I think I may enter now, I'm having too much fun listening to these lol Anyone know of a good free audio mixing program? I need to be able to combine two sound files. Thanks!

as said before, you need to get audiacy. Good program for mixing and doing simple audio stuff.:)

Some sites participating in the 31 Days of the Dragon competition are effectively asking for 'who is the most worthy' to receive the prize, with participants posting stories related to their hardships etc. This is one approach, but not one I have chosen to take here. So no, the judging of the competition won't take into consideration personal circumstances - it's judged solely on the audio recording :)

That's why I say this is the best contest I have seen thus far, and by far.

I noticed throughout these contests that some were not made for certain people. I know I probably didn't qualify for some of the ones I entered BUT I sure tried. Some people are going to find this one a challenge just like I found some of the others. However this one was deffinately made for someone like me and I am happy for this.

Good luck everyone!!!

I'm posting mine now to get it over and done with!

Apologies if you cannot understand my accent. :pinch:

That's one strange accent you have there. It almost doesn't sound British to me.

This is the one I want to be judged on.

something i mixed for the competition

Hahahaha. That was good!

Here is mine for fun. ;)

Thanks Rob for fixing the attachment part.

Hehe, nice spoof. I noticed you used the word "frack". Are you a BSG fan? :p

here is my final submission to be judged on. And yes ignore the other 3.

I want to be judged on this one

This is the same submission I did back a few pages labeled "Death of a Dragon"

I wasn't happy with some of the audio levels 1/2 way through, so I fixed them and am submitting the fixed version.

Death of a Dragon 1.01 :)

Chris Pirillo of Lockergnomes contest is like joining a Boot Camp.

- You must join the website (which is not unreasonable, but check out the rest)

- Subscribe to his YouTube Channel

- Leave a comment everyday between now and the draw to increase your chances of winning

- Be in the chatroom the day of the draw (May 29th)

The above gives even more credibility to NeoWin's approach and all I can say to Chris Pirillo and Lockergnome, forget you! People do have a life, why should I sit in a chatroom everyday watching Chris Pirillo do nothing but surf the web.

you don't have to join his site.

mainly make comments on his blog and sub his YouTube.

as for the chatroom thing, more likely, he'll record the giveaway and post it on YouTube and other video sites.

Thanks. ;) As for BSG, I sure am. :)
Woot BSG FOREVER!

Yeah! :woot:

I'm going to record my entry tomorrow. My concept so far is quite interesting. I can't wait to read the replies!

I hope I'm replying properly to this thread this time.

And I hope that I am posting this revised audio file in the proper place.

Please accept this revised audio file as my final submission.

Thanks for your patience and understanding if I don't follow the accepted way of doing the post.

Thanks for the opportunity. Below is the original script for this recording if anything is hard to decipher.

A Warning to the general public.

The Draconic Protection Agency, along with other local organizations, reminds you to be cautious when associating with dragons. This agency seeks to remind the public that dragons are extremely sensitive creatures. It is within the power and ability of the general public to befriend local dragons, and assist them in becoming productive members of our society.

The agency also warns you that a dragon?s sensitivity can cause unpleasant and dangerous situations when coupled with their dramatic swings in emotion. Just because a dragon does not show emotion does not mean they do not feel. You are advised to keep local dragons away from American films, the Klu Klux Klan, and the Roman Catholic church.

A public service announcement from the EPA, DPA, DVD, BVD and this station.

I'm recording this on vacation in Margarita, Venezuela ahaha

Original Script:

"What you'd do if you had a real life dragon at your disposal. Alternative pet? Crime-fighting force to be reckoned with?"

I wouldn't spend time doing that. I'll leave that to the individual cities. I would put a saddle on the dragon, strap myself on, use a Verizon Wireless card to access the internet, and log on to Neowin.net everyday, to help users and travel to their individual houses to assist with any technical problems. As simple as that.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
