you're welcome, subby. damn, maybe that first link hit it's bandwidth limit. here's the html original:

EDIT: ball-on-string is 5th item down and works fine for me from this alternate site.

maybe this guy should make a yoyo-simulation out of this? could be a fun & quirky game

the winnoise stuff was great as well... he should use audacity and make a "pro" release

(audacity is of course a sourceforge project btw

)

node, if i spent every day for the next thirty years of my life learning a new sourceforge project, how much progress would i make towards the current total?

i would be almost seventy years old by the end of that time- maybe they could make a holographic recording of me sitting in a chair like that guy harry seldon from asimov's foundation series. i could speak to future generations of sourceforge users with my amazingly innacurate predictions.

lol that just made me check how many projects there are...

SourceForge.net Statistics
Hosted Projects: 80,230

(30x365) + 7 extra days for leap years = 10957 days
80230-10957=69273 projects left
10957 of 80230 = 13.656986164776268228842079022809% ie. if you learnt 14 a day you would know them all in less than 30 years... but then we don't take new projects into account

i get your point...

audacity is still great for fiddling with audio formats though

(yes i used the wrong name earlier - audigrabber is a completely different app and has nothing at all to do with sf - sorry about that)

i'm a big fan of audacity!

seriously, i really do love sourceforge, and appreciate your recommendations. (hmm, we need a thumbs-up icon here... i like the VPF ones myself:

)
