text: At a glanceQuad biking over the dunesExplore the Kunene River by boatLanding at the airstrip in the Hartmann's Valley canyon makes you feel as though you have arrives at the most remote place on earthStunning family cottageVisit a local Himba villageDescriptionSerra Cafema is a camp located in the extreme northwest of Namibia and is probably the most remote camp in Southern Africa. The camp is located just inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the Skeleton Coast meaning that the cool winds that blow from the Atlantic help to keep the camp cool, even in summer. For those who appreciate truly wild places, the journey to Serra Cafema is one of the most exciting in all of Africa - the flight in takes guests over stunning red desert landscapes. The Portuguese name comes from the mountains to the north that dominate the skyline. The region is shared with wonderful Himba people who are some of the last truly nomadic people in Africa. The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water in the whole region and the river creates a lush oasis along its banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes. The small, rustic and peaceful camp stands within an island of ancient, shady Albida trees on the banks of the Kunene River. The six fully-furnished tents, with en-suite bathroom facilities, are raised off the ground. There is a small swimming pool, dining room and bar. Spend time in breathtaking landscape scenes in the Hartmann Valley with herds of springbok, ostrich and even leopard. Traverse sand dunes on 4x4 safaris and boat on the Kunene River watching Kunene crocodiles basking the riverbanks. Walking trails in the remote mountain and river valleys will always be a highlight for those who enjoy foot safaris. The native Ovahimba families, who live in the nearby vicinity and often visit Serra Cafema, give guests the chance to learn all about their lifestyles and traditions.AccommodationAccommodation at Serra Cafema consists of eight riverside Meru-style canvas and thatched chalets (including one family chalet) on spacious, elevated decks blended craftily into the picturesque surroundings. Each fully furnished tent has an en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan and mosquito nets as well as bug repellent. ChildcareThere are no specific child care facilities available at Serra Caferna Camp. However, children over the age of 8 years are most welcome at the camp and families can be accommodated by opening up adjoining chalets, or they can stay in the family chalet.FacilitiesThe camp's main area comprises indoor and outdoor dining areas, a sunken lounge, a river bar, library, curio shop and swimming pool, all sharing views of the Kunene River. There are set daily menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner with tea/coffee available throughout the day.ActivitiesActivities at Serra Cafema revolve around the exploration of surrounding Namib Desert sands and the lush oases along the river, a journey of contrasts. Informative nature drives and carefully guided quad bike excursions through the fragile dunes allow guests to experience the true Namib in its unbridled glory. The utmost care is taken to tread lightly on the dunes and preserve the unique and delicate habitats of this landscape. Boating on the Kunene River provides guests with the opportunity to venture through the lush riverside oases. There is also a chance to visit a nearby Himba village. When to travel The Skeleton Coast is a year-round destination: moderate temperatures with mist, wind, and hardly any rain. For angling, November to March is the best time to visit the Skeleton Coast.JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDecBest time to visitGood time to visitAverage time to visitNot applicable Location and directions Skeleton Coast, Namibia Serra Cafema is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia on the banks of the Kunene River in the Hartmann Valley.

October 13th, 2006 #3His body is a little shapeless. Also, if you gave him a little more body it would help you to exted him into the frame further so his eye would be at the upper right intersection of the thirds. Then if the clarity of detail of the eye and the facial areas around it was the sharpest part of the work it would definitely give this a strong focal point which would hold people's eyes on the work better. With his eye nearly centered, it makes the work more static and a troll probably should be a dynamic image.
I thought that putting some shadow on the left edge of the ear to match the shadows at the left of the head would be a good idea. I also thought that there would be some shadow a little below and to the left of the lips, because the lips tend to stick out from the face a bit.

Not a bad first post. Now for the ripping and tearing.
First off, try some hard edge brushes; as it stands it's way too blurry. It might look better if the troll was in focus; it would also help to seperate him from the background more.
The perspective on the face is pretty skewed as well. The nose and eyes are from almost exact profile, while the mouth is in 3/4 view. I think some face studies or some reference(or both) could help out.
Keep us posted.
October 14th, 2006 #5I like the harmoious color tone. It gives it a relaxed feel. Try to introduce a new color in the shadow area. It is supposed to be a duller (less saturated) than the light. Right now it is just a darker hue of the same green in the light. Try to introduce a bit of dull blue. Since I can see some blue sky over the forest this would not break the "story" of the picture. Also clearing up some edges. Keep the background a bit blurry and detail less. It helps to push the figure into the front of the picture plane.

October 14th, 2006 #6Thanks everyone, it's amazing how sometimes you can look for hours at a picture and still not see it's faults
See what you mean about the lack of focal point, and the skewed face, infact all the crits are spot on! Time for a rethink.
October 14th, 2006 #7Here's a re-working. Still not 100% happy, but had enough now, need to move on
October 14th, 2006 #8See! He looks like he's going somewhere. He's got a little more attitude. Nice update.

Ted Haggard Scores Reality Special on TLC
Aptly titled 'Ted Haggard: Scandalous,' the show will presumably show how the pastor and his family rebuilt their lives since his epic fall in late 2006. It will also serve as a bit of a public relations device and document his announcement of a new ministry in Colorado Springs, Colo. The special airs Jan. 16.
"My family and I endured the darkest hours imaginable in the public spotlight, and have spent the last four years fighting and struggling to rebuild our lives, our faith and our family," says Haggard in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.
The preacher, known as Pastor Ted to his followers, was the leader of the 30-million strong National Association of Evangelicals and head of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs when a male prostitute-masseur named Mike Jones alleged that Haggard had paid him for sex as well as crystal meth.
The pastor quit his post at the NAE and eventually left New Life. Since then, he's been getting therapy and has called himself a "heterosexual with issues." He remains married, and he and his wife Gayle have five children.
Haggard tells EW that he hopes "showing the world the new chapter of our lives will hopefully inspire others to find their own path to overcome their struggles and embrace the power of acceptance."
He says that if he can be redeemed, then anyone can. "The church is open to all, even those who have committed the darkest sins."
'Ted Haggard: Scandalous' is being produced by RelativityReal, makers of 'Broke & Famous' and 'Find My Family.' If successful, it could lead to more episodes down the road. (Dare we suggest a camping trip with TLC-mate Palin?)

@Stu - While I don't agree with Raidrmik's term, he is spot on accurate.. People like "Pastor Ted" who are trying to hide their activity are usually engaging in more risky behaviour. Also, as he never identified himself as being gay, he probably does consider AIDS to be a gay disease to which he believes he is immune.

Powerful EMP blast in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.

Burt Gummer
Post Content
According to this news article from Gismeteo [
link to www.gismeteo.ru
] Around 20:15 local time yesterday a bright flash illuminated the whole city. Shortly afterwards most of the city's power was lost for about two hours. Anything from television sets to street lights. As noticed in the video some car lights and the radio stopped working as well. Some people even reported their room light bulbs changing color through the spectrum and or showing some weird unusual lights.
The power company explained it all as 'A cat that wandered into a power transformer booth and caused a short circuit.' Must have been Nyan-Cat or the power company people are lying. What are your thoughts? It's way too powerful of an EMP blast to be simple lightning.
In Russia....vee haf new dance.....it call EMP dance.
...and the Russians testing EMP weapons are the LEAST of the USA's problems.

Is your tween on any kind of medication (you dont have to answer if you dont want)
If yes do you see any difference..
My dd takes KEPPRA for seizure.. she has been seizure free for almost 2years.. will be 2 in april.. side effects... she can get very angry, moody my dh says.. PMS in a 2y old..
Quoting DannieLou:My oldest takes Adderol for ADHD and it can make her a little moody...or its the hormones...she's 12 lol
Hmmm...not entirely sure its the meds, but maybe I'll bring it up next time.
Quoting Satur9:
We recently switched from adderal to concerta because she would get sooo moddy when it wore off!
Quoting DannieLou:My oldest takes Adderol for ADHD and it can make her a little moody...or its the hormones...she's 12 lol
Hmm.. I was considering nortriptyline for my MAV (migraine associated vertigo) and I also have insomnia. Never heard of clonidine for insomnia. Will have to look into it! :)
And, yes, I agree about the melatonin. They sell them in 5 mg tablets but it isn't recommended to take more than 3 mg a day. Melatonin is one of those sleep aids that if you take more than you should, you actually make things worse. (I've been tried on sooooooooo many sleep meds..)
Quoting hollydaze1974:
vyvance(add) nortriptalyne (migraine preventative) and clonodine(insomnia) the add and insomnia are not connected. But when you find out your child took SIX melatonin in an effort toget rest, you WILL find yourself at the dr. for a safer alternative. One can OD on something "natural" just as they can anything else

The Alamo Colleges showcased the future of workforce training at the grand opening of its new Workforce Center of Excellence today. District 5 Councilman David Medina joined Alamo Colleges' Chancellor Dr. Bruce Leslie; Board of Trustees Chair James Rindfuss;Wayne Alexander, board chair of Port San Antonio; and local business leaders to cut the ribbon at the state-of-the-art facility, located at 203 Norton Street near Port San Antonio.
The new center makes extensive use of the latest technology for teaching and learning. It features technology-enhanced classrooms, a conference center with seven 70-inch LCD screens, six computer labs, each with 24 workstations, lifesized videoconferencing capability, polyvision interactive whiteboards and monopad, giant touch-screen tablets for presentations and videoconferencing.
"This center will serve as a regional education and workforce training center for workforce innovation that creates high skill/high wage career pathways for area high school and Alamo Colleges' students," said Leslie. "It also allows us to deliver world-class training and professional development courses and workshops for currently employed workers and to conduct activities that promote economic prosperity in the Alamo region," he added.
"This facility will benefit the residents and industries of the Alamo Region and City of San Antonio, especially Port San Antonio tenants, by ensuring that Port San Antonio employers have access to a pool of skilled technicians to meet their expansion and retirement workforce targets," said Alexander.
The newly renovated, 40,000-square-foot building provides space for the Alamo Colleges to expand their award-winning Alamo Academies, which train high school students for skilled jobs and earn them college credit while they are still in high school. Currently, the building provides space for the Information Technology Security Academy. The new center will also allow for the expansion of the Alamo Colleges' other workforce training efforts, including Just-in-Time job training and the Eagle Ford Shale boot camp.
The Just-in-Time initiative provides industry-certified training programs in aerospace and manufacturing. The technology-enhanced, blended or hybrid online training is aligned to industry standards and allows students to complete training in only 12-15 weeks. Currently, students at the center are enrolled in a Just-in-Time manufacturing training program developed in collaboration with Workforce Solutions Alamo and the San Antonio Manufacturiers Association. The program has the capacity to add new cohorts every 30 days as needed by employers. A recent study noted that the manufacturing sector in San Antonio has a $22.5 billion impact on the local economy and that job training for manufacturing workers is critical to this performance.
The center also houses the Alamo Colleges' Small Business Incubator/Mentor-Protégé program. Up to 10,000 sq/ft. of space at the new center has been designated for startup companies identified by the City of San Antonio. The incubator program will allow start-up companies access to affordable rental space and state-ofthe-art conferencing, information and communications technology, meeting rooms, and no-cost mentoring and consulting services. It will also provide temporary space for new companies to launch interim operations while permanent San Antonio facilities are established.
The new facility was made possible through an agreement approved by the Port San Antonio and Alamo Colleges' boards of directors whereby Port San Antonio donated the building and almost 30 acres of land, next to the Port's East Kelly Railport, to the Alamo Colleges. In return for the properties, the Alamo Colleges will provide specialized training over several years to present and future aerospace industry workers at Port San Antonio.
The Alamo Colleges have been instrumental in delivering high quality aerospace technology education to hundreds of aerospace workers at Port San Antonio for over a decade—both through degrees it confers and customized programs for Port customers, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Kelly Aviation Center and Chromalloy. Today there are 14 aerospace-related businesses at Kelly Field, Port San Antonio's industrial airport. The firms directly employ approximately 5,000 workers and generate over $1.3 billion in regional economic activity.
At the Alamo Colleges, high quality education and low costs provide exceptional value to students and alumni who are major contributors to the economy and culture of our community.

Week Two - Bugs and Sales
Last week I told the story of how the "entreprogrammers" podcast inspired me to turn one of my ideas for an application into an actual product and make it available for sale. Of course I had no idea how it would actually do, and in the first week I only made one sale. That was pleasing in the sense that I knew that one or two sales a month would effectively cover my costs for web hosting, and also proved that that my shopping cart and license generator both worked. But I was hoping I could improve things. So in this (rather long) post, I'll tell you what happened in my second week.
Attracting Visitors
First, I needed to get some more traffic to my site and thankfully I had one quite good way of doing that. I had made a similar but limited open source application which continues to be extremely popular (still don't really know how!). I simply updated this application to suggest to users that if they wanted to record their calls they should check out the "pro" version, and directed them to my site. The traffic from this route is currently about 75% of my total traffic.
Secondly, I tried to generate a bit of buzz about the application on twitter. I don't have a particularly big following (about 400 followers) and programmers aren't really my target market, but probably the best thing I did was to give a shout-out to the entreprogrammers. They seemed glad to re-tweet it to their many followers, and it resulted in me reaching the heady heights of about 6 concurrent visitors to the site! Takeaway: a bit of flattery can really pay off if you want people to spread awareness of your product!
The Mailing List
My third idea for getting some traffic was to leverage my mailing list. I had made a bit of a mistake in harvesting emails in the year preceding my launch. I didn't do a "double opt-in" (where you get people to verify their email by clicking a link). This meant I couldn't import the 1400 email addresses I had on the list into MailChimp.
So instead I wrote my own script in the awesome LinqPad application to send mails to this list using my own SMTP server. This revealed that just over 10% of the emails in the list were invalid, and I created a special script on my website to serve up an image in the email so I could track open rate. I was sending out in batches of 50 for fear of getting blocked as a spammer, and so I could try alternative ideas as I worked my way through the list. But 300 emails in, and I've not really seen much of a response so far.
I also emailed out to my MailChimp mailing list (the one with proper double opt in subscribers!), which is slowly growing, but currently only at 40 subscribers. Again the open rate wasn't exactly impressive, and I don't think it led to any sales, but at least this list I am allowed to keep emailing, so I have the chance to keep the product in their mind.
Tracking Errors
Another thing I did during the week, was to actually allow customers to submit the details of any unhandled exceptions they encountered during the running of the application. I needed to know if all the people who were downloading my app were actually having any success running it. The results were interesting (read about what I did here) and I discovered many problems my users were having that could be relatively easily resolved. In fact there are still several issues I need to get fixes out for next week. I suspect that users who see the app crash are much less likely to shell out for a license, so the sooner I can eliminate common causes of error the better.
A Customer Support Case
My heart sank when only my third customer since the site went live contacted the support email to say she couldn't install the application. Turns out she was getting some kind of weird ClickOnce error (yes I know, I'm supposedly an expert in that now). Thankfully she was very patient while we tried a few troubleshooting steps and eventually we got it working for her. But I suspect I was close to having to issue my first refund.
Getting More Subscribers
One of the entreprogrammers, Derick Bailey kindly gave me some advice on my site. He particularly pointed out that visitors could simply download my application without giving their email address. He suggested I should change that, and only offer them the download if they subscribed to my list.
To do that required a bit of learning about the MailChimp API. Unfortunately because I am not on one of their paid tiers yet, I can't create an email that gets auto-sent to new subscribers. So I had to set up a webhook and send out the email with the download link myself when a subscriber was confirmed.
In fact, I currently allow users through to the download page even before they click the confirmation from MailChimp, so technically it is still possible for people to install the app without subscribing to my newsletter. I'm going to see what percentage of people do that, and if it is too high, I'll force everyone to complete the cycle and subscribe before they get the download link.
Website Redesign
The second thing I did was a complete website redesign. This was a painful process as HTML and CSS is not my strong suit. I had paid for a nice looking landing page called Ultima from Wrap Bootstrap. The challenge was working out what bits of the gigantic 3000 line CSS file and the dozen or so JavaScript libraries it came with I actually needed.
I suspect it has left my site a little bloated in terms of download size, and I'm really hoping it actually still works in all browsers, but I do feel that the site now looks a lot more professional and engaging and hopefully I'll still get a lot of people downloading and installing despite the need to enter your email address.
Social Media
I also decided that I needed to give Skype Voice Changer a presence on social media. So I created a facebook page, a Google plus page, and a YouTube channel (no videos yet). I've not yet got round to a twitter account. Of course, these are currently virtual ghost towns, but I've added some social media icons to my website, and maybe if I decide to spend some money on advertising at some point I can drive some traffic through facebook, youtube or twitter.
With only one sale in the first week, I was concerned that I had overpriced my app. I was charging $50/£30 and asking for VAT on top. Other similar Skype utilities seemed to be priced at around $30. So I decided to make the quoted price inclusive of VAT, and run a month long "launch sale" at 40% off. I thought that this might allow me to create a sense of "urgency", particularly towards the end of the month, by encouraging people to buy before the sale ends. As it is, it is rather too easy for them just to try the app out and then forget about it. What difference did my new pricing strategy make to sales? Well nearly there, read on to find out.
The Numbers - Visitors
I've had Google Analytics running in the background for much of the last week. It's fascinating how much information this tool gathers. The number of "sessions" has been artificially bloated by the number of times I've visited the site myself during development, but according to Google Analytics, I have nearly 100 different people visiting the site a day, which I'm hoping isn't too bad for a two week old product (not really sure what I'm supposed to be expecting at this stage).
The Numbers - Sales
Finally, we're onto the bit we've been waiting for. How many did I sell in my second week? Well, I did improve on the one sale from the first week. There was a moment of excitement early in the week when I made two sales in quick succession. But sales came in at a rate of just under one a day and by the end of the week I had sold six. This was a fairly encouraging rate, and if I can keep it up will mean I comfortably cover my costs. Interestingly, including VAT in the price has not impacted my earnings at all, since all my customers so far have been from outside the EU (mostly USA, with one sale each in Canada, Australia and Brazil).
What's Next
Well although one sale a day isn't too shoddy, I don't think it's quite time to put my feet up and abandon this project as a source of "passive income". First of all I need to fix more of the bugs that my users are reporting. This should mean more people have a smooth first experience with the product.
I know I also need to improve the nag screen within the app, so that people who keep using it get regularly promoted to purchase a license, rather than the current half-hearted attempt that is in there.
I'm fairly happy with the overall content on my website now, but I do think I need to create at least one video, to show off the application's features and teach how to use it.
And finally, I'm a little paranoid now that with all the extra JavaScript in the site from the template I bought, maybe some visitors are getting JavaScript errors that are preventing them from being able to use the paddle.com payment form. So I'd like to investigate a way of making that part of the site bullet-proof, so that whatever happens in the page load, the purchase link will always work.
Well done if you managed to read all that to the end! My goal for next week is to improve on the six sales I achieved last week. I'll let you know how I get on, and do let me know in the comments how you're getting on with your own personal entrepreneurial projects!

How to Encode MP3s with NAudio MediaFoundationEncoder
In this post I am going to explain how the NAudio MediaFoundationEncoder
class can be used to convert WAV files into other formats such as WMA, AAC and MP3. And to do so, I'll walk you through a real-world example of some code I created recently that uses it.
The application is my new Skype Voice Changer utility, and I wanted to allow users to save their Skype conversations in a variety of different formats. The WavFormat
that Skype uses is 16kHz 16 bit mono PCM, and I capture the audio directly in this format, before converting it to the target format when the call finishes.
The input to the MediaFoundationEncoder
doesn't actually have to be a WAV file. It can be any IWaveProvider
, so there is no need to create a temporary WAV file before the encoding takes place.
Initialising Media Foundation
The first step is to make sure Media Foundation is initialised. This requires a call to MediaFoundation.Startup()
. You only need to do this once in your application, but it doesn't matter if you call it more than once. Note that Media Foundation is only supported on Windows Vista and above. This means that if you need to support Windows XP, you will not be able to use Media Foundation.
Determining Codec Availability
Since I planned to make use of whatever encoders are available on the user's machine, I don't need to ship any codecs with my application. However, not all codecs are present on all versions of Windows. The Windows Media Audio (and the Windows Media Voice) codec, are unsurprisingly present on all the desktop editions of Windows from Vista and above. Windows 7 introduced an AAC encoder, and it was only with Windows 8 that we finally got an MP3 encoder (although MP3 decoding has been present in Windows for a long time). There are rumours that a FLAC encoder will be present in Windows 10.
For server versions of Windows, the story is a bit more complicated. Basically, you may find you have to install the "Desktop Experience" before you have any codecs available.
But the best way to find out whether the codec you want is available is simply to ask the Media Foundation APIs whether there are any encoders that can target your desired format for the given input format.
includes a useful helper function called SelectMediaType
which can help you do this. You pass in the MediaSubtype
(basically a GUID indicating whether you want AAC, WMA, MP3 etc), the input PCM format, and a desired bitrate. NAudio will return the "MediaType
" that most closely matches your bitrate. This is because many of these codecs offer you a choice of bitrates so you can choose your own trade-off between file size and audio quality. For the lowest bitrate available, just pass in 0. For the highest bitrate, pass in a suitably large number.
So for example, if I wanted to see if I can encode to WMA, I would pass in an audio subtype of WMAudioV8
(this selects the right encoder), a WaveFormat
that matches my input format (this is important as it includes what sample rate my input audio is at - encoders don't always support all sample rates), and my desired bitrate. I passed in 16kbps to get a nice compact file size.
var mediaType = MediaFoundationEncoder.SelectMediaType( AudioSubtypes.MFAudioFormat_WMAudioV8, new WaveFormat(16000, 1), 16000); if (mediaType != null) // we can encode…
What about MP3 and AAC? Well you might think that the code would be the same. Just pass in MFAudioFormat_MP3
or MFAudioFormat_AAC
as the first parameter. The trouble is, if we do this, we get no media type returned, even on Windows 8 which has both an MP3 encoder and an AAC encoder. Why is this? Well it's because the MP3 and AAC encoders supplied with Windows don't support 16kHz as an input sample rate. So we will need to upsample to 44.1kHz before passing it into the encoder. So now let's ask Windows if there is an MP3 encoder available that can encode mono 44.1kHz audio, and just request the lowest bitrate available:
mediaType = MediaFoundationEncoder.SelectMediaType( AudioSubtypes.MFAudioFormat_MP3, new WaveFormat(44100,1), 0);
Now (on Windows 8 at least) we do get back a media type, and it has a bitrate of 48kbps. The same applies to AAC - we need to upsample to 44.1kHz first, and the AAC encoder provided with Windows 7 and above has a minimum bitrate of 96kbps.
Performing the Encoding
So, assuming that we've successfully got a MediaType
, how do we go about the encoding? Well thankfully, that's the easy bit. So for example, if we had selected a WMA media type, we could encode to a file like this:
using (var enc = new MediaFoundationEncoder(mediaType)) { enc.Encode("output.wma"), myWaveProvider) }
In fact, to make things even simpler, MediaFoundationEncoder
includes some helper methods for encoding to WMA, AAC and MP3 in a single line. You specify the wave provider, the output filename and the desired bitrate:
MediaFoundationEncoder.EncodeToMp3(myWaveProvider, "output.mp3", 48000);
Creating your Pipeline
But of course the bit I haven't explained is how to set up the input stream to the encoder. This will need to be PCM (or IEEE float), and as we mentioned, it should be at a sample rate that the encoder supports. Here's an example of encoding a WAV file to MP3, but remember that the input WAV file will need to be 44.1kHz or 48kHz for this to work.
using (var reader = new WaveFileReader("input.wav")) { MediaFoundationEncoder.EncodeToMp3(reader, "output.mp3", 48000); }
But that was a trivial example. In a real world example, such as my Skype Voice Changer application, we have a more complicated setup. First, we open the inbound and outbound recording files with WaveFileReader
. Then we mix them together using a MixingSampleProvider
. Then, since I limit unregistered users to 30 seconds of recording, we optionally need to truncate the length of the file (I do this with the OffsetSampleProvider
, and using the Take
property). Then, if they selected MP3 or AAC we need to resample up to 44.1kHz. Since we're already working with Media Foundation, we'll use the MediaFoundationResampler
for this. And finally, I go back down to 16 bit before encoding using a SampleToWaveProvider16
(although this is not strictly necessary for most Media Foundation encoders).
// open the separate recordings var incoming = new WaveFileReader("incoming.wav"); var outgoing = new WaveFileReader("outgoing.wav"); // create a mixer (for 16kHz mono) var mixer = new MixingSampleProvider( WaveFormat.CreateIeeeFloatWaveFormat(16000,1)); // add the inputs - they will automatically be turned into ISampleProviders mixer.AddMixerInput(incoming); mixer.AddMixerInput(outgoing); // optionally truncate to 30 second for unlicensed users var truncated = truncateAudio ? new OffsetSampleProvider(mixer) { Take = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) } : (ISampleProvider) mixer; // go back down to 16 bit PCM var converted16Bit = new SampleToWaveProvider16(truncated); // now for MP3, we need to upsample to 44.1kHz. Use MediaFoundationResampler using (var resampled = new MediaFoundationResampler( converted16Bit, new WaveFormat(44100, 1))) { var desiredBitRate = 0; // ask for lowest available bitrate MediaFoundationEncoder.EncodeToMp3(resampled, "mixed.mp3", desiredBitRate); }
Hopefully that gives you a feel for the power of chaining together IWaveProvider
's and ISampleProvider
's in NAudio to construct complex and interesting signal chains. You should now be able to encode your audio with any Media Foundation encoder present on the user's system.
Footnote: Encoding to Streams
One question you may have is "can I encode to a stream"? Unfortunately, this is a little tricky to do, since NAudio takes advantage of various "sink writers" that Media Foundation provides, which know how to correctly create various audio container file formats such as WMA, MP3 and AAC. It means that the MediaFoundationEncoder
class for simplicity only offers encoding to file. To encode to a stream, you'd need to work at a lower level with Media Foundation transforms directly, which is quite a complicated and involved process. Hopefully this is something we can add support for in a future NAudio.

Are you feeling your customers' pain?
I blogged recently about finally getting the first version of my Skype Voice Changer application out the door. In order to get something into the hands of users, I had to take a few shortcuts and make a few compromises. One of those was error handling. Basically, for the first version, if something went wrong I would pop up an apologetic dialog, and suggested that they emailed my support address with details of the problem (I included the stack trace in the dialog).
Of course, I got no reported errors at all via email, which meant that no one was having any problems with my app, right?
Automated Error Reporting
Well I knew that probably there were some issues, and so in the next version I added a button on my error dialog to offer the user the chance to submit an error report to a web API. Then my web server could simply drop the error report into Azure blob storage as a text file. Nice and simple (and VS2013 makes it really easy to check a blob container for new entries and look inside them).
Well, within an hour of going live with the new version, I saw three errors reported. And they kept on coming at a rate of about one or two an hour. Some of these were clearly the same user submitting the same problem multiple times, but it revealed that people were using my app, and it wasn't going smoothly for all of them.
Analysing the Errors
By analysing the errors it became apparent that I had some recurring faults. Several users failed to start up with a SocketException - clearly something was blocking them from opening the necessary ports. One user's soundcard refused to open. Some users could connect to Skype, but not determine which version of Skype they were connected to. One user couldn't initialise Media Foundation. One user's installation was bizarrely missing some of the included data files. Without automating error reporting from my app, I would have had no idea that these problems were occurring.
Improving Error Logging
So with error reports now flooding in thanks to my automated submit, I set to work about addressing them. In fact the first thing I did was to improve the error messages I was submitting to myself. They only included the stack trace, and so I upgraded them to include details of what version of Windows and Skype the user was running, and what operation they had been attempting.
Handling Anticipated Exceptions
It also meant I had the opportunity to write some more "defensive code" to handle "anticipated exceptions". In other words there are now several places in my code where I know things might go wrong. Thanks to the stack traces, I know what lines can blow up and with what exceptions. This allows me to specifically write code that anticipates those problems and either works around them, or presents the user with a much more friendly and meaningful message, allowing them to continue if at all possible. However, I still let them report these errors if they wanted, since I don't want to mask an ongoing problem.
Quick Bugfix Turnaround
So I quickly released another version, and sat there refreshing my error blob container to see if my fixes had worked. This time things were a bit more encouraging. In the next 24 hours I had just three errors reported. The improvements I made to error logging also proved extremely useful in helping me diagnose the cause of these issues. This is another benefit of automated error reporting - it allows me to have an extremely quick bugfix turnaround - I can resolve an issue a user is seeing and get an updated version of the app released within hours of the original problem.
Obviously I still don't have any information on how many people are successfully using my application - I'll need to ask my users permission to submit usage statistics in order to do that. But automated submitting of errors with good diagnostic information is an excellent starting point. What about your users? Are they suffering in silence, or are you feeling their pain?

Buying a Code Signing Certificate
Towards the end of last year, I decided to buy a code signing certificate. Why would I want to do that? Well, I've been working on publishing a new Skype call recording utility, and if you leave your applications unsigned, then Windows SmartScreen can block users from installing and running it. There is a way to ignore the warning messages, but many users will not know how to do this, and I wanted to remove as many barriers to installation as possible.
Having a signed application doesn't automatically make these warnings go away. After all, what's to stop a malicious hacker from signing their own code? But once Windows decides that they trust my application, the theory is that any updates or new applications signed with the same certificate will also be trusted.
Step 1 was to find a code signing certificate that wasn't horrendously expensive. Code signing certificates are a lot more expensive than SSL certificates (I recently picked up an SSL certificate for $25 for five years), and can be several hundred dollars a year. This is of course no big deal if you are Microsoft or Adobe, but for an independent developer, this is a significant investment, particularly if you don't have a high volume of sales, or are producing freeware.
I eventually settled on using K Software, whose website seemed to contain relatively up to date information about code signing certificates. Their cheapest authenticode certificates were about $80 per year, and they promised a fast turnaround time. Apparently certificates could be issued as quickly as 15 minutes, or 1-2 days if identify verification was needed.
So I made the order, and my order was passed on to Comodo, who were the actual certificate authority who would be issuing me with my code signing certificate.
After a few days of silence I chased up to ask what was going on, and I got a reply back telling me I needed "face to face verification". In other words I needed to prove I was who I said I was. Fair enough, I was expecting to send some proof of identity to them, but I hadn't anticipated they would require me to visit a Notary Public.
They also told me they wanted my details on 192.com and scoot.co.uk. This was something I really didn't want to do, since these open you up to nuisance marketing phone calls. But I had no option if I wanted to, and registered my business on scoot.
Visiting a notary was a bit of a hassle as it required me to take a half-day off work. It cost me £40, and he took copies of my passports, bank statements and various other forms of identification, and faxed them through to Comodo. I was required to "overnight" the documents to Comodo, but that isn't an option the Royal Mail offer to America, so I went for their best service of tracked and signed, which supposedly delivers in five working days.
That proved to be a mistake, as my documents took 16 days to arrive. This was extremely frustrating as scoot were constantly pestering me with phone calls trying to upsell me to their paid offering. They kept explaining that their free option doesn't show your company website URL to visitors, and wondering why I didn't seem to care about this. I didn't want them to boot me off their listings, so I had to stall them for as long as possible, while I waited for the interminably slow overseas postal service to deliver my documents.
Very concerningly, after I got confirmation of delivery from Royal Mail, Comodo claimed not to have received my documents at all. But after several emails they eventually decided they had received them. Now they needed to contact my Notary Public and get him to verify that he really did send the documents. This took another a few days, and finally, well over a month after making the order, I got my signing certificate.
To actually download the certificate, I needed to use the same computer and browser as I had used to make the original order. This was a bit of a problem at first because I had actually forgotten which one I used now that a whole month had elapsed. But eventually I downloaded my certificate, and it downloaded into some mysterious location in Chrome, but fortunately allowed me to export it as a .pfx file, which is what I needed for signing ClickOnce applications.
So I did finally get my code signing certificate, and it certainly didn't take anything like the 1-2 days advertised. It meant I had to delay the launch of my product by a month. The good news is that as far as I can tell, signing my code has had the desired effect - the installs I've tried haven't been blocked by Windows SmartScreen.
So if you decide you want a code signing certificate, do give yourself plenty of time to get it sorted out and don't leave it to the last minute. You may also want to check out this very thorough article from Eric Law in which he explains how he went about getting his code signing certificate and set up a hardware security token.

Using Azure Application Diagnostics with ASP.NET Web Pages
Although I've built a couple of sites with ASP.NET MVC, I like the simplicity of ASP.NET Web Pages. It allows me to start with a completely empty project and only add code I've written and understand (interestingly this seems to be the philosophy behind the vNext version of ASP.NET). The downside is that every now and then I run into things that would be easy to do with ASP.NET MVC, but finding how to accomplish them with Web Pages is tricky.
Azure Diagnostics
Windows Azure WebSites offers a nice feature to turn on "application diagnostics". This allows you to write your own custom error logs using System.Diagnostics.Trace. It's super easy to configure - simply go to the control panel for your website in the Azure portal, and chose where you want these logs stored. You can choose any combination of file system, table storage and blob storage, and you can set different logging levels for each one.
Once you've done this, in theory you should just be able to write messages using the Trace class and see them appear in the places you've configured. If you choose blob storage, for example, you get a CSV file with the trace messages for a particular day.
@{ System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceInformation("INFORMATION"); System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceWarning("WARNING"); System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceError("ERROR"); }
Using it with ASP.NET Web Pages
However, if you try this with ASP.NET Web Pages, you simply won't see anything at all in your logs. However, thanks to StackOverflow, I found out how to enable application tracing. Basically the TRACE flag needs to be set on the compiler this can in the web.config file. For a .NET 4.5 application, you need the following:
<system.codedom> <compilers> <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" compilerOptions="/define:TRACE" warningLevel="1" /> </compilers> </system.codedom>
Once you've done this, re-deploy your web.config and as if by magic all your trace statements will make it through to the configured destinations. This allows you to easily log anything from both within Razor views as well as from within any C# files you have in your App_Code folder.
Anyway, hope this post is useful to someone as it had me tearing my hair out for an evening trying to figure out why it wasn't working.
