pssssst!
anybody in there?
hey!!!
??????
 is everybody cleared out?
sure enough!    the place is empty again... WHEW! nice & quiet again.
ok! coast is clear
jeez! lookit that-
broken chairs and glass everywhere! sure hope that's FAKE glass...
and.... eeeeuw! fake blood-
on the floor


what a ruckus huh?
sounded like somebody let an alley cat in the parrot store!

I heard the sheriff had to fire a shot at the chandelier to break it 
up... wooooowee!
nuthin' like that happened when that feller called that other feller 
gay, right out loud and then I called poor Mike Firman a buttnugget.

PTWANNNNNG!

whoa, better keep my head low!
SORRY MIKE!

ahem... on to business
 did anybody else hear the net-audio show?
 my streaming audio was pretty poor and I don't know if it was my gear 
or the source.
anybody else have trouble?

whatever you do, though
don't say the 'P-word'

Yes, things seem to have settled down.

No problem.

Well, a, I was there so I didn't have any problem except
perhaps with one of the studio monitors :-(

In the past I've had no problem streaming that radio station
(WCBN) even when I had a rather poor dialup (now have IDSL :-))
I use iTunes on my Mac laptop but I make sure that the buffer
(set in the preferences) is set to some huge size.

To keep some Wiard content in this post I thought I'd
throw out a question.

I know that Dr. M. is a tinkerer, so I know he has come
up with some gadgets that interface with his Wiard modules
(and module parts). Has anyone else put together any little
"helper" devices that they use with their systems? I'm working
on a little thingy that converts 0-5V pulses to 0-10V pulses
so that I can easily (without using up good Wiard functionality)
interface sequencers and the like that generate 0-5V with say
the gate input on the WFC (the envelope on the WFC is really
an integrator so the max voltage in determines the peak of the
envelope - this is not the case for the Envelator which produces
a +10V peak even when sent a +5 gate).

Any other such devices?
