There's a few things going on behind the scenes that I either A) Promised people I'd post later or B) Are noticeable if you perk your ears high enough.
Amongst them:
Towards the end, Nox forgot a quote that I made to him, I believe in Skype the night before this. It was moreso like: It was an act of good intention that an Act of God prohibited.
I've not got the time it takes to snapshot my mic rig, but I'll post it with instructions later. Sufice to say that you can tell I am/used to be an engineering student.
@Natasha: You did an excellent job untangling the two of us, at least in the parts that needed kept.
@Natasha: And there's this old phrase, "Better Late Than Never!"... But I think you just barely cut off yourself at the end. Check your original; it may just be my player/codec setup, considering that I'm running kLite and VLC for all of these.
@Natasha: I've gotten to correctly counting and returning states of streams. Pushing a system call to some random proggy for recording will be next on my legenda. It will be a while, though - that was just my wake up exercise for the morning. Sadly, this one might turn out easier than the numerous other thins on my docket. Mostly because, it's actually practical in Python because all Python is doing is bridging the gap - it's not really doing that much in terms of processing.
... and I think that's it.
