Pissing down with rain today which is one day after recording the audio

I bought my wife a rose as per the tradition for St Jordi which is equivalent of St. Georges day in England. She gave me a book in English by Carlos Ruiz Zaphon - The Prisoner of Heaven. This is a sequel story to Shadow of The Wind which I read a couple of years ago.

In this audioboo I talked about going to the cinema to watch the movie Oblivion. I was able to understand what was going on because I read a synopsis before I went, which was just well because of the fact I watched the film in Spanish. My Spanish is fairly good for understanding what is going on, but then sometimes if I'm tired quite a lot of it will fly across the top of my head. I enjoyed the epic quality of the movie. A large expansive movie like that should be watched at the cinema. It also reminded me of a summer I went to see in Bradford which was extremely large. IMax cinema with a wrap around screen.

Talking to a guy at the camp site about his speedy recumbent bicycle that he uses in Germany to embarrass racing cyclists.

I really enjoyed the episode in Pretty Little Liars which a lovely homage to Hitchcock and the Bates Motel. Have had to turn off disbelief quite securely with this series but then it is aimed at teenagers. I have been impressed with all of the twists and turns along with bucket loads of 'red herrings' in the story. Talking about YouTube number of subscribers heading towards 1000 for my main channel. Now I will work on the vlogging channel numbers too.

Set up mail app Thunderbird for the sake of GPG Security

Well done to iJustine a Youtube super star. Old guy crashes his car into a gate and puts a huge dent in the gate.

Talking about wanting a motorbike. Waiting for a giant squid microphone lav mic to use with making video

One day maybe the world really will be a better place. Praying and religion is not the answer and is often the cause. Sympathies go to the real people affected by the hate and harm inflicted by cowardly bombers.

Video tutorial work for YouTube Stories and the work of the writer and what if questions

Recording the Boo at work Noisy kids are having fun in the site and also at the beach. I talk about my colleague who is a wrestler and stuff Happy days Would be better if I was relaxing rather than working. Day off tomorrow though.

Enter the text by speaking of typing and send it to any app from there. Like Drafts on the iOS operating system but for the Mac. I am at work and it is deathly quiet Today I recorded audio into Soundcloud, a competitor to Audioboo. Still love Audioboo though

This morning I have bought the application Twisted Wave to use on the iPad for recording audio. I have the iRig microphone which is a very good microphone for using with iOS devices and I have compared it with recording directly into my iMac using a Sampson condenser microphone. I am quite pleased with the results from the iRig microphone on the iPad, it just needs a little bit of tweaking to give it a richer more for sound. I can do this by applying a couple of filters and may be using a dynamics processor. Most often I record my Audioboo's directly into my iPhone and while I am out walking the dog, but sometimes it is quite nice to sit down as the computer and use good software and better microphones. What sort of microphones are you use when you are recording your Audioboo's?

Happy that Barça got through to next round of Champions League

I have been helping out a guy with encryption of emails. Took a while to find where the glitch was. I talk also about a Fitbit alternative, an app called Moves which records your movements an is a pedometer

I remember how things were difficult as a teacher with a young family during the 80s, privatisation, bad Maggie T, Falklands war, high interest, expensive mortgages. I had to work another job driving a taxi to make ends meet and leave teaching because I could not afford to live on the poor salary. Thatcher - ding dong the witch is dead.

I saw an electric scooter yesterday at the campsite and a Renault Twizzer today.

A night watching the Telly Morse and the derivative Lewis series Have to put the feet up and relax now and then.

Talking about the sounds of the campsite and about what my work colleague like to use his new Android phone for. He is more of a media consumption guy with his TV series and a bit of porn.

Bored at the camp site. But someone has to be here in case some guests arrive with caravans and tents. Listening to some Documentally podcasts and enjoying getting his take on the change from old style media of the newspapers, radio and TV to the news media future. Citizen journalism is scary for the old school types.
