I did something! Some things aren’t working right, I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the GEM library loaded properly. Days like this I sure wish I had a laptop =) Oh well. Here’s my first attempt (ahem)….Or not. Apparently I’m not doing it right, b/c I can’t get a link to come up here….Jeez… This is the message I get: “File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.” What am I doing wrong?

Man, this thing is really frustrating. Pd seems as clear as day when I’m watching someone do it, then I go to sit down and do something and it makes absolutely no sense. In addition to that, my Pd doesn’t look the same when I pull it up as John’s does. When Pd first comes up on his screen, all of these things are scrolling across on his. Mine doesn’t do that. I haven’t loaded the GEM library in there yet, though, so maybe that’s it. All of these numbers and terms that I have no concept of the meaning of make it really hard to even teach yourself what to do. So here I am w/a deadline of Thursday and nothing made yet. I have faith that it will come together, I am just feeling ultra overwhelmed today and quite disenchanted. That’s all I’ve got for now. I need a cigarette, and not in a good way.

So, I realized that I have been slacking badly on this end of the project. This class is going to take a large amount of what little free time I had, I feel, at least until I get the basics of all of these new things I’m trying to learn down. I feel that this Pd program is incredibly interested; I am very excited that we’re going to hear from so many great lecturers, yet I am intimidated by the amount of work it’s going to take. John is right, it’s a bit overwhelming, but I’m willing to bet that it’s worth every second. More to come later, I’m going to work on Pd right now. I’ll upload a file of what I accomplish =) c u. andrea

Fortunately, this is not as complicated as I had initially thought.

what if we could create software similar to that of that glove, except for djs. there would be sensors on the hand to track the finger movement and positions relative to a turntable spindle when a dj is scratching records. It could be developed more as a tutorial software for djs to see where their form is incorrect. It could be developed further into a game similar to simon (that game from the 90’s with the lights that light up in a sequence, then you have to repeat it), only instead of repeating light sequences, one would repeat the scratch sequences. The software could also aid in scratch notation and transcription.
