Location: England | Hi all,
Just a quick note to let everyone know I will be at the MusikMesse 2009 in Frankfurt on the 1./2. April, courtesy of Steinberg. So, if people are planning to be there and want to chat about reViSiT or related projects in person, let me know and I'll be happy to clear a window in my schedule. There's no reViSiT stand, but I hope to chat with various VST host manufacturers about reViSiT, and perhaps find some who are willing to provide copies of their software that I can use to debug host-plugin anomalies. 'Hope to see you there! Chris |

They're like regular exams, or tests. You do those to close 8-week modules 'n such. Typically you do like 16 of 'm each year or so. |

Location: Netherlands | Whole book: Dutch Politics (most worthless book ever, thank heavens someone from my group arranged a summary)
Half a book: Communication (redo :P) - and a nearly as worthless book -
Chapters from a book: Reporting
Two small books: Writing for an audience
+ I've to do an articles on something and 3 reports (1x court, 1x local government (bleh), 1x video of a local government)
The study itself is 'Journalism', dunno whether I've mentioned that earlier or anyway. So, yeah, in case my postcount didn't reveal that fact yet: I'm an hopeless writer. :P Most ppl I speak to (who know I'm into music) don't really understand why I'm doing all this. |

Location: England | The Messe was good. I talked to a number of manufacturers and magazines about reViSiT and the research, with many positive results. Thanks to the economic situation, the aisles were a little wider than normal - and so Ableton and Mackie were nowhere to be seen - but a number of host manufacturers seem eager to support reViSiT and the experiment, offering support contacts and NFR (not for resale) copies of their software for testing/debugging. This will help a lot, since some host demos are time-limited, allowing me only 30-days of debugging - e.g. SONAR.
I have to further liase with a few contacts, but some articles on reViSiT and the experiment might also start appearing in magazines - though due to the nature of the show, these'll be mostly German publications. Talking to others, this seems to be general impression - that the MusikMesse, although still huge, is being eclipsed by NAMM - though this might simply be a temporary dip because of the economic mood.
All in all, a good trip.
Best,
Chris
PS: How were the exams, CS_TBL? |

Location: Netherlands | Well, still got 3 to go. Wouldn't know the results before weeks from now. These 'exams' are spread over 2 weeks (1 day each week). I'm at 3/4 of the first year already, dang, time flies. First exam was about writing structures. Like identifying errors like: 'white snow', or 'the dead man who passed away', and more of those kind of things.
Talking about language.. I somehow have the impression there're jokes to be made with the term 'track record' :P |
