I was hoping it'd be Darude - Sandstorm.

Just memee enough to make it a horrid April Fool's joke.

That's cool that you used your own voice to put the sound effects together.

That's forwardslash's voice :)

I seriously thought it was you, tng, in your best girly voice.

It is, I was just messing with /.

I recorded like 20 different phrases that weren't used. insomniasexx -you should make that a post :) I know you and I laughed out asses off when listening to them, I'm sure others would too.

    in your best girly voice.
Actually am_Unition, I was channeling my inner Ralph Wiggum

"They taste like burning" may be my all-time favorite Simpsons line.

Here's the demo link. I'll make a post tomorrow. Someone told me never to let anyone know who did the voices. Is that cat out of the bag yet? LOL

OK, now I know what mk was talking about when he mentioned limiting this implementation.

I mean, I would've just been un-following, re-following, and

OH GOD bear with me, this is live stream of thought:

I've just tried out the first few voices, including "I FOLLOWED YOU!! :D" using a laptop, remote desktop'ing into my tower unit in my office at work. It is entirely possible that the speakers are turned on there, and not only was the audio routed through remote desktop to this laptop from which I type, but the clips also played from the speakers, in my office, and this is about the time the cleaning lady comes by... uhhhhh...

It is entirely possible mk has saved a hubski-ite a police report by only using some of the more tame clips.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WINDOWS REMOTE DESKTOP WILL PLAY AUDIO REMOTELY BY DEFAULT? THANK YOU.

Edit: It does not. Audio is only routed to the computer that initiated the remote desktop connection. I just breathed a sigh of relief.

Can't help you with Windows, but your comment has inspired me. I'm just going to leave this here:

   if [ `uname` = 'Darwin' ]
   then
        speak=say
   else
        speak=espeak 
   fi

   while true
   do
        sleep $(($RANDOM%600))
        echo "I'm following you"  | $speak
   done

I'm working in IDL right now.

What do you typically write in? I'm guessing some variant of C.

user-inactivated  ·  3575 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Python pays the bills. Common Lisp is my preference. The last significant C program I wrote was a game engine for a realtime graphics class, and that was enough to convince me that I never wanted to do that again.

thenewgreen  ·  3575 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, b_b mentioned it. I don't really care, they're funny as hell imo.

am_Unition  ·  3575 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You're actually not a bad Ralph Wiggum (what a terrible thing to tell another man!).

When I drive around by my lonesome, I try to get on this guy's level. I've always been good at voices, but still got plenty of work to do on that one.

thenewgreen  ·  3575 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That guy's got it pretty well down, doesn't (s)he. It's fun to do voices and to take on a persona. I enjoyed making the sound-bytes for this thing. Seriously, there were a ton of them. We even had a kleinbl00 specific one that I thought was hilarious YO. insomniasexx.
