Another all time favourite.
Two guys.
Four months, three face-to-face meetups. Countless online chats.
One music album.
And now we have a band blog.
]]>Another all time favourite.
It's something we always kick ourselves after the fact. But when time is on our side, we never seem to do it.
At least, I don't.
So far, I've not crashed my computer (touch er, PLASTIC!)
Decided to do at least a half-yearly backup of my files to DVD. A backup of whatever that's on disk at that point in time.
A Digital Data Snapshot.
Half a year may seem like insufficient.
Probably is.
But it's a balance between spending money on storage (I have loads of DVDs, which I find relatively less expensive than buying secondary disks storage or USB drives... but maybe I'll change my mind later).
Anyway, mental note to self: Give myself at least 2 to 3 hours to do the backups.
'Cos it did take that long to archive the file, and burn to DVD.
What I did:
Ok, just did.
It worked.
Basically it's just a ZIP file.
Beautiful.
If any song can make a rocker cry, I suspect this will. Well, cry inwardly, at least. Ah heck, listen to the song.
I must have heard this almost two decades ago. Two decades! It still sounds as solid as when I first heard it. Slash's guitar riffs kicks @ss. It was one of those songs that made me want to learn how to play the electric guitar.
The man is the BEST. In my humble opinion.
Yay! Made progress from the last update, which was two months ago. I finally managed to clear most of the stuff on my desktop. Either blogged about them, or filed them to my del.icio.us account, or trashed them.
One of my favourite Joe Satriani composition. Many years ago, I even bought the tabs and tried to play.
Wife and I went shopping today. I've been thinking of getting a MP3 player + recorder for sometime now. Passed by a Creative retail store at Marina. Sales guy was a friendly, patient and honest chap. Answered my questions. Let me try out a player. So I ended up buying this baby -- the Creative Zen V-plus:
EXCEPT THAT THE SYNC SOFTWARE DOESN'T SUPPORT OS OTHER THAN WINDOWS! ARRGH!
*Sigh* I'm sure Creative would sell a lot more Zens if they support Macs and UMS music transfers. But not their fault . A less than perfect business decision, but not their fault nonetheless.
Let this be a reminder to me, never to buy on impulse. GRRR. I blame myself. Should've done my homework first. With verifiable information easily available on the Internet, I have absolutely no excuse.
]]>Still no significant progress after a month. Practically the same thing I wrote last month. It's not funny anymore. I think I'll have to just trash the posts that I'm probably never going to write anyway...
