To ensure the disc survives. And also, please close the disk or insert a Flashdrive, so we could put a picture of ourselves on it, holding the cd.

Flashdrive would be the win.

I need around tree fiddy.

The origional idea of this is to see how many pieces the disk gets round the world in.

Of course, putting it in a protective case is kinda stops this

We also had a discussion about writing to the disc n stuff..... but the reality is, there is a high chance of the disc getting broken-> files are lost
Adding a flash drive is a nice idea- but again, there is a good chance of it getting broken.
Also, the biggest problem with using these methods if that is the envelope never reaches a destination, all the files are lost.

What I was thinking, prehaps, was to include some FTP details in the envelope, and people just upload it to there. Sure, it won't be as "epic"* as writing to disk or drive, but its more realistic- it adds no extra weight to the envlope, and it can't get broken- also, if the evelope gets lost, we still have the files from the journey.

*Its still going to be epic anyway..... people write their names physically on the disk (with a pen!), and can write messages on the piece of paper that is going round with it.

Ill see what DU thinks about the FTP idea....

That should be closed thread witch a mod takes care of the posting to reduce the spam, better to have an own chatterthread about it separately imho ...

What about those miniscule data cards, like micro SD, but smaller, the ones you can use to extend your cellphone's memory? They weigh almost nothing (thus they won't contribute to the cost), they are to small and to thin to get broken and most people have some device that can read it. Either one has to link one's cellphone/digital camera/mp3 player to a PC or use a cardreader.

One request that I have is that nobody do the following:
-stick it up their ass
-pee on it
-anything involving the smell of shit or anything of the like
-"douchebaggery" (just heard that word yesterday HAHA)
you get the point. nobody do anything ridiculously stupid to it that it will ruin the fun.

other than that, we should definately take pictures and have a seperate closed forum topic. We send the pics/vids to a mod, and he/she posts it in the topic for everyone to see to stay organized.

That isn't the posting list- that just a rough order of people by country.

The route will be created over the weekend.

I think a usual SD card will work out better... Meybe even MMC? They're too big and beefy to break. I've got one in stainless steel

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Remember not everyone has SD card readers.

Remember not everyone has SD card readers.

They're a lot more popular than the ones in cellphones... And less likely to get lost.

venom6: Since day One.; +247|6776|Hungary

As i see i will have to send the envelop to Terror. I just offered him (via karma) that i send him a beer
Or if you smoke you can get a package of some cheap Hungarian cigarettes. If i send something i dont mind to send something plus. Only a disc and some massage on a paper ?

What about we all put in a postcard. SO at the end there would be a collection of postcards from all the cities where the envelop was.
What do you guys think ? Or the envelop would be too heavy at the end ?
