from the trip report of some distrubuted unix conference: > * +1 201-644-2332 or Eedie & Eddie Make Beautiful Music in a Distributed > Computing Environment > - Peter Langston, Bell Communications Research > = As usual, Peter Langston stole the show with his talk. He added a few > words at the end pointing out that it really is a distributed environment > that he is using. If you haven't tried calling the number, you should > (though success rate of everything being up and running and not crashing is > about 56%, so try again if it doesn't work the first time). review: ... stupid jokes ... ... improvised 3 part harmonies... ... improvised baaad scatting.... .... and silly sounding computer synthesed voice.... ... music seems to be based on compositional grammars... err, I mean grammars used to compose music, not the other kind of compositional grammar, at least not on the surface.... ... but then again what do I know.... I'm gonna check out the paper on how all this is done sometime when I have time, when classes or work let up, or hell freezes over. (the latter) Niels. PS: the second time I called, the system crashed, but before it died it said "sorry something's wrong, please try again later." Politenessman would be proud.
