Planet of sound.

I spent this afternoon attempting to get redcountess' Jabra BT250 Bluetooth headset to work with my laptop. I even downloaded and compiled btsco from source, but no go. I tried plugging the dongle into the G4, and it reliably crashed the system every time. I even downloaded 20 meg of drivers from D-Link for the Windows 98 virtual machine, and it could see the headset but wouldn't get or give sound. Finally, arkady came in with her trashed old headset, which one earphone is broken on but which has a damn plug on it.

So after dinner, I went into the lounge and set to work with a microphone, an Ogg someone had emailed me this morning and my first ever attempt to use Audacity knowing what I wanted to do even though I'd no idea how to do it and certainly wasn't going to read any help file. Two hours later: the result. Ogg Vorbis file (how to play these), 395KB. Announcer played by me, other voice by Chris French. Admire. Arkady laughed out loud first she heard it, so it's good enough. Expect more of these.

I have phone job interviews Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. So far so good.
