And you can testify that my sentences were much more complete and coherent than they were before the first coffee!
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I need coffee. I've been trying to resist, but it's futile.

I don't even try.

Hey, can one of the sound geniuses in the audience convert a 5 second .wav file to a .midi for me?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um... that type of conversion is more difficult than it might sound.

yes, I suspected as much with the difficulty that I had finding it online. But, with at least three sound professionals on the board, I was hoping that it could happen. The sound is literally 4 notes (it's the Kim Possible Kimmunicator sound) and I want it on my treo to notify me of mail :)

Oh, aren't they always.

Actually, aren't midi files the plinky sort of child's-piano ones? So I can see how there'd be a lot of information in a wav file that would make it tough.

Damn. I thought I'd actually found a doctor, but looking on her center's web site I see that she's all holistic and prefers not fixing problems with pills, or at least not long-term. In theory I'm all for that, but right now I want to keep on with my long-term pills, because I don't have time to fix my life.

MIDI is sorta' like the old player piano rolls - it just specified what notes to play, for how long, and what instrument to (attempt to) emulate. (eta: so MIDI is not actual sound, just instructions for a synthesizer to create certain sounds.) To convert a .wav file to a MIDI file entails analyzing the music to determine, "OK, that note is a G sharp, this other note is A flat, and it sounds sorta' like an acoustic piano, or in any event the "acoustic piano" MIDI sound is probably the closest one of the MIDI sounds available, so we'll just go ahead and use that one...."
If it's just four notes, it would be fairly easy for a keyboard musician to play it and record the MIDI data for you.

Let's skip that and go straight to giving this week a knee to the 'nads. Repeatedly.
