quag7: what crap have you been listening to that inspired you to put the stuff about suicide in there. My suggestion is start listening to some happier music.

I tried to listen to the song but a few things stopped me:

1) The voice was really low and I would have had to blast my speakers to hear it.
2) I have Klipsch speakers and if I had them up they wouldn't distort but instead would blow my room apart if someone logged in/out on Gaim[I use Halo sounds for login/logout].

So I just read the lyrics instead.

That last song posted by whoever it was kind of blew chunks. I didn't see how the lyrics could be pulled together via any music.

Interesting....

I would like to pose a serious question. The song establishes that Gentoo rocks since everything is fully optimized since it's all compiled from source.

While I can see how that is definitely a benefit of Gentoo--as opposed to other binary based distributions such as my beloved Debian or Slackware--may I ask how you were able to compile the FhG encoder from source to compress your track to the MP3 format?

I would have thought that LAME or OGG Vorbis would have been a better choice, since the source code is available for those encoders.

Just curious...

At first, I thought this was going to be a joke/funny song. You know, the listen-once-laugh-and-delete kind. Definately not the case. So I'll be keeping this, at least until we get an extended version

Hi,

Just had an idea to check if there had been any changes to the forum and i'm stunned at the respons

. If you people are serious in wanting more, just say the word.

And i agree that the sounds is abit low on the recording, but i'll see if i can normalize it abit.

Having it running while installing gentoo would of course be the ultimate dream for a nerdo-musico guy like myself. But it would take alot of people to pursuade the developers to include it.

I'll keep this place updated abit more often.

Oh and just for the record. My real name is Kristoffer, but call me Ken.

Now we need a music video!

rvalles · Post by **rvalles** » Sat Aug 21, 2004 9:33 am

Since mp3 is not free (http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/emd.html), it would rule if you encoded the original song in a free and actually the best (http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiforma ... sults.html) format available, that is, Ogg-Vorbis (oggenc, emerge vorbis-tools).

Naturally Ogg is a better choice allround
