1) Introduction

This report concerns the NanoPad Arpeggiator, an interactive music system which uses Max/MSP and a Korg NanoPad MIDI controller to create minimalist-style music with a random element. The report will discuss development, functionality and setup instructions.

I can see this consuming much of my day. It's in for tomorrow... not that I'm leaving it until the last minute or anything...

Don't worry, r, I left a coursework essay so far to the last minute that I ended up doing it... 6 months late.

It wasn't my fault though!

Why wasn't it your fault Dogmantra?

Perhaps the pencils were taunting him and he had to kill them all?

I changed sets (I'd been put in B set, and I really felt I should be in A set, and most people agreed), and A set had done different coursework to me, so I didn't finish it over the Christmas holidays (like you were supposed to if you hadn't finished already) because I wasn't sure if they'd want me to do the same as the A set. They didn't but I didn't get around to finishing it ("revision" for exams and whatnot, getting in the way) until they actually gave me a deadline, then I handed it in... the day before.

Eh, I'm not feeling the pressure at all. In fact I'm about to go down to the shop for a pork pie and a can of Fanta.

I have no idea what you mean. You're mid-gender alteration surgery, right?

Okay, fine, I do know. And that secret is that this is just random text to make you think I'm sharing information when really I'm not. BWA HA!

So the past few days have been fairly remarkable for me. Three days ago I made an incredible discovery. Basically I found something I'd been looking for for eight bloody years. Yesterday I shared that discovery with a friend, but unfortunately I'm unable to share that which was found with you lovely UESPers, so the discovery shall have to remain between the two of us. For today, anyway.

Try tidyin up more often and it wouldn't take eight yrs to find it!!

Today instead of runnin out into the sunshine, new KoL content has kept me fixated! So time to try and tear myself away now and run out while there is still abit of sunshine (though I suspect that I prob won't make it!).

Today i was asked the most stupid question ever by a customer at work.

There I was, stocking up the shelves, and of course, wearing my ultra-sexy uniform. (lol). And this bloke comes up to me and says "Excuse me, do you work here?"

... No. I wear this for fun and enjoy pretending to work at the Co-op on my weekends. -_-;;

Why would anyone want to do that? I don't get it, and to be honest I don't
like James Bond.
Therefore I must call your masculinity into question. All real men, whether they admit it or not, a) want to be James Bond and b) are obsessed with spaceships.

Oh, I guess that I don't have to worry then, since I'm a girl.

Or is that just what you want us to think?

Yes, because I would gain so much if you thought that...or wait! I would not benefit from that at all.
And by the way who would want to pretend to be a guy?!

I could easily understand if it was the other way around, but this makes no sense.

I can top you. I was at work, wearing my blue Walmart vest and a Walmart hat with my Walmart ID on. I was quickly pulling bags of marshmallows from a box and placing them on the shelf. Woman walks up, "Do you work here?" I hold my tongue and remark with a bag of marshmallows in hand, "Yes, ma'am. Can I help you?" to which she replied with "Can you tell me where the marshmallows are?"

I'm still stying to get out of Fianls, which I DO NOT have to do...I'm pretty sure I'd rather stay home then do 120 something Social Studies questions. Not to mention run the risk of ruinging my A adverage

It's a good thing those don't include a typing test, either, eh?

I only have two more exams left, then I'm done with having to study until October. I'm writing an easy theory of narrative exam tomorrow, and a very diddicult Greek and Roman philosophy one next Wednesday... the first one I actually really have to study for.

r · Post by r » Tue Jun 02, 2009 12:09 pm

I don't have any exams left now, just a 'presentation' which I've been informed is more of an informal exchange of banter tomorrow morning then I'm finished with uni...

Yesterday I bought a new computer!!!

*Runs around in circles, screaming of joy*
Problem is I can't plug it in until I've painted the new section of my desk, and bought a new bookshelf.

Today I found out what grade I will get in English, and that didn't make me less happy. And now I really should study.
I've got an exam tomorrow...and it's physics...and I don't think it will go well...and that sucks.

Eh, whatever *starts singing* I've got a new computer, I've got a new computer

If you need any advice on painting im the man to see, im like michaelangelo, i hate painting but im good at it.

Today Mrs T found out firsthand how a masochist reacts to being scratched, well, clawed, on the back by someone who has sharp nails.
