Echo Audiofire12 + Gentoo Linux
PoeticIntensity
**UPDATED ARTICLE HERE** (for using the new firewire stack)
Okay. I got my new Echo Audiofire12 3 days ago, and I now have it fully functioning on all 12 ports. I don't have MIDI working yet, but I haven't really tried on that one.
Here's what I did to get it working.
First, I'm using the 2.6.33-rt kernel. I enabled the OLD FIRE...

Linux: Extracting audio from video
PoeticIntensity
So, I used to use the -dumpaudio switch in mplayer to get audio extracted from random videos, but now that seems to do not much of anything. I found this site which had a great explanation of how to get it done a different way, but was a bit out of date. The newer version is found below:

3 Nephi : 30
PoeticIntensity
So, I'm pretty sure these words are being spoken to us, the Gentiles, and they are meant for people living now. The last chapter was spoken to those who would be alive during the coming of the Book of Mormon, and it doesn't seem like this chapter deviates from that.
Interesting that included in the list of "wicked ways" is t...

3 Nephi : 29
PoeticIntensity
Seems like chapter 29 is all about "spurning", and to be honest, I really don't know what that means. The word is used 4 times in 3 verses, and is used no where else in scripture. It's definitely something we shouldn't do, and may be related to "hissing" or "making game". Very interesting.
I believe...

So this week has been pretty awesome. First off, we finished up a project we've been pounding on for the past month or so, which is now doing its circles with the Salt Lake Real crowd. It's an anthem for Salt Lake's soccer team, and was written and recorded by Jesse Crowley. The drums were taken care of by our in-house drumm...

3 Nephi : 28 - Fulness of Joy
PoeticIntensity
So, I was reading this chapter when I came upon the phrase "fulness of joy" in verse 10. The phrase caught my eye primarily because it was only mentioned for the 3 Nephites who chose to stay. It was not mentioned for the others. That caused me to wonder how often the phrase "fulness of joy" is used in scr...

3 Nephi : 27
PoeticIntensity
Seems like the first half of this chapter is a gentile rebuke coming from Christ himself, to his Apostles, for not knowing the scriptures well enough. It seems like he goes on for a bit in the why, though. I wonder why it's so important to put across the point that things of Christ need to be done in Christ's name...? Seems ...
