Videos of my Final Research Presentation
While looking through some old USBs I’ve discovered a recording of the final presentation of my Honours Research in late 2014. I had believed this was completely lost, like the video of my BSDCan presentation which was not successfully recorded due to technical issues.
The video files have been put on my ZFS research page. The orignals are shot in profile on a 2013 era smartphone and the volume is very low - I might to try and clean them up a bit, but very glad to have the files regardless.
How to extract an Android APK off an old device and install it to a new one with ADB
The old OpenIntents shopping list app I have used on my Android phones since around 2011 is no longer available on either the Google Play Store or the F-Droid FOSS Android Repository. I’ve tried several alternatives since getting a new phone earlier this year but much prefer the old OI app so was quite annoyed that it’s gone.
After a few months of struggling with inferior alternatives, today I realised I could simply pull the app off an old phone with ADB and put it on the new one.
The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a commandline tool for debugging Android apps, but can also be used for backups, file transfer from PC to/from phone, a remote shell from PC to phone and other purposes.
How to use a Unix PC as a Vocal Monitor
If you have a computer running on Linux or BSD, a microphone connected to it, and a desire not to spend $50 on a very small amplifier, you can use a one line shell script to listen to yourself sing instead.
Listening to yourself through a vocal monitor gives a better indication of the pitch and timbre of your voice than just listening to yourself, as the sound reaching your ears from your mouth is affected by resonating through your head, like listening to someone talk through a bone wall covered by a wet blanket. A monitor will therefore be a more accurate reproduction of what you sound like to everyone else than “directly” listening to your own voice.
