no sound from hydrogen with jack ….. what the?
January 13th, 2011If you have no sound from hydrogen with jack then you could try the solution mentioned on the hydrogen-music.org forum which points out a fix that involves editing you ~/.hydrogen/hydrogen.conf file. This worked for me running ubuntu maverick 10.10 and hydrogen 0.9.4 and jack2d running from qjackctrl 0.3.6 . And if that solution does not solve your no sound from hydrogen with jack problem then keep searching those lovely forums for help…. Now I must actually add that cheesy 909 beat to my little dittie that I made last night…
love….
it’s the least I could do for freedom of information…
December 7th, 2010wikileaks web site changed
December 4th, 2010If you want the cable docs from their latest release I found the link to be down because it was pointing to the old domain. I searched for the cable docs at https://thepiratebay.org using the search term “wikileaks” and downloaded the torrent file. You’ll need torrent client software to use the torrent file. If you don’t know what I’m talking about do some research on how to use bittorrent but don’t download any old torrent client, I recommend Transmission from http://www.transmissionbt.com/
Stay well..stay open..

September 14th, 2010Maningrida ahoy….
July 30th, 2010we both rode into Darwin the week before last and stayed at our great friends place in Humpty Doo for a week before I flew into Maningrida and Ella flew to Darwin.
I don’t know where to start really so the reason why we did not ride into Maningrida is because the NLC (Northern Land Council) do not issue permits for travel to motorbike riders. Thanks for stating this on your website NLC but you don’t find out until you,ve put your permit application in. Bizarro NLC. We are just suppose to be born with the divine rules of the NLC inside our knowledge systems. Maybe this assumption has been overlooked and a letter to the NLC stating the error of their ways…. Ohhhh well, lesson in planning 1.0 or ya just find interesting things out when you go out your front door.
Enough bansh, enough bansh, where’s the piccies and where did you go? The following map is not complete. i am updating this as I find time so it will change and grow as we go. If you are reading this post and their is no map to see then try clicking the heading this post above “Maningrida Ahoy….”. These maps only work when view the actual post page, not the main page.
back in the uncivilised
June 30th, 2010There’s a gallery of photos called ‘the first day’ which I have up loaded so have a look at the silliness that we got up this day. It’s been an amazing journey so far and it’s only about 2 weeks since we set out. We are having to change our plans quite a bit. We haven’t got a permit to travel to lajamanu and the sand on the road would have made that leg of journey quite a bit longer than we anticipated. There has been a lot of realisations for us in how bloody hard it is to actually ride up the dirt tracks that are not maintained. Lots of fun and on some days we only made 33 kms. 20 kms of deep sand track doesn’t make for a quick journey on a motorbike with at least 50kgs on the back. Never the less we have a pile of stuff to send via post from Tennant Creek which will lighten out load a bit. We also only just ate some of the food that we actually bought from Alice Springs, that’s a long way to cart food. We’ve shopped differently this time at Tennant.
More plan changes are afoot with the NLC being narcky about giving us a permit to travel from Numbulwar to the Central Arnham Road. Looks like they are not happy to even give contractors permission to travel on this road. So we may have to go up the Central Arham road to Balma and Mirinatja Homelands to do our little Bushlight Maintenance Service. This is not really a good option as the roads are frequently cut by the rivers running over the road. We can only run though about 600mm of water before the spark plugs start getting water in them. We’ll see as we head up the road. Maybe some more changes are afoot this evening as we asses which way to turn from Tennant Creek. I reackon it will be out to the Barkley Homestead and on up the Tableland Highway to Cap Crawford and the Heartbreak Hotel!!! We need to find a guitar for Ella to pose out the front of the door to this monument. So the photos are taking their time to upload and I am getting sick of sitting on this hard chair. No sheep skin on this one! Speaking of sitting on chairs I haven’t really been sitting on the motorbike seat at all. Most of the riding has been standing up and some tips from riders of the past that we have met on the road has made the journey a little easier.
