Re: skype/ichat for setting up daughter's semester abroad? - 13 years ago

my suggestion would be a Skype acct for both sides. That way you can both use your computers for access with no charge. It works very well. But I'd add a USB headset for both. Significant improvement over speaking into a laptop. The Logitechs can be found for $15 or so.

Now I have a great device with a crapy provider. Perhaps I should move overseas where GSM works. Nah, the pizza and bagels suck.

Re: older Brother printer & G4 pbook, prints reverse - 13 years ago

I had him update his driver from Brother site. We then deleted the existing printers in PSU. Rebooted and his printer came up with the new driver (though the version looks to be the same under info). Voila! It prints normal and it worked after a number of shut down/start ups, so I think and hope it finally stuck. I did have him dl the Brother BRAdmin Lite though we didn't get that far as h

he had an awesome voice - no doubt. "You'll Never Find" still kills, between his voice, a great arrangement (remember arrangements?) (Gamble & Huff) and a crack band (MFSB). My former employer Joe Tarsia was chief engineer and Jay Mark also, as I remember, though it was done at the Phillie Sigma Sound. I turn that up to 11 in the car and put the sound system to work.

Re: ATA internal drive with SATA external? - 13 years ago

just to clarify for my own head, the SATA and PATA connectors are different so the guts of the enclosure needs to have both connectors inside and/or is there an adaptor?

Re: insulating a crawl space - 13 years ago

I can get in, but the dirt has something on it. Could be fiberglass or concrete, dunno. We'll see what the AirKrete rep says when I finally contact one.

Re: insulating a crawl space - 13 years ago

Yes there are joists. The joists to the ground (which is surfaced with something, though I'm not sure what). I've seen Air Krete contained with mesh rather than Tyvec as it spreads the weight rather than concentrate it. Tyvek does tear, and without a pantload of staples, I could see the method easily failing. The problem here is that in some parts, there isn't enough space for a member of t

insulating a crawl space - 13 years ago

way out I know but ...... we have a small crawl space of around 22x8 with a varied depth of 6" to 18". It's in the south end of the house and is quite cold in winter. I'm thinking about blow in cellulose or Cementitious foam/Air Krete. The floor is old hardwood that I'm quite reluctant to pull up to build a "contained" space in between the joists. Has anyone any ideas f

Re: Good and/or inexpensive AUDIO cleanup software? - 13 years ago

NP. If Audacity has 3 band EQ, top & bottom shelf with a mid peak/dip, you may want to make a narrow Q (or bandwidth) and small dip between 700 and 1.5Khz. That is the "nasal" band. The frequency center will depend on the speaker and whether male or female.

Re: Good and/or inexpensive AUDIO cleanup software? - 13 years ago

pretty good for the price. A little 4:1 compression, a 6-12db roll off shelf at 125 to 200hz, a tilt up at 2000-8000, depending, of about 3-6db. If you're in the NYC area or don't mind sending files, PM me.
