1. listened to Vision Creation Newsum (Saturday) - the best part was that I was driving my dad's car which has a shitty muffler, whatever track 2 is called is in the same key as 83 mph

2. played yahtzee (yesterday) - totally beat the shit out of everyone else, too

3. MADE ESPRESSO AT HOME. Have I not told fucking EVERYone this yet? I love my shiny little stovetop espresso pot and it tastes to drip coffee like summer tomatoes taste to winter tomatoes -- that is to say that drip coffee can go hang.

Stovetop espresso rules my mornings.

I also visited the Horniman the weekend - I went into the hands-on music room and had my first go at playing a bodhran. It didn't sound very good but then it was nearly drowned out by everyone else in the room hitting things.

― robster (robster), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

There's some incredible edits of the end of VCN track four done on the Rebore series. On the DJ Krush one (Vol 3) listen to ~30:00 to 37:15 or so. There's all these scratches (or are they tape yanks?) and this lovely lovely lovely haunting synth riff added. If anyone can ID it, I would love it! Then it launches off to Super Roots 7 (MEKONS!)

― jw (ex machina), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

VCN: Bringing ILX together in its time of greatest need.

Super Roots 5 is on sale at the local Fopp, is that the one everyone raves about?

IIRC, 4 *was* recorded but I've never heard it discussed.

Isn't the number 4 unlucky in Japanese culture, or am I making things up? Presumably it's the event horizon of the set...

Hmm, well, if I see 7 or 6 lying around I'll pick it up. I still think Pop Tatari is their best album, mind, although were it to have Super Coming as its centrepiece it'd be EVEN BETTER.

Super Coming is flat-out one of the songs of the 90's. And it might just have the most tantalising first two minutes of any piece of music ever! I wish I knew all the lyrics...

That ^^^ seems to figure, 'cos my favourite Super Ae tracks are the ones you've aligned to Pop Tatari, although the whole album's pretty awesome.

so tonight for my remote sensing class I did lots of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) analysis. NDVI is basically the difference of reflected near-infrared and red light (from its wavelength band in the visible spectrum), divided by the sum of those two bands. Once you georeference the image raster to whatever ground coordinates you have, you basically get a map of plant intensity, due to the fact that in photosynthesis plants absorb light most abundantly from the red wavelengths, but reflect/scatter near-infrared light because they can't use it and it would just burn them up. So we do a little model building in ArcGIS (or Erdas IMAGINE since my ArcGIS geoprocessing tools were "not licensed"), and throw in a little boolean SQL in the models to calculate an NDVI raster. Of course once you get that you can illustrate and do spatial analysis & statistics of its NDVI change on a temporal scale (cause of season change) or how it reponds to any environmental factors. It is pretty neat

No, mine oven does not work. I fried them. But not deep fried, but lightly fried, and then blotted the excess grease off them with kitchen roll. Ooh, I should try curry spices. I had them with a cheese an nonion ommelette, but I eat those all the time so it is nothing special.

just out of interest for myself, how lightly? i want to cook homemade chips but am petrified of heating up jillions of gallons of oil to stupid temperatures.

― Ste (fuzzy), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, the trick is to parboil the potatoes first (about ten minutes) - then you fry the chips in oil about halfway up however thick your chips over. Turn them over halfway through. When they are done on both side, put them on kitchen towel and pat lightly to remove the icky greasiness. Then consume with extreme joy.
