Geek stuff (plus promised clue)

Correction time (again!) -- When I talked about making minidisc recordings from BBCi's 'Listen Again' I was wrong when I said my digital recordings were classed as digital originals. They're not, they're classed as digital copies, which means that I can't make further digital copies from them at all, and that's what I find inconvenient. If I want to copy the recordings to CD I have to use the analogue input on my CD recorder, which means standing over it to make the track marks (you can't make track marks afterwards when using a CD recorder -- unlike when recording to minidiscs).

Not that many people wanted to know that.... But here's something that tons of people are anxiously waiting for: the CLUE!

Right, email me at if you want to win the new paperback copy of The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Just tell me where you think the two-minute ambient audio clip (played on RUR 4) was recorded. Within 100 km. It's a capital city. In continental Europe. I will respond to the first correct email with a request for a mailing address.
