Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On

Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On 06/25/2004 08:53 AM

bobathome.jpg imageLet's take a moment to honor Bob Bemer, the man who, among other things, invented the ASCII character system, named COBOL, put the backslash into mainstream use, and developed what became the ESC key. He died yesterday at 84 after a battle with cancer. Both technologies -- or at least the technology and the concept, I guess -- have changed the way we compute. If it weren't for people like Bemer, relative dabblers like myself wouldn't have had such great hobbies and careers these last few decades.

Bob Bemer, we give you a hearty :wq! May your compile be without error, and may your shell be always 80 characters. ^D

Pioneer DVJ-X1 DVD Turntable


Pioneer DVJ-X1 DVD Turntable 08/18/2004 08:38 AM

pioneer_dvj-x1.jpg imagePioneer has announce the DVJ-X1, the first (to my knowledge) DVD-based turntable for real-time video mixing straight from source discs. It's got all the normal tomfoolery you'd expect from a digital turntable, like no-tempo-loss reversals, Hot Cues (instantly recall up to three points on the disc), and Emergency Loop functions for when you drop the biscuit and need a quick 4 beat loop. Plus you can save all your wave data and cue and loop points to an SD card and recall your set later. Looks rather hot - expect to see it in an audio retailer near you real quick like.

Be sure to check out the Video Demo, too; it looks like a blast to play with. (Thanks, Chris!)
