Kicking off monthly mixes!
July 27th, 2010
So I participated in the first month of a monthly mixtape exchange, and while it’s probably too much effort for me to actually burn, decorate, and mail out physical mixes, I really liked the concept of it. Each mix will have a theme associated with it, and while I’m starting it off as a monthly list, I’m hoping to make it bi-weekly or weekly if my schedule allows. I’d love for other people to leave mixes in the comments, or if you have any questions about the artists, feel free to ask!
Without further ado, my (late) mix for June is a “Summer Fun” Themed mix.
1) Seu Jorge – Rebel Rebel
2) Common – Be
3) Lily Allen – LDN
4) Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince – Charlie Mack (1st out the limo)
5) Travelling Wilburys – Last Night
6) Dead Prez – Happiness
7) Dispatch – The General
8 ) Cab Calloway – The Scat Song
9) Billy Joel – It’s Still Rock And Roll to me

Can’t get audio working in linux after quitting wine?
October 17th, 2009
I have been struggling to figure out why this happens almost every time I exit an application launched in Wine, and it’s so simple I could smack myself.
Without fail, I launch Wine, and my audio stops working in linux. Obnoxious, but not too bad. The real killer is that often after I quit whatever application I was running, my sound still doesn’t work.
…Turns out I hadn’t noticed pulseaudio was running when I started Wine, and not exiting when I quit. Since I use Alsa, it was causing problems (as it’s known to do) and a simple killall pulseaudio at the command line, and I was back in working order. Guess that’s what I get for skimming my running processes when I look for the problem.

Tag Mk 1
October 15th, 2009
Took a stab at designing a tag, this is the best of the lot so far. Not too happy with it, and I still gotta come up with some color ideas for it as well, but at least it’s a start.

October 14th, 2009
So far, in the battle between Drupal and Wordpress, Drupal is definitely winning out.
Installing them was about the same difficulty level (Create database and user, copy files into proper directory, go to page to set up user stats). Read more »
