Eric has been working on implementing RSS feeds into the Cow.
He has been working to deploy a feed that would stream the news and articles for our members who wish to use RSS feeds.
Would you be interested in testing it and giving your feedback before we take it live?
Best regards,

Hi Simon,
I am sorry to have taken so long to get back to you but I’ve been very busy. My apologies.
I have explored the MATLAB program and found a mathematics computation program. If this is the one you are referring to, I doubt that we would have any interest as it is out the scope of the Cow’s focus. If I found the wrong program, please include a link and I will check out the one you are referring to.
As to XCode, Apple already has a thriving developers community and very few of our members are actually developers and so I tend to think you may find yourself talking in a vacant room were we to add a forum for XCode.
Best regards,

Yes, but for all that goes right — which is a lot — you also to get to take all the bows, Michael.

[Kathlyn Lindeboom] “[Peter Hitchcock] “…you and Linda have done a wonderful job on bringing info/education to the video community worldwide. Bravo!!!” err… ah… my name is Kathlyn not Linda.”
Yes, Peter, it’s Kathlyn not Linda.
I already had a Linda once; trust me, Kathlyns are much better. ;o)

Hi Peter,
I hope all is well with you and yours there in Toronto.
The article you refer to is in Creative Cow Magazine which is being printed as we speak. It will be mailing out late next week and will start hitting the streets then.
We have said on numerous occasions that the magazine was designed to roll out leading into NAB and that is it’s schedule. Late next week, we will also upload the PDFs of the magazine to coincide with the mailing and that way, our international readers can download their copies.
I apologise for the confusion.
Best,
Ron Lindeboom

It’s some wonderful work. I really liked most all of them and even the one that I wasn’t fond of was more due to taste than technique, which was very good even on that one.
The first issue of Creative Cow Magazine is already filled and is going to the printer in a day or two but if you are interested, I would love to do a feature on you and one of the techniques you created. The one for Park Live is a great piece of work and I think it would make a great feature in the second issue.
Interested?
Best regards,

Anyone who knows me in the least, knows that I am a sound freak. Most of what I work on in some way relates to audio. Last year I produced two major CDs that are available worldwide. I say that only because, as a sound freak, I love After Effects and can’t recall the last time I had an issue with sound while in it.
But I don’t try to mix down records in it and I don’t try to do multi-layered sound effects mastering projects either.
With people like Andrew Kramer, Mylenium, Dave LaRonde and others expressing opposing opinions to your own, it would seem that we’ve isolated where the problem lies, dooood.

[Joseph W. Bourke] “…thanks for the honor of databasing my “drawing with a potato” line. It’s actually my own, but I’ve stolen enough good lines from other people that I’m glad to see it have new owners.”
Yes, but as the guy who single-handedly invented the Chez Bovine -
The Cow fighting to remain relevant? The very root of the word implies “relative” and in relativism there are no absolutes, no one-size-fits-all. The very “fight” you refer to was little more than a public flogging of someone who offered a job that was beneath many here but would have been worth someone starting out who wanted to hone some chops while picking up a few bucks along the way.
Mentoring programs have been a long and respected part of crafts and people would get in line to learn the trade and would often pay for the privilege and work long hours for nothing. In this industry, interns have been a part of the landscape for a long time, as well. There have been more than a few times in my own career where I worked free just to learn a craft or process.
The very point of the article “Clients or Grinders” is that it is stupid to trade something of value for nothing. But I, as the guy who wrote Clients or Grinders, do not feel for a moment that every “deal” has to be a cash one. I wouldn’t be in the position I am in today if years ago I had not traded out some of my time as a business consultant and planner to a company that needed my help. They were magazine publishers and I made the deal commensurate on me having as much access to their tools and processes as they had to mine. While I understood business, they understood the print process, light tables, shooting color, halftone and stat films, cutting amberlith and rubylith and stripping out color-seps to set register for the press so the screens didn’t moire pattern when printed — I learned it all. Even helped the pressman at night with his set-up and afterwards helped him wash the presses. I wasn’t a kid and was in my early 30s. But I ended up getting way more from them than they did from me, even though they were the ones in trouble and I had to work very hard to help them straighten out their problems with the bank. Some of my friends back then argued that I was an idiot and that I could have gotten a large chunk of the business signed over to me — and probably could have. But I had just bought PageMaker 1.0 and an Apple Laserwriter 1.0, along with one of the first Mac Pluses. I had a goal…
…that goal has paid off many, many times since then based on the experience I gained at what my friends used to jokingly call “Ron’s ten cents an hour.” But we just got the Sony two-page ad FedEX’d to us yesterday and when it came and I placed it in the magazine, I looked at Kathlyn and Eric and said: “Sony. Damn, do you believe it? Sony. The hard work is falling into place.”
To the kid who was willing to sleep on floors, travel, shoot and cut a five-minute-a-day project, I have little doubt that they would have gotten a lot out of the job that was offered. Was it for you or me, Michael? No, not at all.
But hey, there’s a story in here somewhere… ;o)
