Finally had enough of ubuntu linux. Their buzz word is ‘human’. I don’t like it. I want my computer to act like a computer, feel like a computer, and actually treat me like I’m the human. I don’t want it to think for me. I want to give it input. I want to know why it does the things it does. I want to be able to solve my problems when something doesn’t work quite right. I want to be involved. Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe I’m just not ‘human’ enough.

gates
I don’t like gates. It may have some relation to my disgust with Microsoft. They slow you down, and make you wait. They create bottlenecks, although that may be the fault of the fences. Gates should be outlawed. All of them, including the people named Gates.

So i tried to make my site conform to “the rules”. It didn’t like that and bit me. No really, I’ve got the marks to prove it. Plus it turned all the text blue when you would put your mouse over the page. So I gave up on that. I would like to mention that at least my CSS conforms to CSS v. 2.0 standards. But Internet Exploder doesn’t support that (even though CSS v. 3.0 is already out), so my site still looks funny in IE. You may be asking, “What other option do I have?” Please scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the little Get Firefox image. You’ll like it, and your computer will thank you.

Well, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve updated the layout of the site a bit. Integrating it with the gallery is another story. It’s not finished, so if things don’t work, hit refresh, and it’ll probably be back. It still doesn’t work correctly with Internet Exploder, which is no surprise. What is a surprise to me, is that the gallery doesn’t even look right in IE. Oh well, I guess that just gives everyone an excuse to switch, since Everyone visits my site regularly… In case you actually still use IE, and are wondering what you are missing, it’s nothing huge, just a floating menu that I think is crazy cool.

mod_musicindex
This is officially the coolest web server plugin ever. No really, it is.
We are taking all of our tape archives from the library, and converting them to digital format. While this is cool, and we can just set up your basic ftp server, I wanted something better. Enter mod_musicindex. It allows you to stream files, download them, stream them in shuffle mode, and search them. When you’re dealing with 7,000 mp3s, that can be a little slow (around 45 seconds), but it still works.
