I recorded the bird songs (posted in the Docs section) in my backyard using a small Olympus digital recorder. I converted the .WMA files into .mp3 files using software ( Jodix Free WMA to MP3 Converter ). I then filtered the background noise and applied a high pass filter also using software ( Audacity ) and exported the file in .mp3 format.

I have trying to get around to writing this for over a month ! The puppies grow in size and hyper energy ! They had their last set of injections on the 23rd March and then weighed at 16 weeks Celt ... 24.1lbs and Saxon ... 32.6 lbs Now ... I would guess they are ... Celt 36-38 lbs and Saxon 46-48 lbs !! I will know accurately on the 5th June when they next go to the Vet for neutering and they can be weighed. They are little devils ! They never stop . The…

Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drive…

Inspired by discussions around ipernity, I started to think new ways to use PicMonkey frames. For example one can use the tool 'Overlays > Add your own'. With that you can import your own textures and even frames. Or you can actually first create and edit frames on PicMonkey by using an empty canvas, then save them and use again as your own "overlays". What has annoyed me is that some cool PicMonkey frames only gives either a square or 3:4 image frame. But one can always play with imag…

Well here we are at the end of February and all hopes of me being able to hang on to any vestage of sanity are lost in a haze of paws ! Celt and Saxon are on the go all day but ohhhh soooo Thankful am I that they sleep at night . Life has become one long walk and play session ! I have , for over 12 years ,belonged to a dog/cat internet site . We always cautioned people NEVER to get TWO puppies at the same time . The exhaustion level a mere human such as myself goes through is why we sa…

Well .... yesterday was a Vet visit for Nerys . Just meant to be a quick check over and hello. It was not quite that easy ! I managed to get Nerys in the car(she is afraid of the car as she thinks it will take her away again. But we have been practicing.) Got to the Vets.. she got out the car and I always take the doggy over the road for a wee. She crossed the road and refused to come back. You cannot tempt her.. or move her. Had to get Jay to drive the car over the road and t…

Announcement regarding payments ... [EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! Some of you may have noticed that membership renewals via Skrill are not possible any more. We tried everything to keep this payment option. However on 3 January 2018 Skrill made the decision to terminate services with IMA without notice or reason. We believe the decision was made because of volume requirements. It is common that other customers of Skrill suffered the same inconveniences. We are now explor…

He came as had his father before him ....as the Guardian of the Fire. When the Earth had cooled and the Great Spirit had formed the heavens and the earth , He had given the coyotes ancestors the promise of great honour.As time passed and Man encroached upon the Wilderness, so the coyote had grown impatient and had asked of the Great Spirit when he would be given his power. The Great Spirit said "I have given you stealth and cunning and with these gifts you must take what you desire,but you m…

[EN] Dear Members and friends of ipernity! On 8th of September - one week after the transfer of this website from ipernity S.A to ima - we've informed you that we would recheck the deadline for the acceptance of subscriptions, which have been made before Dec. 31st, 2016, if the site’s financial condition would allow it. Meanwhile we've evaluated the whole database of ipernity (with more than 210,000 accounts) completely. The result is pleasing: The number of club-members is sufficient (…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Based on a member initiative the articles in the English and German Wikipedia have been updated to reflect the new status of ipernity. A Dutch version is currently being prepared. In order to update the articles in other languages such as French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish but also Esperanto and others we kindly ask for your help and to raise your hand. We would also be grateful, if we could find a volunteer, who will coordinate all Wiki…

Several times I have mentioned a trick to view two dimensional images with one eye only. This trick may then help to experience the depth on a picture. But the trick does not work for everyone. I recently discovered an interesting study on the subject, and there it was found the ability to see depth in the two dimensional image increases when the image is viewed through a small hole. And yes, it worked for me. So, cut a small (approximately 1 cm) hole in the cardboard, and peek through it…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Last week we encountered irregularities related to gift subscriptions and upgrades of ipernity users who never had been club members before. Both problems were resolved quickly. We are grateful for the help received from members and for the cooperation of Christophe Ruelle. 2) Our call for assistance yielded a pleasing resonance outcome, thanks for that as well. Depending on the urgency of the matter we will contact you individually. 3…
