With the Ceremonial Fake Title Rant out of the way, let me say I like the title of the thread. It doesn't have the Xanforness of the last one, which automatically makes it better.

My bed has Little Mermaid sheets on it right now because there are no other sheets in the house right now. The LM sheets are quite comfortable, and I get a better sleep on them.

The title's been with me for, like, ever.  Been waiting patiently to use it.

What makes Little Mermaid sheets more comfy that normal ones?

Now it's not that bad.  It's better than the last test thread's name (no offense, Xanfor.)

VF, chill, grab some Vodka and orange juice and have a mellow Sunday morning...   :)

So this thread is made of bright red plastic lacking sharp corners then?

It better have a bell at least.

Somebody shake it to make sure.

That's right, you can't hurt yourself in this Test Thread.  It's got bright colours and shapes, and yes, it has a bell.

I just shook my laptop. It didn't quite sound like a bell but like a loose screw in there.   :hmpf:

edit: Found it! Harddrive was loose.

also: Congrats JoyJoe FishySauce  :)

A part of me wants to point out that she was joking, but a larger part just hopes you're not that gullible.

On a differently-related note, I bought orange juice aat the grocery store today.  Now I just need to find some vodka...

Also, title sucks, but not as bad as Xanfor's

I had to hold back from that one too.  VF is my best-friend on here, so I had a little chuckle.

@Melll: Get a job you hippy.

Also you're apparantly having a gig soon. E-mail me or post it or whatever crazy fandangled technology exists nowadays and I'll try and beg enough money to make it to London. I think I've still got a spare kidney. Maybe I could sell my appendix to research.

Okay, it just occurred to me that we have several of each of the following on this message board:

1) Nerds.
2) Music Nerds.
3) Computer Nerds.

Now, with that vast array of resources, I was wondering if anyone could help me determine if the following is possible: creating a program using a tablet PC's keyboard-and-stylus input to create MIDI files, as if the computer hardware itself were a MIDI-capable keyboard.

Any thoughts?

nerdo: certainly possible; if you're wanting it to graphically be a keyboard, realise that even if you mapped the keyboard keys to piano keys, you can't hit just any combination of keys together, so you couldn't "play" all chords as a combination of notes, though you could do a modifier system - keys for notes, modifiers to make it play different chords for that note. So you could easily make your computer a midi composer, but it would make a lousy performance instrument  ;) What I think would be cool is a tablet sheet music and tab composing system, where you can just draw/write out the notes.

That last part is also part of the functionality, apparently, and what I'm working right now.  Converting from sheet music input into some user interface to MIDI isn't so bad - it's no different from composing on a keyboard.  However, we apparently want to be able to convert MIDI sequences to our sheet music format so they can be edited visually by musician end-users who don't know anything about MIDI sequences.

Freaking end-users.

I think it's an option when you create a thread, not sure if it works though. Never seen the option anywhere else.

@ Melll:

Get off your ass and figure out a way to move to the states.  England doesn't appreciate you - but obviously you're loved by the Americans (I like you but I don't love you - I hope that you understand.)

Just think - if you or Archie get here to the states, there's always the chance of marrying VF - she does seem to like you Brits.  It's the accent, I tell you.  I fell in love with the beautiful Mrs. Kelly because of her wonderful Irish brogue (and her great personality and fantatic, feminine body.)

And BTW, today I've been on this mudball of a planet for 46 glorious years.

Nice title, not as good as "New test: Directors Cut" but lets face it nothing can top that one.

No, never was, never will be. The only option is for the thread creator who can tick of the appropiate option on creation. That is all.

Also subscribtion is one of them new bling-bling type, redundant and useless features the MB software creators put in to convince you you absolute, positivley have to upgrade to the new product. Back in my days....

Nasty: I think if you click "Add Thread to your PEEL Favs" at the bottom of the page, it'll email you new posts. Just keep in mind that there's no way to make it stop. You'll keep on getting notices until the thread is locked, if I'm not mistaken.

Not a bad name for the thread.

I’d complain about them more, but they do a spectacular job of clearing out all the dust from the inside of our lampshades. Haha, stupid fuckers!

I just made a killer mini sangwich/sammich:
Ham, Bacon, Tikka Chicken, Salami, Tomato, Lettuce, Cheese, Mayo.

There was Chinese chicken and turkey there too, but I didn't want to overload the structural sammich matrix with too much meats, y'know, in case of sangwichular cascade failure.  :eek:
My record is 5 meats, I think.  :D

I have dumb project for school. I forgot I don't have Mirosoft word for this computer.

I should make a animated movie about a bunch of internet nerds like people here on PEEL. That would be cool, but it has been done before I bet. If not don't steal it. I will sue you!
