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.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
