    <content type="html">Here is a thing my brain does sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a construction site which I pass on the way home from my local subway station. For the last few days, the partially-built structure has been clad in Tyvek sheeting with "SPRAY FORCE" emblazoned on it in giant letters. This probably refers to a process which needs to be contained and may be hazardous to passers-by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last time I passed the construction site, I was inspired to imagine "SPRAY FORCE" as a sort of '80s-vintage cartoon, created with the express intention of selling a line of action figures and vehicle toys with water guns built into them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within five minutes, the "SPRAY FORCE" theme song was stuck in my head, and I was compelled to take revenge by reimagining the show such that each script would contain almost nothing but barely-hidden subtext about the most horrible perversions imaginable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elibalin&amp;ditemid=4912" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Sometime within the past week, my desktop machine went half-mute; that is, sound only works in a few applications, without obvious rhyme or reason. I suspect this may have been precipitated by *something* getting updated (I'm half inclined to point my finger at iTunes/Quicktime, for no reason in particular), but I have no clear idea *what*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of what I've tested thus far,&lt;br /&gt;What is audible:&lt;br /&gt;iTunes&lt;br /&gt;The few games I've tested, thus far (City of Heroes, Knights of the Old Republic, Audiosurf)&lt;br /&gt;The Silverlight browser plugin Netflix uses for streaming&lt;br /&gt;The 3D audio demo built into the sound hardware's control panel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is silent:&lt;br /&gt;Windows system sounds&lt;br /&gt;Pidgin&lt;br /&gt;sound from DVDs&lt;br /&gt;Audacity&lt;br /&gt;Anything using Flash (which includes things like Hulu)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Updating the drivers didn't change anything. The sound hardware is built into the motherboard, something I've had a bit of wariness about in the past, but which hasn't actually been a problem. I'm more than slightly inclined to toss in a ten year-old Soundblaster I have lying around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the upside, the computer is less likely to spit out a series of annoying chimes when the cat walks across or slumps atop the keyboard, as he is wont to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elibalin&amp;ditemid=1282" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
