But if they know what you're doing, then that means they're geeks too, right?

Other peoples' alpha-builds aren't my user's responsibility. If they're unable to compile on their own, they shouldn't be in the Grid unsupervised by their user...

And if they're old enough to understand the innuendo, then they're old enough to see it.

ShadowSpark Wrote: You write your own? As in new harmonics and such?

Yeah, you knew that already. It's just very slow-going, in part because I have way too much on my musical plate, and in part because I have pretty much no patience for messing around with orchestration (It's probably why I write largely for choir or, at most, string orchestra).

Mostly I've just got bits and pieces. I have parts of a "Rinzler" theme (all original except a short sample of the melody of the T:L theme at the end for a tie-in, with original accompanying harmonies), an idea for a re-work of the Son of Flynn theme (as a sort of elegy; based on my Elise story & you know what happens to Sam at the end of that) though I haven't really started it, did some messing around with a vocal version of Solar Sailor.

Also based on my Elise story I started work on an "Elise Theme" incorporating the T:L theme (working in vocals and bagpipes) but that hasn't gotten very far either, in part because of the pipes-- the playback bagpipes on my MuseScore suck royally; and pipes are very difficult to write for because of pitch issues (they don't generally play at A-440 except with special "concert pitch" chanters) and a relatively small range, and quite frankly I haven't decided if I should write it orchestrally or actually authentic to music I would write that pipes could play.


(Actually, having just gone and messed around with it... silly of me never to have tried the theme on whistle before. Not for Elise's sake, but the Flynns must be Irish, after all... and it's lovely, esp. with some ornamentation added to give it that Celtic feel.)

You still wear a Tron T-Shirt!!

I've got a Tron T-shirt on right now! (the one I've got off Amazon).

Does anyone else feel like this whole franchise is actually turning into some kind of secret cult?

The Sacred Brotherhood of TRONOLOGY.

Would'nt it be great if somebody invents an App that you can download to your Iphone that turns your Iphone into a Lightcycle?

Now THAT I'd like to see!

You Know you've watched too much TRON when you loan your TRON and TRON: Legacy DVD/Blu-rays to a friend, and you say "You will receive a film disk. Everything that makes up the film has been imprinted on this disk. Should you lose this disk, or fail to return it in good condition, you will be subject to immediate deresoultion!"

Oh, damn. Next time I'm out with my coworkers I should buy a round and yell this when the drinks come. Anybody who laughs because they get it gets an extra drink.

You gotta wonder what would happen if you said that and in sitting in the back corner of the place is one of the actors and he/she notices and says something. I'm not sure whether I'd be embarrassed or not.

Probably. Of course, I will never stop squeeing out over the fact that when I saw Bruce Boxleitner at the D23 Expo2011, not only did remember me from PHXCC2011, but he also remembered my name!!! *explodes with joy, leaving pile of pixels and a sign: 'Please scoop pixels into bowl for re-compilement.
