  4. His enthusiasm is infectious, tempered by his partner Nicole's qualifying her praise with the problems she discovered as a new boater.

  8. Its quite interesting to see a foreigner being so enthusiastic about stuff we kinda take for granted - cows, sheep, pigs, greenery, canals and rain! But he is right, we are lucky. Even finding all the food outlets closed and surviving on a ham sandwich didn't seem to dampen his mood.

  12. Having just watched the video, got to say, it was one of the most enjoyable I've seen for a very long time. For those who don't like youtube, their enthusiasm may get to you, but it is worth watching.

  13. A program this evening on radio 3 at 23:30. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001fdw8 From the description: Someone living on a canal boat on temporary moorings must move their boat every two weeks. This feature captures the journey of Gus who is moving his boat on a Sunday afternoon in Autumn from the Camden Eco moorings to bustling Hoxton. During this recording, you can hear binaurally captured sound of towpath life, moorhens nesting on the banks and the movement through the 800-metre-long Islington Tunnel. You also hear Gus manoeuvring through the city road lock. The piece ends with Gus’ new neighbour reading a traditional canal song called ‘The First Cargo,’ compiled in Folk Tales from the Canal Side by Ian Douglas.

  30. Now I know where it is it's not hard to find - I think you may find that a large number on the forum just use the "Activity" "New Posts" so that whenever they log on it automatically lists all new posts. I don't think I have used the home page for 'years'.

  31. Sorry, didn't realize the home button was hard to find, and I went off to view the video. Thanks to others. Enjoyed the video, but my mistake, “anywhere on the towpath,” not, “wherever you like.” It might be anywhere on the towpath on the Monty, though.

  38. Its on a massive new ongoing housing development. Very pristine, which is what got my interest. I suppose as ornaments/sculptures go its probably not that expensive in the scheme of things but it cant be that surely. I wondered if it was maybe something like a community classroom or something like. I did think the Paddington Arm was up a bit at the mo with all the rain..😀

  40. And range finding as well. In the original demonstration of binaural sound there was a guy talking whilst walking around you. Then he came up behind and very close. I swear I could actually feel his hot breath on my neck, so powerful was the illusion. Made me flinch!

  41. The way just two fixed ears, one each side, can tell if a noise is in front of you, or behind amazes me. Obviously a strong evolutionary pressure to have this (where is the sabre toothed tiger?!).

  42. No, stereo is just 2 channels picked up by 2 microphones slightly apart. Binaural mimics the head and ears giving a much more 3 dimensional sound experience. It’s been around for decades but it is pretty impressive. All to do with the way the sound wave propagation is modified by the presence of the head and the complex shape of the ears. And of course the way the brain interprets those slight phase shifts etc. Your brain is cleverer than you think!

  50. My boat has a hinged section above the weed hatch, it's basically the width of the back doors and the cill the doors close against are part of the hinged section, it has never leaked and gives full access to the weed hatch, no acrobatics for me, tbh I've never understood why builders make access so difficult.
