J’avais passé de longues heures à pratiquer ce jeu de rôle. Le web n’existait pas à l’époque. Ca fait drôle de reprendre contact avec ce jeu via le web.

Oh, I forgot to tell you… To join orkut, you need a photo with very precise specifications, otherwise they won’t accept you. So please don’t ask me to invite you if you don’t have your photo ready yet. Thanks.

Now seriously, is it Allan or Hans who had the idea?…

Last night at the supermarket the checkout operator asked me “anything else?”. I should have said yes and go back pick up more stuff, but the guy behind me in the line was muscular.

I’ve been invited at orkut, an online community of trusted friends. In affiliation with Google. You can join only by invitation. So if you are my friend and want to be part of it, just ask me… The fields in the profiles there are a bit similar to these on our homepages at Kebawe: favorite movie, occupation, photo, etc. But while our homepages only link to the other Kebawe members, orkut is a much much bigger network.

I may develop something enabling me automatically post to a web site everything I play on the keyboard. Well, not everything, it would ideally be triggered by some MIDI, maybe a special chord. The thing is I don’t want to have anythign to touch on the computer, it has to be very easy, just seat in front of the keyboard, play, and that’s it. Then something on the computer would build a MP3 and post it to some sort of music blog. With the keyboard, it should be easy to trigger the recording by a MIDI chord (a weird one that won’t happen during normal playing…), or some other MIDI event. But for people without MIDI, this would not work, so maybe they would have to click something on their computer to start the recording (which is in fact a posting), which is less cool. Since my recordings would suck, I hope that some other talented people would use the system (email me…) If you want to help coding it (for Mac, and web site in PHP/Perl/MySQL) please contact me too.

So, to summarize, here is how it would work: you get back from work, you turn on your synth or guitar, and you play, inspired by the wonderful day you had in the office. Then your web site is updated with a link to the MP3, and the date. Absolutely no comment, no text. Maybe people would be allowed to comment, that’s a detail anyway, it would be part of the configuration if the project goes public.
