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.

Okay... Quick story...
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. I found my 8-channel Focusrite Platinum Octopre for $300.00 less than anywhere I could find ($400.00 less than retai...

Yeah, that can't be good. I'd seen that problem before when LVM got out of sync somehow (after about 6 months of uptime), and decided to reboo...

Alma : 39
PoeticIntensity
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

m4a audio conversion in Linux

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...

Alma : 38

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...

Okay, two parts did.
The first is verses 8 - 13. It seems to me that these verses are talking about the kingdom of Judah. Though they may assemble themselves and try, they will ultimately fail unless they begin to fear God. (again, could b...

They also are wi...
