My gift to you: a little ditty I wrote in 2005, but recorded at 4:45 a.m. on December 17, 2010 when my dog woke me up.  Hey, you're welcome.

An audio version of Quit Following Me (in MP3 format).

This is a downsample of the original FLAC file.

An audio version of I can be led, so lead me (in MP3 format).

This is a downsample of the original FLAC file.

An audio version of GCPEDIA Peer Helpers - "Official" Rollout (in MP3 format).

This is a downsample of the original FLAC file.

 

An audio version of It's Your Job to Edit GCPEDIA: Add It to Your PLA (in MP3 format).

This is a downsample of the original FLAC file.

An audio version of ONLY YOU Can Prevent Edit Wars in MP3 format.

Doesn't sound nearly as crisp or solid to my ears as the FLAC I downsampled it from, but it's acceptable, and still easier than reading!

This is a presentation on Open Source I created for Interactive Multimedia & Design (IMD) students enrolled in the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) Degree program (a joint collaboration between Carleton University and Algonquin College).

Greetings Thom and class,

I regret I am unable to schedule a live delivery of this presentation.  I hope this is an adequate substitute, though it obviously isn't interactive.

If you have questions, please email me!  My address is given in the netcast and the presentation slides.

Pardon the quietness of the recording.  This was my first attempt at using a USB mic and I set the level much too low.  This required a lot of post-processing with multiple boosts and noise reduction passes.  Time permitting, I could have made an amazing recording now, given what I've learned in the process, but...  :)  ...no time to re-record

Presentation audio (MP3 format) [37.4 MiB]

Presentation audio (Ogg Vorbis format) [36.4 MiB]

The MP3 version of the presentation is streamable from this host, and both formats are downloadable if you'd like to listen from your personal audio player.

Best wishes,

- Todd.
