(whining about) technology fail
At work I used to use Windows Media Player for audio clips, mostly because 1) the program was there and 2) on occasion I would use the variable speed slider bar to slow the audio just a bit.
Unfortunately this summer's round of computer updates seems to have eliminated that option with WMP. I can play clips at normal speed or (too) fast or (too) slow--just three pre-set speeds, no slider bar any more. Aaaaaand the campus tech "expert" doesn't know anything about why it doesn't have that option anymore, and the district "expert" said "Ask your campus tech."
EVER SO HELPFUL, Y'ALL. THANKS SO MUCH. *grumpyface*
So now I need to find a program that I can download to let me choose variable speed settings. And it needs to be free, easy to download, and not mess up the other stuff on the computer that doesn't actually belong to me, yeah. Feel free to throw any suggestions, if this happens to be something you have experience with.
Moving on to Battlestar Galactica stuff: THERE ARE STILL KARA/SAM FICS BEING POSTED AT pyramidofdreams! Eeee!
Yesterday I posted two ficlets (anonymously) at bsg_epics: Jean, Caprica resistance, doing recon, and Laura Roslin interviewing a Two (late season three-ish).
(I mostly failed at guessing who had posted other ficlets there. Hmph.)
