When listening to decoded digital speech radio, it is bothersome to have the raw radio traffic playing in my ears over top of the decoded sound. To get around this, I am bridging the output of gqrx
to a Pulseaudio null sink which dsd
is listening on.

I recently watched Melissa Elliot's talk from DEFCON 21 titled Noise Floor Exploring Unintentional Radio Emissions 2013
which inspired me to buy a Realtek SDR (software defined radio) dongle from Ebay.
I am running Ubuntu (13.04 to be specific).
I am assuming that you already have your SDR dongle working and gqrx
installed on your system.

I have compiled these instructions from a couple of sources:

As a long-time vim user and evangelist, I have grown to love tmux over the past year. A co-worker introduced it to me while my office workstation was still running OSX because iTerm2 has special tmux support.
My terminal session occasionally loses track of my tmux sessions when I log in via SSH while working remotely.
I found the following answer on Stack Overflow:

If you're like me, and you just got a PS4 because you F5'd the stock page for your local electronics retailer until you could send a retired family member to snatch a PS4 from the clutches of some other deserving gamer, you may be having some difficulty signing in to the Playstation Network.

Oh. My. God.
I have returned from quite a long hiatus in blog entry writing to write about how I got sound working in Wine with a stock install of Ubuntu 12.10 and the (mostly) default Pulseaudio setup that Ubuntu uses. It took me 2 months and tens of Google searches for things like "Wine Ubuntu 12.10 no sound" and "What the hell? No pulseaudio sound with wine1.5."
All I wanted to do was play Starcraft 2 without booting in to Windows. I'm fine with the lower frame rate when running under Wine. I JUST WANTED SOUND!

This is a test post that should show up on my personal Google calendar.
Update: It does.

I have submitted the module to the Drupal community for review and am just waiting on full git access to be granted for the project.
I have made a few changes in the way Tokens are processed and have creating, updating and deleting calendar entries working smoothly. I am not exactly happy with bundling Zend with this module, but I was not about to re-write bindings for the Google Data APIs. The hard part of dealing with Google APIs in Drupal really is the lack of lightweight bindings.
I will investigate using an existing Drupal Zend framework module in the future for my Zend needs.

I hate to delay the release of this plugin but I am currently reworking some of the preferences to take advantage of Token more effectively.
The initial design for the module was that dates for the calendar entries would be determined by some process on specific CCK date fields from the node type. The module would take care of date format construction under the hood. I was initially fine with this decision until implementing it inside the project it was designed for.

With the recent gene therapy successes with Hemophilia B, how long before we get attempts at Hemophilia A gene therapy? If I understand it correctly, they are both single gene defects and the same techniques should work.
