Episode 9 problems

Some of the more observant of you (i.e. those who are not deaf) will notice that there are problems with the volume in the latest episode of the podcast. It was my doing, as I wasn't taking enough care with how close we spoke to the microphone. Sometimes it was quite close (so it was very clear) and sometimes not close at all.

This is why the last podcast took so long. I couldn't normalise the whole podcast because the soft bits stayed soft since the max volume was originally reached by the loud bits. So, I tried increasing the volume for the patchy bits, but they're still patchy, I know. Much better than the original, though.

If anybody smart out there knows how to solve this sort of problem, feel free to tell me. Might save me a bunch of effort next time around.

• Music provided by Lokee (contact them by email).
• Malaysian Idol - Is Daniel a fair winner?
• Jocelyn says she isn't trying to justify his victory - but I think she does.
• Jessy likes Daniel but also recognises that Danies isn't the best singer.
• Little Girl in a Reverie had a post about cadavers which we couldn't call up during recording, so I made a comment about her decision to delete her NS diary instead.
• Rajan Rishyakaran is upset with Maxis.
• The Hustler is trying to start a dating agency. We're skeptical about it.
• Lim Kit Siang has a blog (on Blogspot) that has recently been spammed.
• I had said that Chew Mei Fun didn't have a website - my mistake, she does have one, and it's fairly good, I must add.
• There have been some posts about applying to Oxford University. I add my take about why it's good to go there.
• An innocent looking post by Willwolf about a Kindergarten concert turns strange three quarters of the way down.

Delay in Episode 9

This post is to apologise about the delay in coming out with Episode 9. I should have done it by yesterday but life has a bad habit of getting in the way of work.

Bear with me, as a teaser, topics we discussed were: Why Daniel won MI, Applying to Oxford University, Lim Kit Siang's Blog and Hot Mamas at a kindergarten concert.
