  1. Ancient Symbols

    If we presume that immortality is a reality, then a 2200 year old being might be more advanced than a 22 year old. The 22 year old would have a naive human nature, whereas a 2200 year old might have experienced more of the dark and light of life. Just because the 22 year old does not see or perceive the world as a 2200 year old might, the few 2200 year old beings might have created symbols, tools and ideas to guide the many 22 year old beings.
  2. Ancient Symbols

    original function is on the right side of the screen:
  3. Ancient Symbols

    Not as beautiful as Grace Slick:
  4. Ancient Symbols

    changing the first function that I modified, and keeping the second:
  5. Ancient Symbols

    adding a function I got this:
  6. Democracy

    I am demo crazy.
  7. The Importance of Devotion

    Where is the line drawn between devotion and obsession?
  8. [DDJ Meaning] Chapter 62

    Hi Flowing Hands! I am ignorant of the Chinese language. As you are an English Chinese translator, I have a question for you. Would it have been possible that certain texts contained an inner message, such as one deciphered by only reading a sequence of the characters, or have I just watched the AMC show 'Turn' one too many times?

    I might have found it; are these correct? recording.pdf recording_1.pdf recording_2.pdf

    Some what of an interface, scrolling notes on bottom, and lightened up notes on top.

    Vertically visual, the tab group contains four auto generated listings of notes to tabs. So one might play an A3 on the 2nd fret of the G string or an A3 on the 7th fret of D String. So, I just kinda listed all the tabs possible in various positions along the neck of the guitar. Thank you Nintendao for posting!
  14. Is Laughter slander?

    He hits every other monk who asks a question. He himself was beaten for asking questions.

    note that the tabs are for a standard tuning

    51 Minutes later! I must have a bug in the binary somewhere that I have to find. I'll have to re write the code. I processed the sample with the same code a few times and the notes were different! I am unsure of what has changed with the code. This happens when the memory boundaries are miscalculated somehow. Anyway, here are three guesses of the notes that you played Nintendao: sample.pdf sample_one.pdf sample_two.pdf
  17. Guess This Song

    I picked rather obscure songs Thanks Nintendao! Here is #1 I was trying to play just the intro, about the first 20 seconds or so. After redoing #2, I think that it sounds more like this, I just played it slow: I'll process that sample now, and have a pdf file up in a bit.

  19. [DDJ Meaning] Chapter 62

    Thomas Cleary 1990 The way is the pivot of all things: the treasure of good people, the safeguard of those who are not good. Fine words can be sold, honored acts can oppress people; why should people who are not good abandon them? Therefore to establish an emperor and set up high officials, one may have a great jewel and drive a team of horses, but that is not as good as advancing calmly on this Way. Why did the ancients value this Way? By it one can attain without long seeking and escape from the faults one has; therefore it is valued by the world. Seems Cleary has a subtle difference in this verse around the middle of it. I've noticed the slight change in his translation: The ones above allude to 'offering' the Way to the king or emperor. Cleary keeps alludes to personal advancement of the Way.

  21. Guess This Song

    I sort of just guessed after a while, there is too much other audio to process, drums, ect. Would any other bums happen to have a guitar? If so, please post an audio clip here of you playing, and I'll post the notes that you have played.

  24. creating karma

    I've been meditating on this 'creating karma' idea. Would anyone agree the conjugate of 'acting with intent' as 'not acting on an idea' that would create karma as well? Say that I am addicted to buying used books. So if I had an idea to learn pinyin to be able to buy an entire new set of used books. Would the karma be created when I want to learn pinyin, yet do not take action to learn pinyin?
