Let's clean up our own back yard.

WTF??!!!! This place is right off the coast of Florida, and we could BUY it for like 1500 bucks. Instead of making up a bullshit war that all of us will be paying for in the decades to come, how about everybody in America who can afford it chips in 2 bucks and we end poverty in Haiti?. Hell, I'll go 20.

Great, now I'm probably going to have CIA d00dz on my porch in the morning.

I'm back

Completely recovered from my hard drive crash. I had a back up, but it was a couple weeks old and I had some new photos on it, and it didn't included my music collection (most of which is mirrored at work), so I thought I would dig into the f'ed up drive and see what I could see. THANK YOU KNOPPIX! Knoppix has now saved my ass for the second time. Throw the Knoppix CD, boot, transfer your shit to a FAT32 (ntfs goes boom) drive (or in my case, 4 32GB FAT32 drives), then boogie on back to Windows and see what you have left. VERY easy, very nice.

So... I came up with a new backup strategy. This will work until I build my own backup server or finally realize that it make more sense just to buy one of those Buffalo goddamnits.

1) 80GB USB2 external drive - Holds music backup
2) 300GB USB2 external drive - Holds backup, and big files I'm considering moving to DVD (movies and shit)
3) 120GB USB2 external drive - Holds copy of the current backup and shit I can't figure out where else to put

Incremental backups occur weekly as a scheduled task (WHERE IS MY CRON?!?!?!!).

I'm fucking tired of spending a weekend fixing shit every time I lose a Seagate drive (yes, every major crash I have had has been a Seagate drive), so I am spreading files everywhere now.

She MUST have been a Judy

I am certain this woman is related to me. The Judy's having been fighting a losing battle against our bowels for generations.

Updates will be slow until I recover from yet ANOTHER crashed Seagate drive... Seagate... Just don't.

God Dammit

Knock it off already. We all know this is bullshit, how about we spend less time defending a lie and more time trying to figure out how we can make sure no more gramma's have to have dead grandkids?

I miss my kitty

I love iTunes

OK, I hate to admit it for a couple reasons. First, I am a big fan of try before you buy when it comes to music. My apologies to my musician friends, but here's how I usually roll...

1) I find your music for free and spend some time with it.
2) If I find myself listening to it fairly often, or at least not erasing it to gain disk space, I buy your shit.

I would rather not have to buy it first, and be stuck with it if it sucks... which it does sometimes. So I find a torrent and the rest is history.

Next, my main device is not an iPod. I had one, I wasn't impressed with the quality, so I bought a Zen. Yes, I still have a Shuffle for working out, but that's not the point. If I buy music, I should be able to put it on any player I want.

But you know what? There are times when you want to hear a song, and you want it now. Tonight I was watching a show on rouge waves, and they mentioned the Edmund Fitzgerald. I don't know why, but ever since I was a little kid the Gordon Lightfoot tribute to that ship has been a special song to me. Yes, the ghey is strong with this one.... Anyway, I have the TV open in one window on my display, and while I'm watching I open up iTunes and buy "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald". When the commercial kicked in on the History Channel, I clicked on the song I had just purchased. For a moment, I was that little boy who heard that song on the radio about the dying sailors (fellas it's been good to know ya') and spent years wondering WTF went on there. Was it as good as I remembered? Oh hell no. Was that experience worth 99 cents to me? You bet your ass it was.

BTW, ripping your iTunes songs to mp3 is easy as long as you don't upgrade to iTunes 7.0.2. Ask me how if you don't know.
