there's probably one forum rule, no commercial requests... Skills namespace. Good feedback dude, keep it coming!!

Heh, lollipop if you can find new tapes for that little gem ;)

It made hackaday three days before us, WTF!

Totally! I applaud your honesty and fear for your career ;)

12!?! That's beyond even my record of 7. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself after losig four today. Shit... Twelve!!! Eat well dude, drink shiatloads of water, rest up. This is a good time to break out the puppy-dog-eyes and beg to the wifey for special treatment ;) Just a thought, maybe the unusually high (for you) blood pressure is related to your emotional involvement in the situation?

I think that only TK or maybe Wilba could really answer this categorically, but I'll take a shot at it: No chance. The MB-SID has pretty much been tweaked to the max as a synth, I don't think that such extra load as what you have outlined is really part of the design. A few things are intended, such as driving AOUT modules and using DOUTs as gates and such, but theyre linked into the synthesis functions (for obvious reasons) so I think that for the routing/mixing side of things, you should really use a dedicated core. Essentially, the green stuff is one box, the yellow is another. I stand ready to be corrected by TK on this one ;)

Hope it all goes well dude!

Gee, I'm glad you said "brain". I split this because the Origin Topic was over two years old and appears to be abandoned :( The name must be alive somewhere, because his account is still active... But the project has not seen any action in a long time. Maybe you should PM the name for an update?

The building site two doors down from me was using a jackhammer at those times. I could also hear the kid two doors up practicing his drums, and three doors up playing piano (that kid is fuckin talented). The cops may come around to act upon a noise complaint, but you are entirely within your rights to point out that the noise is at an acceptable level for the time of day, and that above your responsibilities you have taken extraordinary measures to reduce the noise, and ask the cop to do something about your neighbour's unreasonable complaints. Rather than being violent, you can achieve the same effect, without dragging our society to a point where people don't feel safe to talk to their neighbours: The pen is mightier than the sword. Keep in mind, that when that was said, there weren't telephones or teh int3rwebz. Take pics of your setup, including rubber mat on floor, headphones, etc. Take video footage of the sound it (doesn't) make when you play. Compare to typical kitchen noises in the video. Email the pics and video to your local council, with a story explaining what a nice guy you are for spending megabucks to silence your rig, and asking them to help with silencing your neighbour from hell. Call the police station (during the day, and be nice!) and ask them for advice. Call legal aid. You can make a ruckus without scaring the shit out of the guy. He'll give up either way, once the cops tell him he's being unreasonable. They always do. Oh. Google is our friend: http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=46&pg=668 Especially: http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=46&pg=675 Seems it's 9pm now, not 11. Notice that the law is a total crock of shit. How unusual. By those laws, noone in Melbourne can use a television (even with the sound turned down) or computer (no speakers) or telephone (mobile or fixed) or even a fricken lightbulb, between 8pm and 7am. Pfff. Point is, it comes down to interpretation. Don't tell the cops "oh shit mate, that guy's a dickhead, I wasn't doin' nuffin!" .. Don't send some sloppily written crap to the council with a dodgy ass video of your trashy studio with overflowing ashtrays playing deathcore drums in a stained t-shirt. Come across as a concerned and community-minded semi-professional artist who has gone to great lengths to appease a neighbour, who is now being unfairly harassed by said neighbour, and needs the assistance of a fair-minded third party. If it's not total BS, which it obviously is not, they'll come around. Sure it sucks that you have to play the game, but it beats the alternatives (being a thug/being a doormat). Course, if the system fails, pay some dudes to bash the ******.

Heh yeh.. Admittedly I did think twice before I moved this thread, it's pretty obvious where it's going to end up ;) Actually that's why I mentioned moving it back, and said "for now". Just wanted to make sure you knew you had support. As you may imagine, we have to be fairly strict with the user projects subforum, so that we end up with projects that are ready for others to build - I mean, they need a level of support (including documentation) similar to the official projects. That doesn't mean hanging around fielding questions nonstop or anything, just stuff like schems and instructions and code with nice comments is top notch (check out doco like the wilbasid, sensorizer, pedal board)... But the candidates that hit the user projects subforum, range from that standard, to requests for people to build stuff for money. (Those get deleted) Just for the sake of treating everyone equally, the response is standard: No wiki page, no code, no schems = no thread in User Projects. Just for the sake of stryd being stryd, I apply a certain degree of pleasantry proportionate to the poster's investment of effort and respect paid to the sticky thread in the forum. Which is why I thought I'd explain the standard response, and why you got it. But Yeh, don't sweat it ;)

OMG doesn't anyone ever search?! http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/street_sign_lcd#removal

LOL. I was about to make a joke about filling the space in your music with marshall stacks... as I was typing, I remembered that I read something about the duo in this pic, filling the stage with marshall stacks. Oh well....

Kickass! I moved this out of user projects for now, please see this thread: Please Read Before Posting New Topics: What is a "User Project"? I'll move it back when it meets the criteria :) Bring that documentation onsite, and post code, and uhm... nope, that's all :D

When the overhaul is final, the :home:home page, will be moved to :home, then the 'you are here' will be right :)

When you try a search, don't just try one search term. You would have found this info for such searches as 'lcd' or 'hd44780' (which is the chipset mentioned on ucapps.de) or by the chipset itself 'ks0066', by reading the parts pages, etc... It's just like google - you don't always find what you want the first time.

While discussing the merits of graffiti with Wilba last night, I was stoked to find out that this documentary has been released to the public domain: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5065949310221269915 If you're already a writer, you've probably already seen this film, but the rest of you can probably learn a little something by watching it. Plus, the soundtrack is dope. You'll almost surely recognise a few samples in there too ;)

Ahh I get ya :) Let me know when you've re-upped your files and I'll delete the old ones in the root: namespace

Translation: "I don't spend enough time searching." ;)

Wow what a police state. I mean sure, some peace and quiet is good sometimes, but neighbours can talk with each other and work something out...but.... WTF is it that people who want quiet, have more rights than people who want music? Here in .au there are noise laws, but only at certain times of the day in residential areas. I can play music as loud as I like (within EPA limits) during the day, until 11pm. I think playing loud music after that is generally a bit inconsiderate anyway... The cops certainly can't take your gear though. They can order you to turn it down, they can arrest you for disturbing the peace if you refuse (at which point they can enter your property to turn it off themselves)... but even then, they can't take it. Only a court order would allow that. I think australia is one of the greatest nations there is, but sadly the problems that you experience are not local...the whole planet is being driven by the same stupid shit (legal/political/financial/religious stupidity) and given sufficient time, we all go the same way. Back in the day, this situation woulda been simple... The copper would visit you, and say "hey Bob next door complained about your music" and you'd discuss it. If his common sense determined you were being unreasonable, he'd make you turn it down, if not, he'd tell the neighbour to be reasonable... And that'd be the end of it. Heck. It probably wouldn't even go that far - it'd probably be Bob sticking his head over the fence and saying "hey I've gotta crash early for work, would you mind turning that down a touch?", and you'd say, "sure Bob!". Alas, common sense has been crushed to death by the aforementioned stupidity....

Yeh, totally! Sorry, I thought I already told you to go ahead with that. My bad! Go for it!

My preparation page was the beginnings of a personal blog, also somewhere for me to keep my notes... I'm happy for it to be broken up and used as general documentation if there's anything useful there. Do it. One ting I would suggest is... Don't spend too much time waiting for the go-ahead. You guys, in my eyes at least, have been consistently getting it right. I'd say: docs first, ask questions later ;) Unless you really aren't sure of course; the team is always there to advise, IF you need it. But mostly, I don't think you guys need it - I think that waiting for advice is holding you back. Unleash the wiki demons! Go! :D
