Building a heat exchanger (RL) - I made this!
http://picasaweb.google.com/chris.whitworth/HeatExchanger

As a fellow heat hater I demand to know more. Is it effective?

Well... heh. It's marginally less effective than, say, opening a window. But
then I'm yet to try it with icy water on a day where the temperature outside
isn't noticably cooler than it is inside (my room traps heat, being a loft
conversion). I'm going to buy a bag of ice on my way home and see if that
works any better. I've got a load of copper piping left over so version two
may involve a closed system and a pump and a second heat exchanger buried in
ice.

Your Money (RL)
Yes, I want everyone here to buy my album. That's right, I've managed to
get a record label to release my album. :) If you're interested in
hearing the future of electronic music from South Wales then you can
pick it up for a fiver (free p&p) from:

It's got some chip noises in it, so it's not OT.

The sample track that I managed to dig out after hunting around the website
for a few minutes sounds interesting - what gear to you use? There's some
nice glitchy noises in there.

Mainly a mixture of the Creamware Scope suite, a sequencer, some self-written
audio software, a microphone, a Korg M1 & Nord Micromodular and a human brain
in a portable furry case.

I've not come across Scope before, although I've heard of Pulsar. It looks...
quite impressive :) Certainly blows my modest setup away (Orion Platinum,
Edirol UA-5, as many free weirdy noisemaking plugins as I can find, Yamaha CS2x
complete with a set of sounds that went out of fashion in 1996) To be fair, my
problem is usually one of inspiration more than anything else; you certainly
don't seem to struggle there :)
