Unbelievable... *facepalm*
PoeticIntensity
I'm not entirely sure how to begin this post, but I'm just sitting here kind of wagging my head back and forth in disbelief. I hope this is at least exaggerating.
With everyone blathering on about how wonderful Windows 7 is, Microsoft hasn't changed a bit.
Before I begin, let me just say how wonderfully reassuring it is to be using Linux ...

New Studio!
PoeticIntensity
Although I've got quite good at it, I've been in web development for too long. My passion has always been in music, and it's about time I did something about it.
Knowing that I need to keep my family safe, and having been bitten some by risky endeavors, I'm taking baby steps at first, but it's now official.

Last Thursday, I was looking around the Internet for a great deal on a new pre-amp I want for my studio. Happens that about 2 hours into searching, I found a deal almost too good to be true.

First thing out of the gate that I noticed this time around with this chapter is that the first thing Alma says to Corianton regards his disobedience - in a possibly sarcastic way, or at very least - sincerely displeased. "Haven't your brothers been a good example for you?" Anyway... I found that interesting

Today, an audio file was sent to me in an email. This audio was compressed and encoded using the aac codec for compression and wrapped in m4a. In order to use it, I had to convert this file to a wav format. Usually, I receive files in mp3, ogg, or flac file types, and use lame, oggdec, or flac to decode them back to wav. Wit...

Of course, verse 1 immediately reminds me of verse chapter 36 and what I wrote about that. But then, verse 2 held just as much interest for me. First off, it seems that Alma talking to his three sons in these chapters has something to do with his being old enough to die at any time. Yet, Alma's words talk about him having great jo...

Proof I Went to a Jazz Game

Some people won't believe this, but last Tuesday evening, I went to a Jazz game. My good friend Scott called me up, told me he had some kick-butt tickets, got the "okay" from my wife, and we were off!
