  1. Doctor Who (Season 22 Blu-ray): First full season with Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor. And have just started... The Outer Limits (1963 Series DVD): A mix of episodes I've never seen and episodes I've not seen in decades
  2. Heh, in a word: "Ouch" Doctor Who - "Slipback" - Episodes 1–6 - BBC Radio 4, 1985 • Colin Baker Complete Season One (classic series, season 22) - Disc 3 [of 8] - "Vengeance on Varos" extended edition
  3. Drat, and I don't own a Hi-MD device to test that out. Web MiniDisc Pro should be able to see Hi-MD devices if those devices are in standard mode. Sony's "newest" Windows driver for the MZ-M100 was released in 2007, and was aimed at Windows Vista. Someone built a 64-bit driver for Hi-MD devices, but from what I've read it seems to be hit-or-miss, and the MZ-M100 isn't listed as a 'supported' device. Though there are people in the comments who have mentioned the driver working with devices that aren't in the list. "Mr. Roboto" - Styx Icon - Audio CD - 2010 A&M Records:
  4. I've just learned there are more options for working with NetMD devices, including Web MiniDisc Pro, which has a number of new features.
  5. More success as a duo than in solo careers helped keep things going, I think. Looking at the "Years Active" sidebar on Wikipedia helps illustrate that: 1956–1958, 1963–1970, 1972, 1975–1977, 1981–1984, 1990, 1993, 2003–2005, and 2007–2010 A great deal of amazing work has come out of stormy partnerships.
  6. Moore can be heard as a radio announcer in the 1997 film version of The Saint. He also played Bond in a television comedy sketch: What I watched most recently: "Family Guy Episode IV Blue Harvest"
  7. For a game reference that's a bit long-in-the-tooth: "The Superhero and the Legal System" - Adventurers Club - Issue # 12 - pp. 8–22 - Summer 1988 It covered (briefly): Precedent Legal Sanction Private Citizen Vigilante Special Deputy The Legal Process Determination of a Crime Investigation Arrest Booking Initial Appearance Preliminary Hearing Grand Jury or Information Arraignment Trial Subpoena Jury Duty Testimony Resolution Sentencing The Law and Secret IDs Losing the Secret ID Masks and Code-Names Proving Identity Special Problems Liability Heroes Using the Legal System Disadvantages
  8. "The Hitchhiker" - The Mercury Summer Theater - 1946-06-21 - The 60 Greatest Old-Time Radio Shows of the 20th Century - CD version - Disc 16 Track 1 This story appeared later on television (as "The Hitch-Hiker") as episode 16 from season one of The Twilight Zone (1960-01-22), and later still (again using "The Hitch-Hiker" title) as episode six in volume six of The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas (early 2000's).
  9. "The War of the Worlds" - The Mercury Theater on the Air - 1938-10-30 - The 60 Greatest Old-Time Radio Shows of the 20th Century - CD version - Disc 1 Track 2
  10. Album "Cat Dancer" - Sandy Stewart - Vinyl LP - Modern Records - 1984
  11. "I Am A Rock" - Simon & Garfunkel - Audio Cassette - Side 2 / Track 02 - Maxell Metal Capsule 100 - Recorded 1990-11-28
  12. "Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin - Audiocassette - Side 1 / Track 01 - Maxell Metal Capsule 100 - Recorded 1990-11-28
  13. And a change of gears: Suspense - "Voyage through Darkness" - 1944-09-07 - Starring Olivia de Havilland and Reginald Gardiner:
  14. "Bad Miss M" - Danielle Dax The broadcast this recording came from got the song's title wrong:
  15. "Edge of a Broken Heart" - Vixen - Custom MiniDisc track 09 (of 69):
  16. Ah, good, I'm glad you got that to work. One major advantage of Web MiniDisc for me (and I have the App version installed on this machine) is editing track names. So few CDs include CD-Text info these days, and editing on the CD/MD deck is done one character at a time. "Flirtin' with Disaster" - Molly Hatchet - track 26 (of 76) 70's-themed MiniDisc And my little battery-time playback rig:
  17. It should work with HiMD devices, though I don't have one here. While those pop up at reasonable prices now & then the 1GB discs seem to be rare & expensive. If you tried it on the same machine that has the Sony software, that might be why, as it doesn't get along with the drivers recommended by Web MiniDisc. From the wiki guide: I didn't hit that problem myself since I use Web MiniDisc on a Win10 machine without SonicStage. (Though I do have SonicStage installed on a WinXP machine.) I was hoping that Web MiniDisc would work for you, as I've found it to be quite useful. And just now as I'm typing: "What's Going On" - Marvin Gaye finished, and "Wild World" - Cat Stevens has started. Custom 70's music minidisc, tracks 07 & 08 (of 76)
  18. I stumbled onto this site which made working with NetMD devices much easier under Win10: Web MiniDisc - Brings NetMD Devices to the Web (brilli.me) I have a MZ-NE410 that I bought as NOS (new old stock) and a MXD-D40 CD/MD deck. I use the deck for pulling tracks from CD and NE410 for pulling files from PC. The only trouble I've had using LP4 is if the source file from PC isn't decent quality to begin with—those often suffer during the conversion to ATRAC. The area I live in does 'peak pricing' for electricity from the beginning of June to the end of September during most of my work-from-home day, and being able to connect the NE410 to a self-powered speaker gives me an efficient way to have background audio playing without using more AC power. (The speaker usually wants charging every other day of heavy use, but I can get at whole work-week out the one rechargeable AA in the NE410.) And since I'm posting here again: "Little Sister" - Concrete Blonde - Custom minidisc track 67 (of 74)
  19. "Ironic" - Alanis Morissette - Custom minidisc track 01 of (74). (Some work is being done at or near this complex, which means I've been hearing the construction vehicle reversing BEEP-BEEP-BEEP all day today. I have a noise-cancelling headset plugged into a minidisc Walkman in self defense.)
  20. Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread A few weeks ago I found a walking stick insect on one of my window screens. First time I've seen one "in the wild." [ATTACH=CONFIG]40145[/ATTACH] The photo is a large one, but should show it in a decent level of detail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasmatodea
  21. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galxay (1979) The version released on LP (and later, cassette). With some differences from the radio broadcasts, they're entertaining on their own. The first story was two LPs (HHGttG), while the second was a single record (RatEotU).
  22. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Die Farbe (2010) A live-action film based on HP Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space http://www.die-farbe.com/
  23. Re: What Non-Fiction Book have you just finished? Discover's 20 Things You Didn't Know About Everything (2008) - This actually did include somethings I didn't know already, which made it worth its brief read time. The Encyclopedia of Demons & Deomonology (2009) by Rosemary Ellen Guiley. The very much misnamed Encyclopedia of the Undead: A Field Guide to the Creatures that Cannot Rest in Peace (2006) by Dr. Bob Curran. The book opens with a chapter on Vampires, which expands into some vampire-like creatures (and ever-present Vlad Tepes and Elizabeth Bathory stories). Chapter two is about werewolves and does not mention (oddly for a book on undead) a bit of folklore that a werewolf was doomed to become a vampire upon their demise. Chapter three is Voodoo and Zombies, and mostly covers famous and infamous past practitioners with a bit tacked on at the end to the effect of "oh yeah, zombies aren't actually dead guys." Chapter four is Ghouls and the Golem, which describes ghouls as more like primeval spirits or demons than undead..., and the golem is a contruct. Chapter five is 'The Terrors of HP Lovecraft', and while he does have some undead-types in various stories (Joseph Curwen and Dr. West's experiments come to mind), that isn't what the fiction was about. Nor is this chapter, really, though it does have some bits of history and folklore about that area of New England that Lovecraft probably knew about. The book essentially ends with Appendix: Miscellaneous Nightmares, briefly covering a few creatures from places other than Europe and the Middle East. (If I hadn't been reading this volume on a tablet computer, I'd've tossed it across the room a couple of times.)
  24. Re: What Fiction Book (other than Science Fiction or Fantasy) have you recently finis Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe detective novels: The Big Sleep (1939), Farewell My Lovely (1940), The High Window (1942), The Lady in the Lake (1943), The Little Sister (1949), The Long Goodbye (1953), and Playback (1958). And, if these actually fit into this topic (the first two Shadow pulp novels): The Living Shadow (1931), and Eyes of the Shadow (1931) - oops, haven't actually finished book 002 yet, though.
