"I write the code in english, and the comments in german"

that's at least three languages at once (including the programming language)
SHEESH ... some people are just operating on another level.

that's a geek's geek right there.
great video, thanks for posting

neat stuff you got there. N2F is hugely useful, and the swarm seems pretty fun too.

garageband on your old n' crappy mac is probably the most direct / easiest path to take. Also it's cheap. Like $80 cheap. And very easy to use. Find your self one of those cheapie M-audio keyboards and you're in business.

I certainly couldn't begin to compare the experience of Doobie Brothers tapes these days to anything approaching what they were like in high school. Back then, the very texture of the surrounding environment took on phantasmagorical shapes and subtle hues, anything was possible, and my dull little ...

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I'd love to find something an artist is thinking about releasing! Or something someone on the board wrote and recorded but is having trouble mixing. I'd love help mixing this project I've been working on for a while as described in this thread . If you're int...

I work in IT developing "ticket systems" (i.e. databases + webpages that hassle / nag everyone else about doing their jobs). I've done it something like 15 years now. As you can imagine, this is not the most beloved position in the company ... every last person hates you. If it's a guy low on the to...

I'm bored at work, is all. What's everyone else's excuse.

avoiding work, LOL

as a public service to the humor deficient, I'd like to point out the irony of arguing about the usefulness of the internet ... on the internet.

BAM!
you're welcome.

And therein lies the problem with the artist, it's about the fans, not about the artist. The artist craves recognition, but is unlikely to give any in return. It's just the artistic nature, which is why social networking works against the artistic desire. IF the artist could passively network and n...

*cough* Can you Facebook fans playlist Facebook bands and do the bands get paid for the streams? *cough* Maybe I'm woefully ignorant, but does an "artist gets paid when some random donkey on a social networking site plays his mp3" arrangement exist anywhere? . Pandora, I guess ... but it's not real...

Cool! I didn't know about the URL thing. That's a huge improvement. And, the lack of customization features is a pretty obvious benefit to users. In my opinion, customized profiles were another huge contributor to the downfall of MySpace. It slowed everything down DRAMATICALLY. No band or artist EVE...

What does the Facebook artist page not offer that those other services do? FB can host your audio/video/pics. Granted, it's been about 6 months or so since I really gave the facebook band page thing a ago, so it may have improved. I found the interface, and most of all, the lack of a publicly acces...

All the social networking stuff moved to facebook, but facebook's band page capability is complete poo. What I've found to be a really good (completely free) alternative is to use Blogger to host my page, use dropbox to host my audio files & images, and the facebook plugin to handle comments, likes ...

I LOL'd at the use of the term "mike" (after all the brouhaha here and in the magazine's letters section about it). Guess the post don't like "mic"

This documentary is great! I think doing that "job"would be so much fun. My favortie part might be Caglar Juan Singletary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELHOaz1kghQ&feature=grec_index Non-Violent Taekwondo Troopers FTW! Also Annie Oakley was "rifle-nice". LOL ... great stuff ... so much heart (wei...
