The 3 Cs: caffeine, calories, and cocktails... Of course you need the right amount of all, and the right sequencing, but if you get that all is forgiven.

And days like this don't hurt either...

Can I just say it? It's such a great tool. I know, I know, it's for web pages, you say.. But I've been using it for tasks people would use perl for, and it's great. Converting Windows .rc files into SWELL-able C++, converting at&t assembly syntax to intel syntax for Jesusonic, such great things. Hooray for PHP. Easy to install on Win32 (just unzip), comes on OS X, it's a good time. A+.

Thank you that is all.

I should really get into the habit of updating this. Usually I'm busy as hell coding and running around at home.. but now I've spent the last 10 days or so travelling around and getting utterly sick of travelling.. I remember this feeling, from a few years back.. Need to go back to normal life.. Just a few more days left. brain frazzling. need to feel like I have a purpose and am accomplishing something, even if that something is just relaxing.. appear to be doing none of the above. sad panda.

That and need to have pictures up here or something. I think I have an automated way of doing that still in place, wonder if it'll work with the iPhone. Let's test.

Can you please configure your mail servers to check the reverse-DNS on incoming mail? For example, if an email comes from "soandso@somedomain.com", please, for the love of God, check the MX record for "somedomain.com" and make sure it matches the server trying to deliver you mail?

For some reason people like to spam faking some of our addresses, so we get a bazillion "delivery error" messages. UGH.

Apparently someone remixed the vocals to the song "Ode To ZB" (which was an improv with me and Dave Biderman), and it appears it was played on some faraway radio station:

Kivonat Radio

The original track is here:

Ode to ZB

Woohoo!! So awesome!

Radiohead's Remix Thing looks neat a glance. But I think they missed the boat here and should've done it differently.

1) Don't make us use iTunes, for the love of God (sorry, Steve, but you know I'm right). 7digital or whoever else would've been forgivable.

2) Making people PAY for stems is dodgy. It would be one thing if we could buy stems for our own enjoyment of the whole album.. THAT would be worth buying... I understand they probably want to not be paying for the bandwidth--but seriously, use BitTorrent then or something. Nevermind that, if they didn't want to pay for bandwidth, why would they have all the remixes on their site? None of them seem to play for me, so maybe they didn't get enough...

3) The terms of the remix site are pretty terrible. I mean, giving them total ownership of everything that you upload just sucks. It's completely one-sided. Not only do I have to PAY them for stems, but anything I give back to them they get ALL rights to, and I get absolutely NONE? This is a tough sell.

Anyway, it's just disappointing. With just some slight changes this could feel like so much less of an marketing stunt and more like something legit and good.
