    And now we have Amazon Drones. Gonna get awfully crowdwd up there, and ugly. When you can't take a photo of the scenery without drones in the sky, it will be time to leave. Somehow. To somewhere.

    ...you could always get one of these:

    what is the sound of attenuation?

    a sudden scream in the night, trailing to a whimper and then quiet, as if it was never there ;)

    ...going on 00:00 and still humid.  Up to 88° tomorrow before we get put in the easy bake oven for the weekend. This will be the earliest Portland ever hit or exceed 100°.  Usually this kind of weather doesn't occur until late July to mid August. Makes me wonder if we will break our all time high temeperature record (107°) this summer. Back in 2009 we had several days of 100°+ temps with two consecutive days where it hit 106°.

    City's annual Rose Festival celebration begins tomorrow, Fireworks after sunset. Usually the festival is a magnet for a week or two of rain and chilly weather, doesn't look like it this year.

    I am watching Warm Bodies while installing content to my new hdd.

    The book was good. Romeo & Juliet with zombies. The movie somewhat pulled its punches, which was a shame.

    The book is on my reading list.  I just need to decide which book to read first.

    sound of attenuation not louder than the sound of a generator test run?

    I don't know...being pierced with a sharp sword would hurt no matter what it's made of.  You mean if a silver sword pierced your heart or lung, it wouldn't kill you because it's silver?

    Attenuation is the act of reducing sound.  In other words, turning down the volume!!!  Attenuation in itself makes no sound at all, it has an effect on the sound coming from something.  The term is usually used in electronics, namely amplifiers and mixers.  Sound technicians use the word attenuator where everyday people would say volume control.

    Yeah. but bandits would want to steal the silver swords but they wouldn't steal the steel swords.  By the seashore.

    Wouldn't that technically be the inverse of a volume control?

    Depends on where your "normal" is.  If the signal being controlled is normally permitted through at functional levels, then you might design your equipment to "attenuate" the signal to achieve a desired effect or to match the levels of other less powerful inputs.  I've seen "Attenuation" in powers of 10 or in decibels implemented as discrete switches.  However, there's nothing to prevent it being a continuous control instead of discrete.

    One could argue that volume/amplification/attenuation are matters of semantics but I'm sure there are experts out there who know the accepted lingo better than I. 

    However if you look at the basic concept of a signal it has three primary controllable aspects; Amplitude, Frequency, and Phase.  Each aspect can be modified separately.  The terms "Attenuation" and "Amplification" would seem to be applicable to the Amplitude but not the Frequency or Phase.  Whereas the Phase is "shifted" and the Frequency is "Increased/Decreased???"

    got rid of that awful roommate and now I got a new roommate but I do not know her yet.   Hopefully the new one will be better.

     

    Having difficulty signing into Word so I can go back to writing my book.  I am either thinking of calling it "new face" or "Zombie lifes matter"

     

    Edit Guess Zombie lives matter already became a meme.  Oh well.

    Oh guess I rather deal with a zombie apocalypse than that girl.  At least the zombies won't lie that they want to play with your head or eat your brains.

    I am trying to write an urban fantasy novel but it is hard to write it with DS.  I want to play in DS instead of write.

     

    edit: there is a naked girl on my screen as I am having difficulty getting the CMS to work right.
