Sounding good, so I think.
Coming up to the end of the month, what should I read for this year’s Halloween? The Rope? The Call of Cthulu? Another Edgar Allen Poe story?
How was the bus ride? PUKE!
Would you wait 30 minutes for a tanghulu? We did. It was WORTH IT!
New SLV podcast up, Episode 61 - all about why I came to China. Thinking… how many episodes can I do a month and how big does the file have to be?
Calculations for SLV podcast: what if I lowered the bitrate? You don’t need 48,000KHz do you?
48MB
48x4 = 192MB
40x4 = 160
162/4 = 40.5 (at 48,000 KHz) = 32 minute podcast
And Starbucks changing things up, looks like they want to make people quit and reduce the workforce.
