HoNoToGroABeMo Day Thirty-One: It Is Done

Tom Vasel, the shy, retiring half of the duo at THE DICE TOWER podcast, emailed me to request that I provide some form of audio snippet about "my trip to WBC" for use with the show.
I replied that I'd be glad to do it, hambone that I am, but I really was only there for a couple of days (see MY WBC FLYBY below), I don't do the tournament thing, and I'm not one of those competitive types. Tom indicated that my contributions would STILL be okay, for all of that.
So I went out looking for an audio editor, preferably for the nice price (freeware). Bingo, I think I've found.. THE THING... that I was looking for.
AUDACITY is a GNU-license special:
It's a heck of a lot more complicated that I am comfortable with right now, but I did manage to edit out some pauses and extraneous clicks and such with it using no instructions whatsover. That's GOOD software..
Anyhow, tune in to the Tower for episode 13 and you'll hear a lot of blather from your faithful correspondent. Or maybe not if they have any sense.
