AND AS LONG AS I CAN TEST THE SCRIPT LIKE ONCE AND IT'S WORKING FINE I CAN JUST MAKE IT RETURN DUMMY STUFF SO IT WORKS ON OTHER MACHINES Y ARE YOU NOT CREATING FILES ANYWHERE LIKE SORT OF REAL FILES SO THAT YOU CAN DO ON A DICE MACHINE INDEPENDENT OF W I CAN THEN I CAN CHANGE THE SCRIPT SO IF I'M USING MY ONE AT HOME I CAN JUST ADD S. S. H. STUFF IN TO EV EVOKE THE SOUND TOOLS ON THE UH ON DICE AND THEN COPY 'EM BACK ONE PROBLEM WITH S. S. H. ING IN GENERAL IS THAT THE MACHINE THAT LIKE ON THE ONLY GATEWAY MACHINES THEY HATE YOU FOR DOING ANYTHING ON THEM AND THERE'S NO SIMPLE WAY AT LEAST I HAVEN'T FOUND ONE TO DIRECTLY IN IN A SINGLE STEP SORT OF S. S. H. AND THEN S. S. H. AGAIN HMM WELL ACTUALLY I GUESS IF YOU PUT S. S. H. AND YOU KNOW C YOU CAN GIVE A COMMAND OUTRIGHT AFTER WITH S. S. H. SO IF THAT C COMMAND IS S. S. H. AGAIN AND IF YOU THAT WOULD REQUIRE THAT YOU HAVE ALL YOUR KEY FILES SET CORRECTLY WHICH I HAVEN'T BECAUSE IT ALWAYS FUCKS UP ON MY SYSTEM MAYBE IF YOU GET THAT WORKING THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIRECTLY GO INTO ANOTHER MACHINE UH YEAH IF IT COMES TO IT I'LL JUST UM INSTALL NETBEANS AND STUFF ON MY LINUX MACHINE AND WORK ON THAT YEAH 'CAUSE A P A PRIMITIVE VERSION OF THE SOUND TO HAVE RELATIVELY SOON WOULD BE GOOD I THINK OK OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY GOOD SO TO COME BACK TO THE PROBLEM WE HAD BEFORE SO THE REASON WHY THE SUMMARY DIDN'T WORK WELL IN THE LAST ONE AND WORKS WELL NOW IS BECAUSE BASED ON THE BOTTOM DATA THE DATA IS SO HOMOGENEOUSLY HIGH IN ITS IMP IMPORTANCE RATING THAT IT JUST SORT OF THEN EVERYTHING ELSE BEING EQUAL IT TOOK THE FIRST ONES MORE OR LESS BUT NOW IT'S WORKING BETTER BECAUSE NOW IT'S ON A MUCH MORE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED I WONDER IF WE SHOULD UM DO SOMETHING LIKE DROPPING THE BOTTOM THIRD THEN RE MAPPING THE LOWEST REMAINING ONE TO ZERO AND SCALING IT LIKE THAT 'CAUSE YOU GET A MUCH NICER DISTRIBUTION LIKE THAT THE MOST PROFESSIONAL WAY OF DOING IT WOULD BE TO MAP THEM ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD DEVIATION 'CAUSE THAT WAY IT AU WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ALWAYS THAT'S SORT OF LIKE IT IT'S THE PROBLEM IS IT'S MORE CALCULATION EXPENSIVE AND SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICATED EVEN THOUGH IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE IN TERMS OF CALCULATION IT'S NOT MUCH HEAVIER BUT LIKE YOU KNOW GENERALLY ABOUT STANDARD DEVIATION UM I'VE NOT USED IT TO DO THAT BEFORE BUT YEAH WHICH THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT GENERALLY YOU FIRST HAVE TO GET THE MEAN AND ONLY T ONLY ONCE YOU HAVE THE MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT IN ONE GO YEAH I'VE DERIVED THAT I'VE DERIVED THAT MYSELF LIKE I DIDN'T FIND IT SO I DID IT MYSELF AND IT TOOK ME A DAY WITH THE FORMULA BUT THEN I'M SLOW AT MATHS SO THE THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT WOULD BE THAT IF YOU SIMPLY SAY THAT WHATEVER ONE STANDARD DEVIATION BELOW THE MEAN IS ZERO AND ONE STANDARD DEVIATION ABOVE THE MEAN IS ONE OR TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS OR SOMETHING THEN WHATEVER THE DATA IS LIKE IT WOULD ALWAYS NORMALISE YEAH IT'S IT'S NOT THE SIMPLEST BUT THAT LIKE THAT'S THE MOST PROFESSIONAL WAY I CAN THINK ABOUT IT Y THAT WOULD INDIRECTLY ALSO DROP STUFF I MEAN THAT WOULD DROP WHATEVER IS BELOW OR ABOVE SO IF YOU FIND THAT FORMULA THAT WOULD BE GOOD OTHERWISE I CAN SEE IF I CAN STILL UNDERSTAND LIKE I DID IT IN MY PROGRAMME IT'S UH IT'S REALLY STUPID LIKE THE STANDARD STANDARD DEVIATION FORMULA JUST REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE THE MEAN INITIALLY AND THAT MAKES SOME THINGS EXACTLY TWICE AS COMPUTATIONALLY EXPENSIVE AND THERE IS A WAY OF DOING IT CUMULA CUMULATIVELY HMM SO YEAH SO THAT'S ONE POSSIBLE WAY OF DOING THAT SO THE AND THAT'S JUST IN THE LOADING STAGE RIGHT YEAH THAT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE FINE ESPECIALLY IN THE WORST CASE WE JUST INTRODUCE A SMALL HOUR GLASS BUT ANYWAY WE ONLY WE ONLY GONNA PRESENT THIS ONCE AND WE CAN PROBABLY JUST LIKE SORT OF START IT UP BEFORE THE PRESENTATION STARTS SO IF WE SHOULDN'T AT ALL BE WORRIED ABOUT IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE BEAUTIFUL IT'S LIKE IF YOU B WANT A PROGRAMME ONLY TO RUN ONCE AND ONLY A PART OF IT YOU DON'T WORRY IF IT CRASHES AFTERWARDS IF IT WASTES ALL THE RESOURCES IF IT FORMATS THE HARD DISK IN THE END ANYWAY I'M RAMBLING ON UM YEAH NEVER CLOSES THE PROCESS WHEN HE DOES IT NOW THEY USED TO NOT UM CLOSE THE PROCESS WHEN YOU CLICK THE CROSS UM DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHICH DICE MACHINES HAVE SOUND CARDS AND HOW TO FIND THEM 'CAUSE THE THING IS WE CAN LIKE THIS AT THE MOMENT WOR IS WORKING BECAUSE IT HAS A SOUND CARD THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S STRUCTURE OF THIS IT ISN'T ENOUGH TO JUST SAY WELL IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SOUND CARD YOU DON'T HAVE SOUND AT LEAST I THINK THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER OUR PROBLEM WAS THAT YEAH MM-HMM SO I'VE WORKED AROUND THAT THERE IS WAYS I THINK TO GET AROUND IT BUT THE PROBLEM IS SO YOU B YOU BASICALLY WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO CODE VERSIONS THEN ONE FOR SOUND CARD AND ONE FOR NON SOUND CARD MACHINES TO TEST IT ON UM BECAUSE IT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE ALL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SOUND CARD SO THERE ISN'T A SIMPLE WAY TO JUST TELL WHICH ONES THE SOUND CARD MACHINES ARE AND JUST TO USE SOUND CARD MACHINES IS THERE WE NO BUT I GUESS I MEAN IF YOU JUST IF YOU TRUST IN DAVE'S SUMMARY FOR THE AUDIO JUST PUTTING ALL THESE THINGS INTO SOUND THEN THEN HAVING A WRITTEN SUMMARY DOES THAT WORK WITHOUT THE SOUND CARDS OKAY YEAH OKAY YEAH BECAUSE YEAH BUT THEN THAT MEANS THAT THE GIRLS CAN'T TEST IT THAT'S THE PROBLEM LIKE WE CAN YOU STILL GET THE DISPLAY IN THE SUMMARY SO THE YEAH THE MOVE UH BUT YOU CAN STILL CLICK ON THE SEGMENTS AND THAT'LL STILL WORK WON'T IT YEAH BUT WE HAVE TO COMMENT STUFF OUT FOR THAT I THINK LIKE AT THE MOMENT IF YOU CLICK ON A SEGMENT IT AUTOMATICALLY SETS THE WHOLE CLOCK THING GOING AND STUFF SO WE HAVE TO COMMENT OUT STUFF SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING THAT THERE IS WE COULD MAKE IT THAT A FLAG COULDN'T WE WE COULD JUST MAKE THAT UH LIKE A RUN TIME FLAG AND THEN MAKE A FEW IFS AND SAY IF UM OH THERE MUST BE A WAY OF DETECTING WHETHER THE CLOCK'S LOADED LIKE IN FACT THERE THERE IS
