I'm not a big competition person, but the idea of talking about all the totally mundane things I'd do with a dragon (with totally inappropriate bg music) seemed kind of amusing.

You'll probably realise quite quickly that improv comedy isn't my strong suit... then again, neither is any sort of comedy.

(oh yeah, and the "totally inappropriate bg music" is by me)

Haha and SkyyPunk... if there was a Digg button just for your accent, I'd digg it.

:laugh:

For those who need something to make MP3s:

What I used (and to me is a great program, very quick to do basic editing) is Audacity, and they have a link for the LAME mp3 encoder that works with audacity. Just record, export as mp3, and finished!

Another +1 for Audacity. I edit all of the NeowinCAST shows using it. Sure, there's more feature-packed audio editors out there but for the level of editing I do, you can't beat Audacity.

Also the best thing about Audacity is that, it's Free. :) It's performance level matches some of the expensive audio softwares.Another +1 for Audacity. :)

[*]Reply to this thread and attach an MP3 of under 2MB and no more than 1 minute in length

Hello everybody.

Its one of the most interesting dragon's competitions so far. But I have one question. since I already have a conception for the interesting stage, but I am afraid that I can not fit in one minute. whether it isn't possible in order to extend the time till two minutes?

Greetings.

Well, I have attached my entry. I have bit of feedback because of the microphone. Thanks for the contest and good luck to all contestants. I used XP's sound recorder to record and edit in Roxio. If you are not hearing me, just turn up your speakers.

Wow. What a great idea. I love how you let people submit multiple entries, so they aren't afraid to try a few times.

One suggestion: what if you have some kind of rating system that lets the forum users give feedback on which entries they like? Maybe his would be a bit hard to do, with all the competitors you're likely to get, but you could list, say, the top five, or ten. I know the administrators get to pick, but it might liven up the competition anyway. Also, if someone did submit a number of entries, it might help to be able to see which was the best liked. Anyway, just a thought.

Now a couple questions: How long can someone wait to decide which entry they want judged? Could it be later on, even toward the end of the contest, so they could get an idea of which was the best one via user or administrator feedback? Also, can two different people from the same household compete? Seems fair to me, since there can only be one winner, but then I don't set the rules.

Thanks for an awesome contest.

Hi Tim, thanks for the feedback, we'll talk it over as a staff team. As for your questions, feel free to submit as many as you want and so long as you indicate before the competition closing date which one you want judged, that's fine by us. And sure, more than one person from the same household can compete.

Well, Here is my Entry into the competition. Hopefully the Judges won't find this blannnnnnnnd.... ;)

Also, I would like to point out that this was all done with one breath speaking loudly... lol.

    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus?
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
