¯MY BIT-NEW SECTION!~
Unknown to all the other editors of DD, I (¯68K~) have decided to write
about myself and my exploits.. For your delight and delectation.. I
dunno if this is going to become a popular feature or not! Who cares?
Anyway.. Off we go...
After a summer holiday consisting of bumming around the house with
nothing to do (owing to the lack of money), I have managed to get a
small job in a computer shop nearby. I am looking forward to working in
this place for 2 main reasons...
¯1/.~ I will be getting some money at long last.. Maybe
I'll be able to enjoy myself now!
¯2/.~ The shop in question has just bought an Atari
Falcon! My brother downloaded software from some computer file archives
a while back, therefore I have plenty of stuff to try out on it!
So until that happens, and I have something to write about that
lovely computer, here are some stories about things that I have been
doing with myself over the last coupla weeks...
a) Passed an upgrading examination in my martial art-Tang Soo Do..
I am now over half-way to Black belt.. For this exam, one of the things
I had to do was to jump over 3 people and kick through a building block!
It was easy as well!
Last night in Karate, my brother kicked me so hard that I flew
a few feet and rolled across the floor for a few metres... Today
(20.8.93) I am nursing a painful shoulder. All together now, Ahhhh!!
I am attending a British championship at the end of this month
and I hope to bring a couple of trophies home.. Wish me luck!
b) Restoring my poor Mini. Decided yesterday to look at the brakes,
as they didn't seem to be stopping the car that well. Good job we
looked! Only one wheel had any kind of braking force on it! The back
wheels didn't slow down at all, and it was possible to turn them when
the handbrake and the footbrake were on! One of the front wheels had a
brake pipe gone, and the shoes inside the drum were completely covered
in fluid..! Very messy...... Hoping to flog it for a better car now that
everyone in the household can drive, so me and my brother have been
sanding,filling and re-spraying for the last few days, and it looks all
the better for it....
c) Writing a sampler. I have been working on this for the last few
weeks, and I hope to make it commercially available if it gets any
good. The main thing about this program which sets it apart from other
samplers is the maximum sample rate that it can achieve: 115Khz! This
program uses the normal Mastersound (mono) cartridge. As soon as I can
get variable sample length and rate, I shall be distributing it!
Right, I have to include this on Digital Disk now, and then i have
to see how much the lot packs to. So that's all from me for the time
being! - byeeee
