  1. This is a little outside the "normal" world of audiphilia, but I have a pretty vexing problem. The right side transport of my Pioneer CMX-3000 is acting up. It can't read most CDs, regular or CDR. I am afraid the drive is failing and I'll have to ship it back to Pioneer. Before I go that route, I'd like to try cleaning it. I haven't owned a CD cleaner in more than a decade. From what I recall, they're not all created equal. Any suggestions on what brand name cleaning discs I should look for?

    I'm additionally worried in that the last disk I used (ca. 1994) was an audio CD with a brush on it. It included frighteningly cheerful music and a 1950s-style voiceover telling me to skip to track ## and play it for 30 seconds. If my CDJ unit can't read audio CDs, it probably can't read a cleaner disk like that.

  2. Yeeouch. :kitty:

    I think a small fracture like that will heal okay, but you might put your por hockey career on the back burner for it. Also, no visiting senile old aunties who like to pinch your cheek.

    Damn postjack with the quickness.

  3. hey guys. i was in an accident sunday afternoon. i just got out of the hospital this morning, and i'm about to go get four teeth replaced. got skinned up, had a concussion, fractured my cheek, broke 4 teeth, sprained 2 fingers, and lost a button off my favorite jacket. you should see the other guy.

    :o Damn, dude. The jokes about your luck being bad are officially no longer funny. It's quite clear you're cursed by an angry and vengeful deity. That said...

    :useless:

    ;D

  4. Now this is some DIY.

    From the article:

    What it does? Basically:

    * Navigate around, collect some data, avoid obstacles, until it

    * Finds something "worth playing on" (a single isolated object or a wide flat surface that it can find an angle onto)

    * Snakes into place

    * Plays some beats on what it have found, and samples this, checking it has a "good sound"

    * Based on data collected in the area, and sample just made, then compose a little rhythm, and plays this along with the sample

  5. That video is hugely popuar. The guy who made it hasn't done too many others, but there is this one:

    The video quality isn't as good, but the cats are quite talkative ...and somebody is snoring. ;D
