unixronin: The kanji for "chugo" (Duty/loyalty)
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005 09:26 am

'Nuff said.  I anticipate all current and former teachers/professors among my readership will appreciate this....

(speaking of which, nice work, [livejournal.com profile] yndy.  Kinda sad that the poor boy still Doesn't Get It.  I diagnose chronic cranio-rectal inversion with associated coproactive vision impairment.)

I'd have used the humor icon here, except, well ... this strip's a little too true to really be funny.  So chugo gets the call.

Except that ...  well ... OK, it's funny.

I'm waiting to judge Benedict XVI until I see his actions.  Nevertheless, I find it disturbing (yes, you may infer the distinctive Jones tones there) that the man picked to be the new Pope is the man John Paul II, one of the more reactionary of recent Popes, picked to head up the Office of the Inquisition after he revived it.  I do not consider this a promising sign.

No, I'm not asking for help interrogating [livejournal.com profile] midiamin.  I'm hoping someone can point me at a decent MIDI editor with which, given a complete song rendered in MIDI, I can extract the most usable portion as a ring for a phone that, in practical terms, can use only MIDI ringtones due to memory constraints.  What I need is something akin to Audacity, but which works with MIDI.

 

Any suggestions?

 

(Oh, I do have to comment that there are some really good MIDI transfers out there ... but then again there are some really awful ones that sound like Led Zeppelin played on the electronic organ that your Great-Aunt Matilda plays for the church socials, by Great-Aunt Matilda, or like Aerosmith played on a tuba.)
