Music of the day 22th of June (vinyl café edition)

My favorite English language radio-show is the Vinyl Café with Stuart McLean. It's a CBC radio show and the hosts travel around Canada (and now also US) having live shows, live music, stories sent in by listeners and also their own stories of course. I guess you could say it's …

Last Exam Day

Ever been there after your last exam? You've just started a new job and some time ahead into the job you need to take the plunge, make some big changes, upgrades, something you haven't done before or just something that has a big impact. Maybe it's the day you do …

Music of the Day 13th June (Uncut edition)

Another round of applauds please! Just got back from the holidays and grabbed a copy of Uncut - Bob Dylan's 70th Anniversary edition because I had just enough of moneys in that foreign currency to get rid of. CD kind of sucked though, bunch of happy birthday songs. The songs didn't …

Numbers in Finnish

Music of the Day 22nd of May

Dying is Fine - Ra Ra Riot - Sounds a lot like Morrissey occasionally, but not often enough for me to start hurling, so I liek. Beware of their main web site http://www.rarariot.com/ - you can get epilepsia for free there. Wild bass in the song Boy - check it out …

Server and Storage Tips from the ITRC

Just a good howto - tip - solution. It's a little hard to find good threads. Hard to find something.. should probably write it in here when I think of it. Also the ITRC are moving to another platform in June 2011 so maybe these won't be available after this. ** Update 2011-06-27 …

Goran Bregovic

Baeutiful! Goran Bregovic - Black Cat White Cat Gypsy music for the win! Other good stuff to check out: Katzenjammer and Gogol Bordello

Songs of the day 17th of May

From the front page of thesixtyone.com Just Pretend - Hayley Sales is soft and nice. I like the part when the bass is more pronounced with about 50s left. Train Song - Felix Fables - Folk Frenzy? Doesn't sound very folky to me. Maybe the background tunes and vocals are. Quite down …

What do I do?

Hard to tell.. but if you see this pretty cool 6min movie: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1430 you'll see that they mention a collider. This thing sends out lots of data from each collision. I administrate a system that gets a little bit (very little) of that …
