After seeing Loren’s tribute to the Heels, I’ve decided to similarly attire my blog for a bit in Carolina Blue. I’ll go back to the old color scheme (or maybe a new one?) but for now, the blog is going blue.
Just a few links from the morning after the tarheel win:
…you’re my only hope.
While I’m the mack-daddy of image formats (wanna know the dif between LZW compression, and GIF compression? Just ask), I am largely ignorant of the intricacies of audio manipulation. So I call to you, blogosphere: I have a WAV file of my blog presentation that I gave this morning, and I’d love to equalize the volume…it was recorded on a stationary mic, while I moved around. Thus, it fades sometimes, and I’d love to normalize the volume. Any open/free tools out there that anyone would recommend for VERY basic sorts of audio editing?
Here comes Carolina-lina
Here comes Carolina-lina
We hail from NCU
We’ve got the team to win it
We’ve got the spirit in it
We wear the colors white and blue
So it’s fight, fight, fight for Carolina
As Davie did in days of old
As we rally round the Well
Cheer that Tar Heel team like Hell
For the glory of NCU
….I’m giving a presentation called Blogs and Wikis: One of these words is English for MTSU and their 2005 IT Conference. Wish me luck! Oh, and check the blog out if you’re curious about the conference. At least, I hope the blog gets a workout…we’ll see. This is all new for MTSU.
Last night, our Tarheels beat Michigan State to move into the NCAA finals!
