Comment on EBook Pricing – my yearly brain dump by minifig

Well said. Indeed, I’ve gone through much the same process. I’ll look at an eBook price compared to the hardback, and go ‘that’s terrible – why should I pay that??’ then decide I actually really want it, and really do want it now, and buy it anyway. That’s capitalism in action really isn’t it?

Although I’m sure the publishers are testing the water somewhat, you can’t really blame them for setting the prices at the high end to start with, with the prospect of lowering them if necessary in the future, since if they set them really low, they’d get even more 1* reviews for raising them at a later date. Although I also accept your reasons to suggest that the prices aren’t as high as they seem.

@Ellie With my more recent ‘experiments’ I’ve run the vodka through coffee filters, which has made it a beautiful semi-transparent red colour rather than murky brown as well as cleaning up the flavour a bit. I’ve also used italian hard liquorice candy (you can get tins of them fairly reasonably priced in the Algerian coffee shop on Old Compton Street) which makes a much less sweet drink, but one that can be cut with some sugar to make a more liqueur-y affair.

Anyways, good luck!

Hiya! I’m making the liquorice vodka for a Weird Food party on Saturday – got high hopes! Thanks for the recipe. x

Comment on Recording Skype calls as two channels in Garageband by billy

@Patrick – you’ll need to restart Garageband after setting up Soundflower and then choose the Aggregate device as the input device in the Preferences. Garageband only scans for input devices on startup and the channel drop down only applies to the currently selected device, as chosen in preferences.

Hi – this looks helpful but I’m not getting it to work. I’ve created the Aggregate Device and it appears in the Soundflower drop down menu. However, in GarageBand (version 6), in the input drop down, I only see Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone), Mono 2 (Built-in Microphone) and Stereo 1/2 (Built-in Microphone) – the other stereo channel or for the aggregate device. Tips?

Thanks!
Patrick
