geek of technology

so, jazzs3quence, how did you spend your weekend? much of it was spent restoring the data from the backup to the server. it seems the reason why it restored so quickly the first time was because it didn’t, actually. when stuff was missing, i noticed a lot of input/output errors trying to access my mounted […]

*argh* (advisory: explicit geeking)– admitedly by the time i write this, i’ve lost most of my thunder on this particular subject….HOWEVER….i had a server down at work for 9 hours. the server was a win2k3 server that wasn’t pulling an ip address from dhcp, which is hosted on the unix server. the dmesg log on […]

nin.com has posted that trent will be releasing all of year zero to the public for remixing. so far he’s got “survivalism” (only in garageband format) and now added “capital g,” “me, i’m not,” and “my violent heart” into the mix, all of these having .wav files for the rest of us non-osx-ers. i d/l’d […]

i created an account/page on www.flickr.com. mostly because my digital photo printer at work is out of supplies and we wanted something/someplace to print pictures that are more recent than, oh, xmas 2006…so the cool thing is if you make an account and add yourself as a friend/family of me/us, then you can order photos […]

this post was going to be titled “hello square one” because after getting the soundblaster live! card to work in linux for all of about 5 minutes, i rebooted to play some Guild Wars and when it came back, it didn’t work anymore. that has changed, however, since i am not even reaching square one. […]

after several desktop crashes, partial loads, reboots, frustration, an ingenious apt-get install that i didn’t expect to work and then finally finding the driver on sourceforge but not actually installing and going to the creative labs website looking for a linux driver that, of course, doesn’t exist, i somehow, mysteriously got my transplanted soundblaster live! […]

i like amaroK. i think cedega is overrated. [more=there’s a lot more posted behind this link, but it’s kinda geeky, so be forewarned…there’s pretty screenshots tho.] the good: amaroK amaroK is a multimedia player (altho, thus far i’ve only used it for music). it works much the same way my ampache-powered page does. you create […]

so i’ve had the jazzsequence rss feed in my live bookmarks folder in firefox on my work laptop for a long time, and for most of that time, it hasn’t worked (you can sort of read about it here). it’s sort of stayed there as a reminder that something needed to be fixed. well, i […]

so i had another business idea epiphany last night. many of my amazingly good business ideas have to do with running a music store and how i would do it. i guess it’s sort of a dream i have to be able to share music i like with people and make money off it. if […]

i found a web-based server application by accident when i googled to try to figure out if it was possible to broadcast on LAUNCHcast, which is the SHOUTcast-like protocol that Yahoo uses. i don’t think it is, but in the search results i found a blog in which ampache was mentioned as being the next […]
