  • Every batch audio transcoder I’ve tried didn’t keep my meticulously curated directory structure. Just threw things around willy nilly often creating directories for artests the files didnt belong to. So I thought I’d build what I wanted.

    So I have a new coding project that is forcing me to think differently. Never done any asynchronous python before. Never really needed to, still don’t if I didn’t want to transcode using ffmpeg as fast as possible. In the past I’ve used subprocess to roll my own ffmpeg wrapper. It was only a few videos at a time and not hundreds of audio files.

    Only about 8 hours in, two classes 128 lines of code and most of that time was research. Think I’m nearly done. Done with the easy stuff any way. Have the que all set up but nothing’s actually transcoding yet.

    By the nine, i love learning, even when I’m stuck.


  • Lots of good advice, I’d add.

    Know your fish, their habitat and feeding habits. Some fish live deeper than others thus a fly wont work and a lure or bait and sinker would.

    If they eat flies, time of day is pretty important. If you spend enough time on lakes you’ll notice they are pretty active at dusk and dawn. You’ll see them jumping. That means they are hungry and can see well enough to get their prey. Cloudy days are good because they can see out the water all day long or at least when the sun isn’t shining.

    In rivers I look for eddies. Places that a fish wouldn’t have to work so hard to stay in one spot. Their there to rest, but if a nibble comes along they’ll bite.

    With flies and lures try to mimic an injured animal. If using worms or bait, patience.

    This one thinks there were three cycles of moon giving from our mother Fadomai. Ahnurr gave Fadomai her cubs. First was Alkosh, followed by Khenarthi, Magrus, Mara lastly there was S’rendarr.

    During the second moon gift there was now Merrunz, Mafala, followed by Sangiin.

    Although Ahnurr’s house was full, Alkosh and others wanted more cubs to bask in lights warmth.

    So Fadomai gave her first cubs their wishes. Azurah, Nirni, Y’ffer, Masser, Secunda all joined with the light children.

    Fadomai still had longing for small cubs so she fled to the void and one cub, Lorkhaj was given.

    Exhausted, Fadomai knew her time of ending was near. So a gift was given to Nirni, for she desired to give cubs the light.

    So it was that Nirni came to her brother Lorkhaj for she needed a new dwelling for her cubs. Lorkhaj did just so, forming the mortal realm. Some of Fadomai’s first cubs were imprisoned in the new realm. The second set of Fadomai’s cubs saw what had happened and did not follow.

    Mayhaps was not just Nirni who was given the gift of cubs. So is said Azurah came down to one of Nirni’s cubs and shape his form most desirably, so log as they would be given their mother Fadomai’s Beauty, Ahnurr intelligence and Alkosh’s streingth.

    Azurah found some of Nirni’s cubs in the forest and from them Khajiit were born under Masser and Secunda’s light.

    Angered by Azurah’s decision to take so many cubs Nirni came to Y’ffer and ask for punishment. He did so turning the grasses to warm sands and forest to marsh.

    Azurah loved her cubs and taught them the ways of the moons and the gift of shapes.

    However not all her children were given the gifts of Azurah and favored Nirni. By her hand the fur was taken and the forest given. For Nirni also loved here cubs and their grandcubs.

    Although maybe not M’aiq is very practical. He has no need for mysticism.
