Journal Journal: I'm back.

OK. 4 or so years ago. I left the overcrowded confines of southern California. In dreams of moving to a small town for a simple life of living humbly within our means. Winnemucca proved to be a little off center. Its a mining town, the local economy is inflated from the high income of all the miners working here. We arrived right as the housing market was recovering and ended up with a house that was more then what we originally anticipated. It happens. The plan was for me to continue working

Comment Color screen? (Score 1) 199

Really? An ebook with a color screen just sounds soo useless. Color does not mean black and white, when reading long enough on a computer you start to see the rgb bleeding through off the white. I can't belive Asus is soo far off target with this.

the vinyl version will be 12" the time/program material dictates that pretty much. i'd have to do special singles edits to get one of them to fit on a 45rpm 7" heh. the "radio edits." lolz

Comment Re:Hell no. (Score 1) 1141

Code changes from year to year, and I doubt an electrical engineer is going to be up one specifics of what gauge wire is appropriate for a given number of electrical outlets to feed, or how far the circuit breaker must be from the gas line.

Who do you suppose writes those codes?

This is akin to saying "a bank manager would never be able to work as a loan officer because of the bank's constantly changing interest rates".

You do realize that electrical engineers do more than work with wires right..... My one electrical engineering professor teaches optics which while related to electrical engineers has nothing to do with wiring a freaking house.

Comment Avoiding malware and crapware (Score 4, Interesting) 270

I suspect that part of Apple's restrictive software distribution strategy is to avoid malware and crapware from creeping into the iPhone ecosystem. It's something like a walled garden or customs & border protection model for software distribution. Although I'm sure that enterprising criminals will find ways to break into the iPhone, Apple's approach does raise barriers to drive-by downloads, worms, trojans, and socially-engineered installations of malware.

Time will tell whether restricting software distribution for the iPhone is a net positive or negative in either creating a stable, easy-to-use, secure environment for mobile computing or in stifling development for a subset of developers.

Comment Re:Never made the jump over to Multiply... (Score 1) 5

awesome, yeah i'll have something setup soon about how to "reserve" a copy of the record. i haven't figured that part out yet, but i've gotten 2 or 3 other requests, so i figure i'll work something out. when i do i will make sure to post here.

yeah, i still really like it here in boston, things just didn't work out, too many issues. so we're just trying to figure out what to do next. i've been suffering from major depressive disorder for, well all my life, but for the past year or so its gotten much worse, and now with my diagnosis with asperger's syndrome, hasn't made things and life any easier. that's why all the focus on music. i need *something* to make the days easier to get through, and so far, this seems to help.
