If you think about it, a wormhole could have a very obvious sexual use for repressed male geekery, without the harmful side effects of a black hole.

Guitarix release 0.35.3
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of plugins[*] and support LADSPA / LV2
plugs as well.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and/or remote
controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball).
This release comes with a couple of Bugfixes, some new LV2 plugs (by
Steve Poskitt) and some maintenance changes in the source.
Thanks goes to Valentin Vidic, Jonathan Wakely and Pete Beardmore for
there contributions.

There has been much argument as to whether a graphical interface is best with
independent windows, or with a single window (with or without tabs). Here in
the Yoshimi workshop, the only type of arguments we like are the startup CLI
ones! Therefore we've been working on a quite novel idea.
This came about when one of our team (who still uses a CRT monitor) found that
a cheap ionizer dramatically reduced the static discharges he kept getting. He
quickly realised that ionization could be used to control both static
attraction and repulsion. Thinking there must be an enhanced IT equivalent he
hacked up some software ionization code.
The idea actually worked. Damp down one window's positive charges and the
other's negative component and they'd immediately stick together - overlapping
(trying to balance their fields). He called this a 'Polarising Object
Stratifier'. Making the windows repel was a bit of a problem as they tended to
get a bit agressive and would fly right off the edges of the screen.
We were a bit surprised when Mary spoke up.
"It's on a CRT right? So why not use an ion trap magnet?"
We didn't know she was old enough to remember them (nobody was brave enough to
ask her age). Then after a pause. "Everything else is software these days, so
why not a software IoT magnet?" She was on a roll now, and seeing the disbelief
on our faces, said, "Oh you wimps! Can't even sort out this P.O.S. I'll code it
myself with Ada."
What can I say? She built it, and it worked. However, the IoT magnet had to be
treated with care - it wouldn't do for it to interfere with other unrelated
systems. As the associated hardware was designed and built by most of the team
we decided to call it the Joint Unified Node Controller.
Things were going really well. Everyone thought putting P.O.S. code into IoT
J.U.N.C. was a great idea. With some fine tuning of both electrostatic and
magnetic fields in windows, Bonded Ordinate Tracking 'nets' could be made to
attach to each other as a single blob, discretely slip under to work unseen, or
tuck themselves almost out of sight into the corners. They jiggled a bit -
rather adding to the charm. The PR and marketing departments were ecstatic.
That was yesterday.
Anyone remember the thunderstorm? We'll never forget it! There was a lightning
strike almost directly overhead.
We'd left the unit on test overnight and think all those finely balanced forces
were suddenly released, and at the same time the strength of the IoT magnet
must have increased by many orders of magnitude. Fortunately there was nobody
in the building. However, when we went in this morning, we were sorry to see
the kit had sort-of imploded.
That thunderstorm must have really been something. It seems to have taken out
our ISP for several hours, though he rang me around 2am ranting about something
called a zero day, and service denial. I told him I hadn't a clue what he was
talking about and that I was sure he'd sort out whatever his problem was during
the morning.

I think I'd recommend moving them to /dev/blackhole instead. :)

It's working! I went back and removed the logging from the crossover_3chan
command (since it served its purpose), moved the order of the commands a
little, and now it works. Thanks for the help!!

Hi,
I'm getting my Pianoteq app to run automatically when I start my computer.
So far, I'm using the startup script in QjackCtl to run the commands I
need. I have QjackCtl configured to startup automatically. It's starting
up and running the commands OK; I see the programs come up when I boot the
computer. But one thing is not working: a shell script named
crossover_3chan, that invokes the ecasound application, which I'm using for
a 3 channel speaker crossover network. This crossover_3chan script works
fine when I run it manually, but for some reason, running it within the
QjactCtl startup script is not working. When I execute ps -aux and look at
the processes, it's not there, until I run it manually. Here is the
QjactCtl startup script I'm using:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
/usr/bin/a2jmidid -e &
sleep 2
/usr/bin/aloop-daemon &
sleep 2
export LADSPA_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ladspa:/usr/lib/ladspa
sleep 2
hdspmixer &
sleep 2
"/home/gibbyj/Pianoteq/Pianoteq 5/i386/Pianoteq 5" &
sleep 4
crossover_3chan &
I've tried various ways of invoking the crossover_3chan shell script.
Currently, I have put the script into /usr/local/bin, which is why there's
no path in front of the name, above. But I also tried something like
"/home/gibbyj/Downloads/crossover_3chan" & in the startup script, which
didn't work either.
Would it help if I make this shell script an "application", giving it a
name, like Pianoteq and the other applications? I've tried to figure out
how to do that, in AVL/Debian, but am still not sure how.
Thanks very much for someone's help!
John
