i’m sure it’s mostly just the exhaustion kicking in, but that side project is kind of a downer right now. i’ve determined that #2 on the “room for growth” list is vaguely irrelevant b/c I can safely use backticks as to enclose the fields. (my test w/ some sample data went swimmingly.) #3s thru #5 […]
James Duncan Davidson has a neat little post about how iTunes actually kind of sucks in the LAN environment. His three major points: When playing from a remote iTunes, play counts and last played information isn’t kept. This breaks the “Recently Played” and “Top 25 Most Played” smart playlists. It’d be nice to manage playlists […]
A little PHP buggery from the “just-for-fun” department, found_drama is … if not proud, at least delighted to present: iSpy (alpha version 0.2) — a random generator for “Eye Spy” style personals ads. (You all know the type…) Example: You: all leathered up with nowhere to go at the gym, like about a month and […]

First and foremost, my best wishes out to everyone. Especially those poor schmucks who (like me) find themselves working today — even if it is “just on-call”. For your sanity, and for the sake of everything that is still good and true in this sick, sick world, if you are working today, do something subversive. […]
Someone and I mean SOMEONE has an unhealthy obsession with bananas. (And it’s not me, I swear…) Truly some bizarre material here. And surprisingly, the link to the movie about the banana before the firing squad is still active. Now is probably the time when you’re asking yourself: “What the hell are you doing Googling […]
Popular Science posts their 2nd annual Worst Jobs in Science list. ormally, researchers would use a centrifuge to extract fluids to be tested. But this is the one way in which the tampon is not an optimal specimen-collecting tool, because its true purpose is to hold liquid in. “Optimal recovery,” Garland says, “requires manual squeezing.” […]
Via Boing Boing, we hear of one man’s quest to get vinyl ripped to MP3 and out onto the P2P nets since most of it is now apparently public domain. First problem that jumps out is: …need a record player with component outputs… …which just says (to me at least) that this guy doesn’t know […]
As this project expands and meets head-on with this neat little nuance of Apple’s “plist” ish, I find myself at a fun little x-roads. To start with, there’s a whole lot of MySQL and PHP being re-learned at the moment. The funny part is, being an iTunes user, so much of my music collection is […]
Woke up with my left eye swollen shut… Stayed home trying to deal with that and yet still managed to spend my whole day doing work-related stuff but at least I have music here. And then this comes on via an old kozu mix. Damn you Ben!
