Re: Death Of A Format

hello ian,

i finally squeeze in to visit your blog. as Kathy said, we have something in common - music and computers.

i'm a nostalgic but i don't want to see the death of the CD format either. you know i just recently got hooked into vinyl LPs. many might disagree but it sounds better. the presence of the performer is there - almost 3D. the LP selections which i enjoyed when i was a kid can't be found in CDs - except for some, too. so it compliments my CD selections.

i want to keep the CD format because it can be tweaked to improve the imaging. the culprit is in the clock jitter. and the other tweak i tried is copying my original CDs to black CDs (which also reduced jitter in the CD media). i'm following the white paper of gary koh, ceo of genesis loudspeakers (http://www.genesisloudspeakers.com at the Download section).

so vinyl, CDs and downloadable music files each has its purpose and they compliment each other. we thought vinyl is dead but it's making a comeback in the US. i think you're aware of it. are we going to repeat history with the CD? so, let's keep it.

best regards and to my classmate Kathy (reconnected after 40 years!!!),

kath,

first of all, please accept my hearfelt condolence for the loss of Nong Pinggoy. we lost a great man. we had a great time discussing camiguin issues after tennis games - of course, over some round of beer. that was in 1992-1998 when i started the camiguin telephone project. i'll be coming home this summer for our family reunion. surely i will miss your dad.

it's nice to see you and dada meet over the web. me, too, have memories with Nang Nenen, at felix huertas st., during my college days. i'm a frequent visitor, not only during September fiesta novenas, but to visit my cousins - jojo & ex bollozos. of course, charito barlaan stayed there, too.

Kath, this might come as a surprise for you. the last time i see you was at the classroom of Mam Titang Mora. if you still have a class picture of Grade 1 or 2, taken at the facade of Fatime College of Camiguin auditorium, i can tell you where i am. yes, we're classmates!

you have a great blog, Kath. keep it up.

best regards,
nandy

kat,

cecil is right. but the event was not Lanzones fest but the Feast of "San Juan" - every 24th of June, the best time to go swimming. remember?

telcos should focus on Internet because their survival depends on it. the SIP will eventually replace local calls. it's easy to setup a stand-alone SIP phone - find the link in this website http://lanvoxph.googlepages.com

sotelco is taking the right direction.
