When learning that the gear was capable of playing MP4 files, I launched this site for my fellow film makers.
A few videos on this site have music composed by me.
Something I put together with my spare time in college.
Incomplete. A lot of the material is written from observation of NES emulators and perhaps lacks accuracy.
I once runned an Asterisk based system on a home server.
The service allowed you to dial in, login using the dial pad, and make a voice recording which was automatically
uploaded to your blog. By choosing number options, you could also select back ground music (or ambient noise for alibi)
and add voice effects.
