Ramblings about tech, music and more
I’m reposting this from an email I received from the people over at 38 Degrees, because it’s important. The BBC Trust has now launched an official consultation on its proposals for massive cuts to its services. It’s asking us to email to say what we think of their plans to cut their website in half […]
Continue ReadingHold on tight, this one’s a wobbly electro treat with a bit of dubstep thrown in for good measure with sounds from the likes of Ellie Goulding, Joe And Will Ask?, Riton, and Hostage. Crank the volume way up, and get your weekend started with some serious oomph! If you love the Unadopted Podcast, please add […]
Continue ReadingSo. It’s been on TV now so I’m allowed to talk about it. The BBC just showed an episode of Horizon called To Infinity and Beyond, and I got a credit at the end of it. Shiny. :) Why? Because I made something shiny that helps answer the age old question: If a monkey sat […]
Continue ReadingBringing things way downbeat (around the 105bpm mark) and spanning a whole bunch of genres, here’s some nice music from the likes of Mr Scruff, Q-Tip, Boards Of Canada, Bis and Moonbootica. I’ve been wanting to play a whole bunch of this stuff for ages, but it’s a lot slower than the usual Unadopted Podcast […]
Continue ReadingGoing to Soulwaxmas last weekend made me want to record another podcast session. Music this time around from Faithless, Sidney Samson, Delphic, Florence, Dizzee, Zombie Nation, Felix Da Housecat and more. Get stuck in! If you love the Unadopted Podcast, please add Unadopted on Facebook and tell your friends about the podcast! Want to send […]
Continue ReadingIt’s time for another funpacked session, with awesome sounds from the likes of Foamo, Boys Noize, Fake Blood and Armand Van Helden’s rather dirty remix of an early nineties anthem. Crank the volume up and let your neighbours party too! If you love the Unadopted Podcast, please add Unadopted on Facebook and tell your friends […]
Continue ReadingI recently tried to use the image_science gem for Ruby, but it didn’t work after installation because it was looking for FreeImage.h. Thinking it’d be an easy fix, I headed over to http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ to go grab a copy of a binary file to install, but there wasn’t one. Undeterred, I went to grab the source […]
Continue ReadingI was having trouble making chan_sccp compile against Asterisk 1.6 — it kept dying saying that AST_CONTROL_T38 was undeclared. Turns out the solution is easy — Asterisk replaced AST_CONTROL_T38 with AST_CONTROL_T38_PARAMETERS, so you need to replace something in sccp_pbx.c. Full instructions available here.
Continue ReadingIt might be Monday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get up and party! New tracks from Simian Mobile Disco, Fake Blood and bunch of familiar sounding tracks to get your week off to a good start. Get stuck in, and help spread the word! If you love the Unadopted Podcast, please add Unadopted on […]
Continue ReadingI ran into some problems with Perl’s CPAN installer on Snow Leopard, notably, it didn’t work once Bundle::CPAN was installed. Every time I tried to install a package I’d end up with an error like this: Catching error: ‘Can\’t call method “value” on an undefined value at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64. ‘ at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/CPAN.pm line 281 […]
