Finally got around to offloading some old media from my Sony TRV-17 in Linux. So easy, I could hardly believe it was Linux. Thanks Red Hat! So now you can see a very short MPEG movie (471 KB) of Evie at her great-grandparents’ farm in Waverly, Tennessee, just before this …

Everything else
Surreal, bizarre juxtaposition for the day: The beginning of Gulf War II and Evie’s second birthday. I hope she will grow up in a world without the threat of brutal dictators like Saddam Hussein.
I surely can’t be the only person in this position (at least let’s hope not, or I’m a big heel). I find myself increasingly distracted during the workday looking for more background information on the looming war with Iraq. I’ve been monitoring several news sites for timely information since I …
Here is a great article on mutual misunderstanding between the U.S. and European nations, and more importantly, their people. The article’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong, but rather that it is of the highest importance that our action in the upcoming conflict with Iraq reflect the character of …
Leah has the new CD (wishfully entitled “Zero Dollars Spent”) mixed and mastered. Design and duplication should commence shortly and we expect to have the finished product in hand by the end of next month or so. And we may have found our new bassist, more to come on that …
It’s a shame that more U.S. citizens lack the common sense to understand some of the basics of epidemiology. A rudimentary grasp of the information covered in this link will allow most people to dismiss a great deal of the breathless, inflammatory, and downright ignorant rumor-mongering that passes for news …
Yikes, I’m getting delinquent. Been busy with the new Red Hat beta 8.0.94, rebuilding old RPM’s from source and testing. Overall, feels much more responsive than 8.0; probably due to the use of the new POSIX threading library from what I gather.
I’m not sure exactly what to say about this (Shockwave/Flash required) other than the fact that I find it very disturbing. Witness the fish-headed superKikkoman and how he induces cowering fear in the lesser toppings, the ignominous end of the cat who can’t figure out which is the better condiment, …
Haven’t posted much due to a very busy schedule of work and Variax-playing. ? Our gig with Leah last night went reasonably well considering we were playing in an incredibly inappropriate venue. Some yutz had the nerve to come up to me when I was running sound for Otis Finch …
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I can’t say enough good things about this new Variax guitar. The Line 6 guys have outdone themselves once again! The models are all extremely accurate except for the 12-strings, which by their nature are almost impossible to reproduce well on a 6-string. But the Les …
