Yep, thanks for entering, LP! And thanks for reminding me about the confirmation emails, S_Z - I've now sent them out.

Nahkranoth · September 10, 2008, 06:20:40

I hope I'm not late, uploading now! Will enter asap.

LPChip · September 10, 2008, 08:09:51

I guess the deadline is set till tomorrow?

Nahkranoth · September 10, 2008, 09:01:13

After 3 hours of hellish f#ckage I still can't upload anything anywhere! AARGH!!!
I won't forgive myself if I'm gonna miss the deadline :evil:

LPChip · September 10, 2008, 09:26:52

How big is the tune?

Nahkranoth · September 10, 2008, 09:38:01

4,5 mb. After it's got finally uploaded i get the error message about wrong picture code. I'm sure I typed it right. Maybe something's wrong with my connection, I almost gave up :cry:
[EDIT] The problem is I can't re-upload. With any browser.

bvanoudtshoorn · September 10, 2008, 10:20:58

Hey Nahkranoth - if you can email me the track, I can put it up on my server for you. Or if you could put it up on a google page, or anywhere that I can get at it, I'll put it up on my server.

And yeah, LP, the deadline is still tomorrow. Chicago time, because I haven't bothered putting in a time offset yet.

Nahkranoth · September 10, 2008, 10:30:19

What a dumbass I am! I never even thought of sending by email

But right now I'm trying uploading to sendspace. So far the process seems to move. If everything is OK I will enter the track to the compo with sendspace link. And if you can host it at compo site, then I would be forever grateful, maybe call my son Barry. Just joking

Just forty hours left to enter! Five entries so far, with room for more!

Get your entries in now!

Transport by email is only an emergency solution, because the attachment will increase 50 % in size due to coding.
So still better to look for an accessible free host on the web, so you'll just have to mail the link.

I thought this UUE or other coding is a thing from the past.
Anyways, the problem is solved so head to the compo, download and vote!

You could be right. I didn't kept track of these developments.

Well, so far if choosing 'download and vote' at http://test.pbc.wa.edu.au/compo/?page=vote
I get a dialog to enter another compo, with the message 'Voting closed'..

bvanoudtshoorn · September 12, 2008, 02:30:22

Just two and a half hours until you can start voting as I write this.

The competition is running at GMT-5 time; at some stage, I'll either change this to plain GMT, or GMT+8 (my timezone).

bvanoudtshoorn · September 12, 2008, 05:05:38

Voting is open!

You can now go cast your vote at the Barryvan Compo. There are six fantastic tracks to vote on:

» Var Plus (Sam Samshuijzen)
» Enigma (Chris Vaisvil / Clones)
» Enigma Intensity (LPChip)
» Cross the Line (DeeKyoo)
» Kadath (Nahkranoth)
» (She was an) Enigma (aGp)

Head over to the compo website and vote now!

Thanks to all six entrants this round - you've all written great tracks.

Sam_Zen · September 12, 2008, 06:16:30

Well, quite difficult, 6 quite different tracks is a lot to judge.
As music , I like the track by DeeJyoo maybe the most, but I don't see any connection with the compo theme.
It's a pity for the resolution, that the choice is only upto the third.
Voted.
