Speakin' of Music...

Winamp streams, although listing in the Media Library (the 'ML'), would not play since at least 8:00pm CST today. As of this writing at midnight, all the streams are back, Check Spellingand with a bonus! Now, when you play Shoutcast streams (radio, later with TV), you get Shoutacast's web-look as an AOL-style popup with oodles of useless info about the stream and what's currently playing.

I'm sure damn glad I had to wait 4 hours for that.

Music, MIDI, and Why?

From diggnation.com comes the venerable Kevin Rose (on the right) & The Other Guy (on the wrong). Why am I referring to him as just The Other Guy? (on the wrong) because he, The Other Guy, had to ask the dumbest question of the hay-century (as in; hay-penny). His question: "Why do they [even have] MIDI anymore?".

To be fair, The Other Guy was probably referring to the common MIDI Ring Tones one hears on a cellphone. To that I say, "I don't know why the MIDI sounds are so shitty on today's modern phones, sir. Perhaps more memory or a bigger chip to hold a better DLS?".


Nip that MIDI in the bud!


The Other Guy is not veteran computer geek and improv guru, ALEX ALBRECHT who also hosts a cooking show called ctl+alt+chicken (remember to hold don the chicken, just as you would an alt or ctl) but he is as the real other guy I referred to and am miffed at for his MIDI-miffing comment. (f***king
MIDI-miffer!)






Hey, try a free bandwidth test (of your internet connection speed)


Electronic musicians (or musicians that use midi at work), post your comments!

More of the same IIS6 nonsense

STANFORD University, although really good, the staff sometimes can make HUGE mistakes - or at least fail to think far enough ahead!

Check the link, very few of the suggestions will work in IIS6, they are great for IIS5, however....

For those of you migrating from IIS5 to IIS6 (Server2003)

IT is not obvious, but there is mention of needing WMI service in order to implement scripted XML metabase changes. However, WMI does not come with Server2003 Standard aand lower. I have not checked, but the WMI capability may have been included in the RC2 version of Standard.

Comment if you know for sure, I'll post up when I find out.

HiJackThis logs REPORT: Lifescaninc.com bad!

Folks, there is a bit of a panic out on the web lately after HiJackThis logs have been perused.

The new one all the "experts" are telling all of the "others" is: Delete the one that says lifescaninc.com

I say: If you want your copy of Picasa2 to run properly, you better keep that one. You see, before Picasa was called Picasa, Google renamed it Picasa from its inventors in a company called lifescan.

That was the idea: The pictures of your life scan before your eyes kind-of-a-thing.

Get it?

Got it.

Keep it.
