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.
I've yet to find a method more effective than wetting your hair and
putting on a wet hat, whilst sitting in front of a fan. Easy and
effective.

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 :)
Scope is the re-branded name of the Pulsar series of cards. Awesome
hardware but I can't really recommend it because their support is
atrocious. However, if you don't mind feeling like an unloved orphan
then the capability of the Scope cards is fantastic.
re: Struggline for inspiration... the album took 10 years to write, so
it's not like I have a bottomless pit of the stuff. It's mainly an issue
of needing to be the composer, arranger, instrument manufacturer and
sound engineer all at once where traditionally those roles would be
carried out by a team. It takes time but I love the challenge.
