I’ve made a quick description of my field recording gear, you can find it here.

You can find my recorded sounds on Freesound.

As you have noticed, stor1.nonoo.hu does not work since last thursday. Everything will be available on stor2 or stor3, I’ll update the links in the evening wednesday evening (sorry, I’ve ran out of time).

It seems the server will be up again on thursday.

UPDATE: I’ve updated every download link on the site with a new mirror link, so everything should work fine now. Sorry for the downtime.

And some sounds I’ve recorded:

• crickets and cicadaes on the hill above the village
• beach at night
• walking in Crikvenica

I was on a short holiday with Piree and Dudu in Dramalj, Croatia from thursday to monday.

More pics are here.

I’ve made a very simple portable USB charger, using a 9V battery as a power supply. I’m using this to charge my MicroTrack when I’m in a middle of a field recording and power runs out.

I’ve used a 7805 voltage regulator IC, 2 pieces of 0.1uF electrolytic capacitors, a switch, battery holder, USB A connector, heat sink for the regulator, some wires and a plastic box. You can view the schematics here.

UPDATE: Mozso noticed me that two 100 nF ceramic capacitors are needed too. I’ve updated the schematics.

I don’t know how long the battery will last, but I’ll write about it. Unfortunately, (9V-5V)*500mA = 2 watts are dissipated through the heatsink.

New mix featuring lots of my favourite songs.

homeTVstream is a collection of shell scripts and a PHP-based webpage for watching TV on your LAN computers.

It is based on VLC, it encodes and streams video using port 8080 in an MMS stream, so you can watch it with VLC, using URL

, or any other MMS-capable player, using URL

, or just by opening the TV page in your web browser.

So homeTVstream is just a webpage and some shell scripts to configure VLC to stream TV.

More info on the project page.

I’ve created a page for my new app, fader (yes, all lowercase :) ). It’s a simple video effect generator utility. It creates a slow-motion
effect by fading between frames of an animation.

Here’s my new mix, with mainly guitar and vocal based tracks. Tell me your opinion about it!
