[05:12] < MS-> The results of a nights hack

[05:12] < MS-> http://edit.kamaelia.org/SpeakAndLearn

[05:13] < MS-> Many thanks to vmlemon for giving me the idea :)

[10:45] *** MS- decides to rename it "speak n write"

[10:46] < MS-> Will be presenting it as my "hack" this afternoon

[10:50] *** vmlemon_ has joined #kamaelia

[11:02] *** orphans has joined #kamaelia

[11:07] < MS-> vmlemon_: You will hopefully be amused by the idea that I'm going to be entering a handwriting recognition based version of speak and spell for my "hack" as part of "Mashed"

[11:09] < orphans> MS-, just about to "circuit bend" your speak and spell :D

[11:09] < vmlemon_> Cool

[11:12] < MS-> orphans: ?

[11:12] < MS-> circuit bed ?

[11:13] < MS-> I now have the code at the level I would like :)

[11:13] < orphans> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itn5wkiUmcw

[11:13] < vmlemon_> Touch parts of the circuit board to make it produce weird noises that it normally wouldn't

[11:13] *** MS- looks

[11:13] < MS-> I see

[11:13] < vmlemon_> If you wonder what "circuit bending" is

[11:14] < MS-> I was more wondering how you circuit bend the speak and write myself :)

[11:14] < vmlemon_> o.O "For safety reasons, there are no power electronics components on offer - ask the author for a story of what happens when you put a 50p between a 2.5 kV line and ground."

[11:14] < vmlemon_> Hah

[11:15] < orphans> on phone

[11:15] < orphans> 2 secs

[11:15] < vmlemon_> add a --bend-pinXandpinY option? ;)

[11:15] < vmlemon_> or --reverb ;)

[11:15] < MS-> np

[11:26] < orphans> hey MS-, sorry

[11:27] < orphans> was planning on altering it slightly to put a mangler between the words and the speak-ey bit, so it repeats and changes the order of syllables

[11:27] < vmlemon_> Lots of interesting stuff seems to be happening around Mashed

[11:27] < orphans> and makes generally funny sounds :)

[11:27] < vmlemon_> Yay

[11:28] < vmlemon_> "Sa-waaaay Apppppppp"? ;)

[11:28] < orphans> that sort of thing :)

[11:28] < MS-> orphans: I see

[11:29] < MS-> Sounds cool

[11:29] < vmlemon_> Reminds me of one of those VTech toy "laptop computers" that my sister had

[11:29] *** MS- nods

[11:29] < vmlemon_> Somehow, that would circuit bend itself when the batteries were bad/running low

[11:29] < MS-> That makes sense

[11:29] < MS-> clock timings would probably start going askew

[11:30] < vmlemon_> "Please Preeeeeeeeeeeeee" for ages before yanking the rusty AA batteries out...

[11:30] < vmlemon_> Meh, IRC sucks for trying to describe sounds

[11:33] < vmlemon_> Got some nice sound effects out of an old el-cheapo kids' keyboard (either a Yamaha or Bontempi branded one) when the batteries were running flat, or if it was quickly turned off and on again whilst holding the keys

[11:36] < MS-> :)

[11:42] *** vmlemon_ wonders what's happening with Glow

[11:42] < MS-> ?

[11:42] < vmlemon_> The BBC JavaScript framework thing

[11:45] < vmlemon_> http://bbc.co.uk/glow/ - the username and password are mashed08

[11:54] < MS-> ah, i see

[11:56] *** vmlemon__ is now known as vmlemon_

[12:43] < vmlemon_> Hmm, is irc.welcomebackstage.com supposed to be accessible to/used by the general public?

[12:44] < MS-> I have NO idea

[12:44] < MS-> :)

[12:44] < vmlemon_> It seems to be mostly filled with BBC people...

[12:45] < vmlemon_> [00:49] [Whois] stagehand is stagehand@backstage.bbc.co.uk (The Magical Backstage Stage Hand)

[12:46] < MS-> Yep, it is

[12:53] *** vmlemon__ has joined #kamaelia

[12:53] < orphans> bend complete :) Speak and write is now 100% less useful, but makes some funny sounds

[12:54] < MS-> in your sketches area ?

[12:54] < MS-> Or a trunk?

[12:54] < MS-> branch even

[12:54] < orphans> sketches

[12:55] *** MS- looks

[12:55] *** vmlemon__ is now known as vmlemon_

[12:55] < vmlemon_> Ooh

[12:55] < vmlemon_> Aah

[12:55] < vmlemon_> Or even a genuine 60s/80s/90s TI one? ;)

[12:56] < MS-> O.K.

[12:57] < MS-> :-)

[12:57] < orphans> I bet you never thought that'd happen to some code you wrote MS- :)

[12:59] < orphans> anyways, I'm off to do something actually useful now rather than breaking things. biab

[13:12] < MS-> SYLVESTER MCCOY!

[13:12] < MS-> This is surreal

[13:13] < vmlemon_> Ver baot iz speek-ing? ;)

[13:18] < MS-> The bit presenting talks is hosted by Sylvester McCoy

[13:18] < MS-> (yes that one)

[13:18] < MS-> :)
