Sound Proofin’!

Henry — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:03:33 +0000

Yesterday we had a bit of a barn raising with some of the other residents here at Sietch22. The goal was to attempt to limit the amount of sound that passes between our unit and the one next to us (home of Studio Ogalthorpe).

The task at hand was to cut, glue and place some sound dampening tiles on our south wall. The end result is pretty cool looking wall. The acoustics in our unit have definitely changed, not nearly as live and boomy as it was before. We also noticed that the freeway noise is notably decreased (wierd?). We can also still hear the stereo coming through the wall, but hopefully it’s quite a bit quieter.

Here’s a timelapse i took of the process:

And a couple of details:

@alvinsmith614 congrats on your gastronomical accomplishment! in reply to alvinsmith614 #
just fixed a particularly stupid issue that’s been plaguing me for weeks. this calls for cocktails! #
26 is clearly one better than 25. But they both feel like pretty big numbers to use while describing my age. #

I would pay photoshop prices for a firefox/firebug replacement that didn’t crash 5 times an hour. #
@lantius when i said “i would pay” i should have said “i will ask my employer to pay” #
seriously, how does firebug just forget that i was using the console after a couple of page refreshes? #mytoolssuck #
Delicious cocktail atLiberty. Why did I wait so long to come here? #
http://bit.ly/A8×9k Might have to try this thing out next week, kind of awesome. #
@halfnelson That would be an awesome trip on a motorcycle! in reply to halfnelson #

Against all odds, upgrading my two main tools (eclipse and firefox) on the same day has not yet resulted in total tragedy. #

Somone is shooting off big ass fireworks in eastlake. #
At the kitty ER. Oh pets! #
Emergency vet -1, bagel at Irwins +1, flat tire forcing bus to work -2. Not the greatest start to a week. #
Somone stole my chair for the second time in a week. Fml. #
My personal hell is “Kernkraft 400 (Sport Chant Stadium Remix)” on repeat. #
Operation Free Ben is in effect. #
Apparently crazy smelly people love their pets too. Good to know, feel bad for the pets. #
Operation Free Ben was a success, he’s free from the ghetto vet with unfancy animals. Sadly he’s off to the fancy vet in the morning. #
Regular vet is vastly superior to emergency vet. #
@alvinsmith614 he’s got bladder/general pee-related issues. but he’s on drugs now and hopefully on the road to recovery. in reply to alvinsmith614 #
Cat health somewhat improved. Early to bed in preparation for yoga deflowering in the morning. #
@Rojoleon did you get stiffed? I blame langston! in reply to Rojoleon #
