2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

I have a special announcement concerning the Mock Hunt.

The Medallionators have contributed $187 towards the prize for the Mock Hunt. Snake1988 gave $88 and Jake is giving $99 ('99 being his first year hunting). They do this to provide others with incentive to participate and as a challenge to all those that do that they believe they will win. So the gauntlet has been thrown down and we have a prize, or at least the beginning of one.

I'll throw in the extra $13 to make it an even $200. If anyone else would also like to contribute to the prize fund and make a statement of your confidence, feel free to do so. The bigger the prize, the more exciting the hunt and the more competition there will be. 100% of the money donated will be given to the winner. The Medallionators may be tossing in a few others perks as well. So the game is afoot and I will do everything possible to have it ready by February 17th. And since there will be a significant prize, this year's Mock Hunt will be conducted with the utmost fairness so don't even bother asking me for hints. :-)

Morning all!

  • Keep Scribe happy
  • Provide for family
  • Keep Scribe happy
  • Have fun
  • Keep Scribe happy

    Very close, TMK.

    That's right. If you don't keep the woman of the house happy...ain't nobody happy!

    Any married man knows this (as well as every woman). :-)

    notice how keeping scribe happy is higher on the list than providing for the family!

    LOL!

    I'd say the list is part of a larger whole.

    I'm trying out your extractor program right now, Ahres.

    Riddle me this. I just got a burner for Christmas this past year and am wondering. Why am I unable to directly convert from CD audio to MP3? Or is there a way and I'm just ignorant?

    Also, when I try to burn a compilation from multiple CD's, it always ends up crashin' on me. It works fine if I copy a whole CD at a time but not if I try to copy from multiple CD's. What could I be doing wrong?

    I haven't played around with it much so I'm still pretty ignorant.

    Sorry, got distracted posting to my singles club. Yes, I think at this point we can say Wild Tymes at 3pm is official. The Medallionators are still hosting their event at Buggs. I went by there last night to get their donation and it was kind of your typical local bar type of thing. They did mention that there's a bus that goes right by it to downtown if anyone didn't want to have to worry about parking. But then again, their parking lot wasn't all that big.

    thx it depends on what program you're using. i think most of the newer programs will directly rip to mp3. if not, well, that's what cd-da xtractor is for :)

    as for compilations crashing, i make a habit of creating a cd image first and then burning from that.

    i think most of the newer programs will directly rip to mp3.

    That's what I thought. I'll have to play around with it more. I haven't ripped an MP3 in years so, I'm sure it's quite different. When I did it before I had to convert to a .WAV first then convert that to an MP3.

    as for compilations crashing, i make a habit of creating a cd image first and then burning from that.

    I believe I did that and it still crashed. I'll have to play with it more. I just haven't had the time yet.

    Thanks Ares
