Thirty-six children and a woman were injured Thursday afternoon when a car mowed into a line of nursery school children in the city of Shizuoka after its 59-year-old driver swerved to dodge a cat, local police said.
Q: Priorities seem ok to me.
I’ve always tinkered with media players and so forth. I was thinking that if I do change servers, I’m probably going to want to run a shoutcast type server for kahvi stuff. I always loved jetCast for that (from jetAudio). It’s not the cleanest, but it’s super easy to edit on the fly and configuration is fast. I was looking into this so I loaded jetAudio again (that and QCD kept dying because of plugins or my massive playlist). Gah! I can’t stop liking this media player. only annoyances I care about are: lack of developer support and plugin documentation (hell, plugin support even if you do hack it. to get a “plugin,” you have to compile it into a separate application) and thus no plugins. this means you have to wait for the developers to integrate what you want. they seem pretty good about it, but I want a plugin for MSNM for what i’m listening to and audioscrobbler. As soon as I get my forum confirmation, I’ll go post on their forum what I want, but I have no idea if it will be integrated. You should try jetAudio if you want a very feature rich media player. You probably don’t need anything from the pro version (which comes free with any cowon/iAudio digital audio players so i have it).
Speaking of server: it’s a pretty good chance that I will be upgrading the server within the next couple weeks. Hopefully that means nothing to anyone else except maybe more features on my site, but it likely means some downtime. That’s ok. I just have to find out exactly what is happening and then try to prepare for it. Should know tomarrow.
ok, there are many free email sites available and I know all spammers have their own email accounts SO either humor me and make your email look real or i’m putting on e-mail confirmation on all comments. Thanks for spamming.
Well, I put in my time with Flock. I tested and left feedback for the developers. Now I’m back in Opera. I like it here. It’s stable, renders things, has most of what I want built in. I miss some of the features of Firefox… but I’ll deal. Hell, when I load Vista, I might use IE 7. I just don’t know.
Also, the server may be changing, so the site undoubtably will experience some down time if that occurs (will know better later).
I’m still trying out Flock some more, but I’m progressively becoming less and less impressed. It has very little more for most people than Firefox (the integrated “social networking” aspects are interesting, but don’t save a lot of time).
The worst thing is Flock’s web site. The forum doesn’t work right (hell, you can’t post about flock with flock. the posting page won’t render) and some links in the site are broken. This looks pretty bad in general. I know it’s only version .4.8, but it doesn’t just need bug work. It needs a greater hook. I’m going to try it out for a while more and see how other things go.
OK, Flock is interesting. It really doesn’t seem to be much more than Firefox. It doesn’t have all the extensions you might want, but by editting the install file (really easy copy/paste job), all the ones i’ve wanted worked.
Bugs: gmail’s compose doesn’t work… that’s odd and annoying but not major.
Features: i’ve only cared about the integrated blog feature (what is doing this). It’s very useful. The favorites I have not checked out much. the search your history is very nice to save you looking for stuff again and again.
I think it has potential, but I need to figure out if it’s enough better than firefox to recommend people using it instead of firefox.
Ok, this is kindof cool. I’m sitting on some web page looking at who knows what and writing a blog entry about it. This is one of the integrated features of Flock. The interface is nice and the social networking aspects is quite cool. I know it’s based on Firefox, but seems to be built on 1.5 or at least is fixed for some of the security holes. I’m not sure what the drag stuff to blog it box does yet, but it seems quite promising.
Let’s see how well this blogs!
Review:
The release really starts off strong and keeps on going. It’s so complex yet perfectly balanced between tracks and within.
When you follow the play order and just feel what is there, it’s perfect harmony. It’s really a great release and tough for the next artist to live up to.
Aatu / Ussn is such a marvelous track. It starts so simply but then moves you at an artists pace through feelings slowly building but never stopping. Being followed by legho seems strange at first, but is so marvelously done as well that it binds through difference by intricacy.
The softer, delecate feeling is carried straight through even in a sound of halo that is more pushing and terribly emotional, but is still delecate in a different way.
pt.1 and pt.2 are somewhat opposites of emotion with a similar feel to the song. they obviously go together but show variety at the same time.
microessen is so flowing and so deep that it cannot be taken a single time through. the beat (and at times, lack there of) keeps you in the song and so desperate to hear it all and feel all that there is.
the completely different feel of laid egg is a cool change that again highlights the versitility of the artist and the album.
the last track i swear is just to be mean. it seems to peacefully drift by for you only to realize that there isn’t more beyond this. it’s an excellent conclusion to an outstanding release. major kudos for esem

Directly Download Release as Torrent
While doing other things, I frequently enjoy playing with operating systems. My latest trial was with Arch Linux. I was trying to get this set up on my laptop. It seemed like a reasonable request. Installation was annoying. It failed half way through installing the packages the first time. Second time Grub wasn’t right. Third time I won. For some reasion, it doesn’t load network on boot, but that was an easy fix by adding b44 to rc.conf and rebooting. I followed that up by using pacman to install xorg and then gnome. Well, that’s about as far as i ever got. It seemed there was something up with xorg. First i got the mouse wrong (it’s /dev/input/mouse0 not /dev/mouse). I also forgot my refreshrate on my laptop so i had to do that again. After all this, it couldn’t find the window manager. GAH. Now I’m installing gentoo there. I’m going to have a fun operating system there. I demand it!
Gentoo:
I’ve always loved Gentoo. Some of the things that others dislike (and at times they can bother me) I can truely enjoy. I love installing Gentoo, the worst part about the operating system. It makes sense and you don’t ever have to just trust what’s going on. You are doing everything. I don’t have a gui yet, but that’s being built. I hope this works out well, like really well. If it works out well enough, I can keep it on my lappy all the time, but… something is always not compatible. We shall see how this turns out… in several hours
I’m a lover of a wide variety of music. I love well made music. The Kahvi Collective is a very nice free netlabel for some high quality electronica. Because of my love, I have set up a Bit Torrent Tracker for the music. I didn’t write the tracker. Too many people have done it. No, I didn’t skin the tracker. I suck at that, so i’m waiting for someone who doesn’t to help. The point is, you can now get kahvi music via bit torrent.
Also, i made myself a web badge:
