Welcome Lowlife. Odd contributions are quite common here. jonahpwll seized power a few years ago. Please show him the samerespect that you've seen the other members giving him.

Since they were mentioned earlier, I thought I should mention here that the new Spiritualized album is on NPR First Listen this week.

Opportunity cost. The time to hunt down that elusive file (or your sanity) isn't worth the cost of the download. Tending bar vs. going to Pitchfork - same thing.
The problem with perceiving reality only presents itself if one believes th… -
Long story, the short version is that a few months ago I switched to a new laptop without Firewire, so my music library is still on the old laptop and the ext. Firewire drive with the music is in a drawer. All this time I've been playing stuff in Sp…

I've started a new thread. Long past time for this one to retire.

I guess it's similar to the metal bands sticking umlauts over random letters. Apparently they're going for Nordic rather than Teutonic.
Oh man, there's a Wikipedia article on M… -
I pay yearly. It's a lot cheaper that way. In this case the credit card info they had was expired. I was on a short vacation and as I try to avoid looking at email while I'm on vacation, I didn't see the notice in time.

Should be back up soon. There was a problem with the automatic payment for the hosting.

Bonnie Raitt - Slipstream on NPR First Listen
This is a good one. Best heard in a poorly-lit, smoke-filled room.
M. Ward is s… -
I liked Bear in Heaven too. I'll probably get to the Of Monsters and Men tomorrow.

M. Ward - A Wasteland Companion is up today.
Listening now, liking it so far.
Also albums by Bear in Heaven, Of Mo… -
Mati Zundel, 'Amazonico Gravitante'
Listening now, about 1/3 into it. Sounds good so far. It went up on the 18th. so don't wait … -
I modify MiG live as well. Of course I have backups. This may change once I get around to keeping the site's files in a Mercurial repo.

The app you want is Nowhere, Man.

i'm up on the pavement, they're all down in the cellar

So... Neoclassical is to Classical as Punk Rock is to Rock?

I'm planning to use a separate repo for the database and dump each table (excluding some) to a separate file which will be under VC control.
-
I'm thinking of using Mercurial or Git to manage the site's files. A cron job on the server would periodically push changes to a master, possibly on the same server. My local box would have a cron job to pull changes from the master (if the master i…

@Germanprof - Yes the backup is too large to mail, but the plugin's not smart enough to send me a mail to come download it or to break it into mailable chunks. I'm working on …

Well the old world's fading fast
The old world's fading fast
The old world may be dead
But I..have respect for the ancient world the arcane

Well the old world may be dead
The old world may be dead
I..say goodbye to the old world
The old world's history is long and elegant
But its time to say goodbye to the old world
See the 1920's apartment hous… -
Well the old world may be dead
Our parents can't understand
But I still love my parents
And I still love the old world
Oh, I had a New York girlfriend
And she couldn't understand how I could
Still love my parents … -
He didn't transfer the tapes that got eaten? such a pity. Drones should be great for that process.

Added Facebook Like button. I also threw in the Send button. There's a Facebook link in the popup box, but that one just shares to your stream.
One minor irritation. On the post's pages, Like is picking up … -
MiG Engineering Report:
Posts now have social media bookmarking links at the bottom. They will appear on the main page and on the individual post pages. At the moment posts on archive pages don't have the social media stuff. If folks thi… -
MiG Engineering Report:
Installed better search for MiG (Relevanssi). Relevanssi ranks the results by relevance. It can also provide "Did you mean" suggestions. I can modify the sea… -
Let's try a test. This image's actual size is 150x280. Try sizing to 75x140
Conclusions:
img=WxH doesn't work at all (no picture, just the url of the … -
Update from the Engineering Deck:
I fixed a missing image file that was getting 404 errors. It belongs to the jQuery calendar that Edit Flow is using. The blog sends me email for 404 errors. The only mail I want to get from the blog is …
