Music: Polka Sonata

time July 29th by Botrax

Polka Sonata
By Botrax (Formerly Dragonite)
MP3 Surround
Made with Impulse Tracker
4 channels
1 sample from Gravis Ultrasound MIDI PATch files

This one is by mistake. I was converting a MIDI file of Moonlight Sonata to create Retaking Moonlight, and created a bad output with some wrong options and it sounded like an accordion piece. Unmodified with all the conversion errors. I just slapped an accordion sample in there and I was done.

More of a joke tune more than anything.

Fire Lady

time March 29th by Botrax

Fire Lady

oh and this fire smokes

red drapes of brilliance

Of fiery enterprise, and fiery mind

uncapturable eyes of flaming ice,  of legend bested only by experience

smiles a joyous elemental firestorm

You are fire,  lady

Comments for Mtl911truth on Eric Hufschmid audio

time February 21st by Botrax

http://www.botcast.net/article83-TiteBot-30-Impromptu-Eric-Hufschmid (external link)

http://www.mtl911truth.org/?p=3042 (external link) (cache)

Maybe it would be interesting for me to come post here if someone told me about this post. I just checked and the contact section of my site works fine. :-) It’s there for a reason.

“Ignore it, because it’s borderline illegal in this country?”

Please explain to me what that means. Last time I checked, Common Law, which regulates human behavior in Canada, nothing can restrict free speech, not even all the laws of the government have passed and could ever pass in all their wildest wet dreams. That’s because government laws don’t apply to humans, only the government ID it has given you, which are two different things which have different sets of applicable laws.

To know more: (you can verify the information on your own, which is awesome because all these beautiful people do that kind of stuff on Mtl911truth.org)

Watch the videos http://www.thinkfree.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=5 (external link)

Intro to your human rights (20 part video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUs2MW6a9aQ (external link)
Compile audio of all 20 parts: http://www.botcast.net/dl26 (external link)

Even if you decided to speak under your government ID name and and not your human name under Common Law, the De Facto government of Canada still allows you to disobey the government according to it’s own laws.

http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/C-46/page-2.html#codese:15 (external link)

“Obedience to de facto law
15. No person shall be convicted of an offence in respect of an act or omission in obedience to the laws for the time being made and enforced by persons in de facto possession of the sovereign power in and over the place where the act or omission occurs.”

R.S., c. C-34, s. 15.

Then, no, it is not borderline illegal in Canada or any other country of the Commonwealth. You should not censor yourself for any reason when you are in the business of exposing the truth.

However, I may be way off. If you have another understanding of the laws how they are now, that effectively allows free speech to be suppressed, please provide this information for my continued education.

Better information is always what we, and Mtl911truth, look for when exposing what the truth. It is the primordial element of our truth movements, to learn new info and change our ideas, understand better as new elements come into view. In our nature of perpetually examining new info, I already pleases me that you will examine the information I have just provided in this comment.

You will find that this new information brings some key aspects as ways out of global control of the elites, an escape out of their controlling laws. People effectively use this information to be left alone by the government.

I feel it is a key element of evolution to the truth movement, the element of exiting the control of these globalist elites.

Don’t encourage political correctness, it is another Zionist mind control method to destroy our society. People need to be offended, to be challenged and changed to evolve. If someone is never corrected on things, never being told because of political correctness, the learning and evolving does not happen. This control method prevents evolution. Do not encourage it. If you are not comfortable with the term “Zionist”, it is most likely because of lack of information on the subject. That’s fine. There is much information available you can look for. The subject needs to be understood. Change “Zionist” to “care bears” if you really have to, as long as you understand that political correctness is there to limit us in our societal evolution by the nature of what is suggests. Do not be politically correct. You can be fair, tactful and effective without it.

Botrax has been examining aspects of truth since 2002, and has been exposing truth since 2006 in his online audio show, Le BotCast with Cheese. http://www.BotCast.net (external link) TestDummy has joined him early in 2007 to improve the show. http://www.mtldummy.blogspot.com/ (external link)

This audio with Eric Hufschmid is meant as an English wedge into my French audience on Le BotCast with Cheese, my show in which I expose truth with my co-host TestDummy. It is meant to expose the French speaking audience to some other aspects of what is going on, to stimulate exploration of these subjects. It also a treat to finally speak to Eric after all these years, myself having offered very minute error correction contributions to his book back in the day.

Our show is “Le BotCast with Cheese” at http://www.BotCast.net (external link) for any interested French people in learning some truth about certain things. Also on http://www.TacticalFM.com (external link) where others also expose different stuff through audio shows.

9/11 is a re-occurring subject that we cover here and there, with some more dedicated work done here as guests on RadioShockLive.com and Kraken’s Paradise Radio:

Ma conférence au PodCamp Montréal 2009 – La loi silence rien

time September 15th by Botrax

Le 19-20 septembre 2009 se tien le PodCamp Montréal 2009. http://www.PodCampMontreal.org (external link) (cache) Je présenterai dimanche le 20 à 11:00, le titre de la conférence est “La loi silence rien” dans la salle DE-2540.

Description : Il n’y a pas de lois applicables pour silencer ton discours. Si tu penses qu’il y a des lois qui t’empêchent de t’exprimer, peu importe le contenu, cette présentation démontre qu’aucune loi s’applique à toi en tant qu’être humain au Canada. En rectifiant la compréhension générale en expliquant qu’il n’y a pas de lois applicables en place pour silencer notre liberté d’expression, on pourra augment les voix nous sortant l’information utile pour la population et dénoncer la désinfo. Pas de pillules bleues dans cette salle, juste des rouges. AVERTISSEMENT : Sensibles au changement de la réalité comme ils la voient, SVP s’abstenir.

Bio : Botrax a commencé le podcast Le BotCast with Cheese (www.BotCast.net) en 2006 pour dénoncer la désinfo qu’il examine depuis 2002. Ce chemin a abouti a la découverte des mots de la loi et les mensonges qui nous gouvernent. En 2007 il est tombé sur du travail fait par d’autres en anglais qui démontre que les lois qu’on pense connaître ne sont pas comme nous le pensons. En examinant les lois on se rend compte que nous sommes totalement libres des lois qu’on pense applicables à nous et notre quotidien. Botrax et son co-animateur TestDummy vulgarisent ces concepts en français dans Le BotCast with Cheese, et dans la présentation au PodCamp Montréal 2009.

Christopher Bollyn asking for money to clear his name?

time August 29th by Botrax

In hopes to clear himself of the idea of him not being totally free and not captive to anyone, Christopher Bollyn finally agreed to do an interview with Eric Hufschmid in exchange for 500$. http://www.erichufschmid.net/Bollyn-wants-money.html (external link) (cache)

If Bollyn needs to clear his name so badly because it is apparently hurting him that people think that he is not free, he should not be asking for money. It should be a given that he give a FREE interview to therefore help his situation. If you want to help your cause, you don’t ask for money, you just go out there and clear your name.

If he is struggling, he CAN go out and perform any crap job, he doesn’t HAVE to be writing to make a living. He can do investigative work in his free time after work, like the rest of us. Well, if he was truly free, that is.

Creative’s terrible Vista drivers

time March 30th by Botrax


I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS that has worked pretty good with Windows XP. Now it seems this sound card is doomed to die with XP.


Creative’s limp into the future
Now I have a 64-bit processor and I am ready to upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit, you know, leaping into the technology of the future and leaving 32-bit to rot in the past.

There is only one problem; my Audigy 2 sound card does not have drivers for Vista that enable the same functionality that I have in XP, namely EAX HD. You know, it would be nice to run my new quad core baby and it’s 8800GT with some hot EAX HD sound. Well, Creative doesn’t think so. Creative does not consider Audigy 2 to be good enough for Vista.

When looking for Vista 64-bit drivers for Audigy 2, here is what I find:

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.12.0002 (38.30 MB) 16 Mar 07

Wow. No driver updates in over a YEAR, dude! Vista has been available for Creative in Beta release for them to update their drivers to work with Vista since 2005-2006.

But wait! That’s not all! Not only are there no new drivers in over a year, they are crippled and do not have hot EAX HD, as mentioned by the release notes from over a year ago:

Known issues:

* Applications from the original Sound Blaster Audigy CD will not work with this download.
* Users are advised to use Audio Console included in this download to change speaker configurations.
* This driver does not support the following:
o Decoding of Dolby® Digital and DTS™ signals
o DVD-Audio
o DirectSound®-based EAX games
o Gameports
o 6.1 speaker mode.
* SPDIF passthrough is supported on Vista 32-bit only.

Rrrrright. Do you are telling me that in over a year you could not get these features to work in Vista? Brilliant. Now I’m in 2008 and I have jack shit to use my Audigy 2 in Vista.



X-Fucked
When you support your customers that use older products, you are in very good shape to have them buy your products again in the future. Here is the proof. Since I had no Audigy 2 love for Vista, I then decided to shop around for an X-Fi, knowing it is a newer product and probably has full function drivers for Windows 64-bit. I was happy that I could have some EAX HD in Vista. Well, Creative doesn’t think so. Creative does not think that their X-Fi card is good enough for Vista.

X-Fi is just not working properly in Vista yet, even with X-Fi being Creative’s flagship product. X-Fi has problems with systems have more than 4 gigs of RAM. What the fuck? Having more than 4 gigs of RAM in my system is THE reason why I am running 64-bit, but X-Fi has problems with that. Unfuckingbelievable.

Get this, Creative is even going against Daniel_K, some dude who is making Creative drivers work the way they should. That is fucking kick ass. This also shows how some guy does better than a big company. Creative does not realise that Daniel_K is helping Creative have their products actually work, and they want him to stop. Yeah, great PR move, Creative! Fucking brilliant!
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&thread.id=116332&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 (cache)

Not only that, Creative purposely disabled features for the Audigy drivers when Vista is detected on install. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/04/daniel_k-who-fi.html (cache)

Also, some mad greets to the Digg community for raising this shit storm that Creative deserves.
http://digg.com/hardware/Creative_threatens_community_modder (cache)
Creative certainly is showing that they have no interest in their products to work in Vista. Retarded.



PCI Slomo
Ok, so no love for Audigy 2 and X-Fi for Vista, so I decided to see if Creative had any newer products that work in PCI Express instead of PCI. Their offering does not even do EAX at all. Creative, are you fucking serious? The PCI Express SupremeFX II that comes with my motherboard is looking like a better option for Vista than my Audigy 2 right now. At least THIS card has some EAX on it, when compared to Creative’s PCI Express board. I wonder what I will do when faced with the option of buying new hardware that will not even work, when I have free hardware with my motherboard? Yeah, no shit. Fuck Creative.



Creative killed all the fuzzies
Creative just does not give me warm fuzzies anymore. I never had warm fuzzies in the first place when having to downgrade from my Gravis to a Sound Blaster when Gravis killed their sound card division. You can’t make my Audigy 2 work in Vista when everything else in my system does, and not even your newer X-Fi works in Vista. I never had super warm fuzzies for Creative, but now all the fuzzies are dead. No more fucking fuzzies for Creative. Fucking terrible.

You see, I am TRYING to buy your products, but you don’t want me to buy any of your sound cards. I am shopping right now to buy a laptop sound card for my netcasting, but guess what? That’s right, it’s not going to happen with a Creative product. You simply don’t give a fuck about your sound card business anymore. I really think Creative is dead as far as sound card products go.

Creative products are capable and Vista has been around quite long enough for Creative to produce functional drivers for Audigy 2 and X-Fi, but Creative is doing fuck all.

Fuck you, Creative, I am not likely to purchase any of your fucking tech any time soon.

The Palm Treo 680 is not made for Asians. Palm does not want this market.

time March 23rd by Botrax


Different is good when it’s better.
Grab any cell phone from LG, Samsung or Motorola, you will most likely find a hole or ring to attach a small wrist strap or lanyard. This wrist strap makes it easy to grab the phone out of it’s hiding place and can also be used to prevent an inadvertent drop of your phone while using it. Palm, in their grandiose wisdom decided that wrist strap rings are not to be part of the Treo 680, when all other phones around the world have had these rings for years.


Palm hates Asians.
Palm must hate Asians by not including a wrist strap ring on the Treo 680. Palm is missing out on the complete lanyard/wrist strap accessory market for Treos in the Asian segment. When I show my Treo phone to my Asian friends, they always ask me what color is my wrist lanyard and which Helo Kitty noise charm I have at the end of it. I smack my head with my palm (my hand palm) every time. It makes me feel like an ass and left out every single time. It makes me feel very North-American.


The small guy get’s the protection.
Find the logic in this. Palm Centro is la less expensive device and can accommodate wrist straps. Treo 680 is more expensive and can not have wrist straps. Is Palm telling me that it’s OK to drop a 500$ Treo 680, but adds anti-drop lanyard capability to the less expensive Centro? Is this some kind of racket to extort more money out of people buying more expensive devices? Fuck, I paid 500$ for this phone. I can’t have a simple hole in the casing so I don’t drop my expensive phone with a 2$ wrist strap?


Sony wins.
My Sony TG-50 has a wrist strap ring, it is very handy when using it as a hand held voice recorder. My Sony UX-50 has the BIGGEST wrist strap ring ever seen in any hand held device. With a 1000$ device when it came out in 2003, it’d BETTER have a fucking wrist strap ring! In fact, this ring is reinforced metal that is part of the frame. FUCK!!! Now THAT’s a strap ring! 3 years later Palm gives me fuck all as far as strap rings on my Treo 680. Great. My 150$ digital camera has a lanyard ring. Why can’t my 500$ Treo have one?


I just bought a Treo 680 for my wife. Now she is asking where on her new Treo does she attach her wrist lanyard & Hello Kitty bell charm combo. Fuck.


Don’t worry, Palm, you’re getting off light on this one. I have more rants to rip you some big ones. Just wait for it. I love Palm OS, but Palm devices have bad implementations. Was I spoiled by Sony? No. Palm had plenty of time to implement all this stuff.

GoldenTree’s crippled, slow & unencrypted hotel wireless

time March 16th by Botrax


Hotels seem to have replaced ethernet internet with wireless, as it probably saves money on cabling costs, which is OK. The problems I have with this is that so far I have had slow, crippled, unencrypted and ask for passwords for no reason and they have all been provided by GoldenTree.


Login password?

Before you can do anything with your wireless connection you need to log in with a password that is the area code and your room number. This is stupid and useless. Residence Inn does not do this, it only asks you to agree to the terms of service, which does not bother with useless garbage.


Unencrypted? Are you fucking kidding me?

Wireless connections that have seen so far in hotels do not even use WEP or WPA encryption.I have seen this at Holiday Inn (cached)(cache), Marriott Residence Inn (cached)(cache) and Marriot Fairfield Inn (cache).

Not only is Goldentree (cached)(cache) doing a bad implementation, but hotels don’t seen to give a shit about guests that are staying for business purposes. Some business users will have VPN access, but some corporate VPN access limits tremendously what is possible to do on that connection. The idea is that we HAVE to use the wireless connection without our personal VPN sometimes. When that happens and the connection is not encrypted, that pisses me off because anyone can sniff around and see what everybody in the hotel is doing on their wireless connection.

By the way, FuckingTech.com has been created entirely over a wireless GoldenTree connection in a hotel. This is scary because all operations have been done over unencrypted wireless for everyone to see, from the domain registration, unencrypted FTP transfers (because SSL FTP never works) and unencrypted back end administration of the article system. Anyone listening over the wireless connection could have hijacked FuckingTech.com before it was even started. This inaugural article could have been hijacked!

I don’t mind if anyone grabs the nude celeb pics that I download, but I start minding when I work and an encrypted connection for that type of work is not available.

Unencrypted hotel wireless is risky and it should stop.



Slow “High Speed” connections

Now on to the speed. Goldentree is horrendously slow on Friday and Saturday evenings. Yo dudes! We need more bandwidth over here!!!! I am talking to you, Marriott, Holiday Inn and GoldenTree! When this shit goes on every god damned week-end from November to March, YOU HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM with your unencrypted, crippled and slow ass connection.

Slow “High speed” connections are terrible and it has to stop.



Crippling

GoldenTree also limits the POST sizes that are over 25k. Fantastic. That is just retarded when you are trying to upload files to any HTTP content system such as FuckingTech.com

GoldenTree, you provide slow, crippling and unencrypted wireless connections to hotel customers. You have some work to do.

What burns me is that it seems all hotels use GoldenTree over here in Oklahoma City, which limits your options to attain some sort of satisfaction from your wireless connection provided to you.
