| Feb-12-12 | | Travis Bickle: Jess I've been thinking, and I think if you made a "Gligo" video he would be very moved by it. You might even get a nice response! ; P |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> sorry to be late on the responses- I did in fact have an irritating series of crashes on my computer. After it failed to boot yesterday morning, I investigated using my back up computer.
Turns out I needed to increase my virtual memory capacity (who knew?) and recalibrate the settings on my utorrent client. Possibly I shouldn't have been downloading over 70 torrents at a time. However, the fall of <btjunkie.org> panicked me and I'm trying to download every single video ever created in history before someone starts making me pay for them. As I mentioned, I've been doing some serious work on an <Alekhine> documentary so I will need tons of Dutch pronunciations- many many place names in particular. Are you finding <audacity> stable? Are you using the latest beta build or the original? I've been using it to edit all the sound on my last three documentaries and it's been unstable such that I've had to switch back and forth. Bloody "apps" they are stable only at the best of times, similar to Windows operating system. If you use apps, any random "update" could render a number of programs suddenly incompatible. Thing is I use so many different ones to make a film- video/photo/sound converters, subtitler, gordian knot, windows movie maker, and so on. I considered shelling out 700 dollars for Sony Vegas, but on a free trial run I found it more, not less stable than the old 6.0 build windows movie maker. The thing about the 6.0 is that there's a kind of "club" of programmers who keep making free new effects available. In fact, due to this, you can actually get more effects than on Sony Vegas if you download them for WMM 6.0. At the end of the day, resources on a laptop can only go so far, one day I'd like to have a proper editing studio. Actually, I think the personal computers will increase in power such that they will approach the quality and stability of professional editing equipment. One day. Not today though. |

| Feb-13-12 | | achieve: Well - GOOD NEWS!
Jess I think I have the settings on Audacity optimized now, and when I am disciplined with how I hold my mic in relation to my "source", my vocal waves producing lipped apertura, then success is guaranteed. I'm assuming you didn't have a problem getting to play the aup. files I sent you by emu? Yesterday I tried an audio recording of me playing my piano, but it wasn't "right upthere" with the quality i get from Minidisc, but for single (and perhaps) multi voice singing and speaking <audacity> is really fine, and the editing features and other effects are quite luxurious. So I'm ready, if you are, and can play the email-attched "aupies". ;) |

| Feb-13-12 | | achieve: <At the end of the day, resources on a laptop can only go so far, one day I'd like to have a proper editing studio.> That would be terrific - and always has been a dream of mine as well to have my own recording studio, although from a musician's point of view there are studios, professional, that you can rent, very expensive, if you need them for several days... A home recording and editing studio is a wet dream though. |
|
| Feb-13-12 | | achieve: <J> I just looked it up and I am using the 1.3.14-beta version. Seems very stable to me sofar. Surely not the original, as I didn't pay a dime for it. heh - I too noticed BtJunkie calling it quits last week; but there are a good 5 or 6 left: TPB, KAT, and several others of "lesser quality". |
|
| Feb-13-12 | | Travis Bickle: Jess maybe if you contacted Susan Polgar on her blog she could help you contact Gligo. She knows everybody in the chess world! |

| Feb-13-12 | | Thanh Phan: Kseniya Simonova presents - Yana Korokhina Яна Корохин&-
#1072; "Faces" "Лица"
"I have a big honor to present a new name to the visitors of my web-site and both YouTube accounts", - says the famous Sand Artist, - "A young lady photographer called Yana Korokhina is making her first steps as a professional art. She is only fourteen and started making the pictures with the help of the camera of her mobile phone, trying to edit them in the graphical programs of the same phone... ~ http://youtu.be/71wu9gKjFPI Thought this was neat how much able to use a phone camera and the results after she done |
|
| Feb-13-12 | | Travis Bickle: Jess brankat left you a message about Gligo in my forum. |
|

 | | harrylime: Jess you doing anything on Schlechter ? And where can I find these biographies? |
|
| Feb-14-12 | | brankat: <harrylime> Probably in bookstores and libraries. They usually carry books :=) |
|
Feb-14-12
| | harrylime: I meant Jess's bio's ..
Schlechter is a player who is very dear to me. |
|
| Feb-14-12 | | brankat: <harrylime> Jess is working on her Bio?! Btw, I didn't realize her last name was Schlechter :-) |
|
Feb-14-12
| | jessicafischerqueen: <branko> and <T-dawg> thanks for that extremely interesting post on Gligo's current activities, and hints on how to contact him. <branko> if you are willing to translate anything by Gligo I'd certainly be fascinated to read it, and ultimately putting it into a documentary on him. |

Feb-14-12
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> having some difficulty opening the "aup" files and I'm not sure why- Is there any way you could use <audacity> to export them as WAV files and then send those on? WAV files are great quality as you probably know-
It's kind of irritating that we can't just directly export mpg files from <audacity>- although there is a way to do it, apparently. Ideally, for file size and ease of sending and downloading via email, mpg files are the best- Small and easy, like this girl I used to know back in Middle School. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: *Canmore, Alberta* |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | achieve: <Jess> It's simple, (left-)click the download link as it shows in the attachment to my emu message, a window then appears, and choose the 'save as' option, to transfer the aup. file to your destination folder/C-drive ... Then from <that> location you can open and play the file with <audacity>. <small and easy> hehe |

| Feb-15-12 | | Boomie: <Jess Arooo>
What's this flapdoodle about canoodling chess players? That's not a real question. I just wanted to see if I could work "flapdoodle" and "canoodle" into one sentence. Sam and Max have expanded my vocab immesurably.
Sam: "Sweet suffering Saint Sebastion on a sousaphone in a Susan Sonntag short story!!!" Heh. |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | brankat: <Jessica> I'll find the interview mentioned earlier, and translate it within a day or two. If You don't want the text posted here, then I'd need Your E-mail address. Should I find other Gligoric material in Serbian, I'll do the same. For more than a year now I've been putting off posting my personal reminisces of Gligoric on his player page. I'll try to do it soon. I met Gligoric 6 times between 1961 and 1977. |

| Feb-15-12 | | dakgootje: Is a flapdoodle a drawing or sketch of a pancake? |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | brankat: <dakgootje> And how does that relate to P-3? You seem to be loosing focus, despite a lucky +2693 :-) |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | dakgootje: no-no, when I <lose> I am unlucky; when I <win>, it's called skill. Besides, I did hit the p3 yesterday - although taking a net-loss on the bet ;) And I'm going to make more hefty profits today :) |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | brankat: <dakgootje> <And I'm going to make more hefty profits today :)> I bet You won't :-) |
|
| Feb-15-12 | | dakgootje: Psshhh.. it's no fun betting on the most likely outcome.. |
