Journal Journal: Music Intoxication

So... I actually went shopping for those CDs. Specifically, Dave Seaman's all 3 CDs under "Global Underground" (012, 016 and 022) and "Odyssey - The Remix Collection" by Delerium. That's about 9 hours of new music I listened to in a day.

Journal Journal: Musical XTC

I switched to another MP3 radio... again. While this one is at 160kbps, it's really, really good. It's XTC Radio London.

Journal Journal: Up to 8GB of RAM

Without this error, this would have been another boring day. Thank you, IBM, for that 64-bits goodness that is the PowerPC 970!

Journal Journal: Subversion Rules (CVS Sucks)

As I was really busy at work (so much for that "one post per week" rule), I realized how bad is CVS. It sucks. I hate it.

I'm not saying this for nothing: I know that out there, something is way better, while Free and Open Source. It's Tigris' Subversion.

The Matrix

Journal Journal: Seeking Thrills (huh?)

Saw "The Matrix: Reloaded" on Sunday. Missed the last 20 minutes 'cause the scene in the man's bathroom made me want to "take a leak" for the last hour or so. Like the first one, great design, terrible story.

Journal Journal: Out of the loop

So I'm supposed to be hyped up this week by E3 and The Matrix Reloaded, but I'm too tired to be hyped up.

There is a starting consensus that E3 was good, but without surprises. Predictable sequels (MGS3, GTA4, GT4, Doom3, all the same...), remakes (MGS1, FFT, Seiken Densetsu 1), and what's new is not terribly original. The next Sam & Max will be for PC (likelihood of a Mac port: ~50%), and I still think this game would be perfect for consoles.

Games

Journal Journal: Uplink Hacked

I tried playing the Uplink Demo for Mac OS X from introversion.co.uk, and it's pretty good. Only problem is that it's too easy to cheat in this game (at least the single player mode), once you have the right tools. I love the Mach-O kernel...

Journal Journal: One down, one to go...

One, one exam left, next Wednesday. And I'm done.

Actually, the following months will be boringly predictable. Strange, if we consider that I'm "free" of school from now on. Freedom my a**...

This week was strangely eerie. My sister was moving, my company was moving from downtown to the "Cité du Multimédia" (Montreal's Old Port), it's the end of school... Yes, Mozart's Requiem was the perfect music for this week.

Journal Journal: The Cost of an MP3 Radio

As Massinova is closing (!), I glanced at the last post of teknosys, the admin of the "root" server.

Let's say I have a shitload of cash and I want to host Massinova myself. 64kbps, 50 users average, 24/7. That's 1TB bandwidth usage per month, upstream.

One f***ing Tera byte per month. OK, so I'd really like to help, but damn...

Journal Journal: ScanSoft

I worked at SpeechWorks. I now work at ScanSoft, because ScanSoft bought SpeechWorks today. Here's the fun quote:

Journal Journal: Javelin: "It" or "Her"?

Hmm... The sleeve notes of "The Javelin" (again, you know), available only in its German release, REALLY HELPS understanding what the heck the lyrics are talking about.

Well, it still doesn't make that much sense. But hey, it's a start. Which helps when you've just lost all trace of inspiration.

Journal Journal: Wasteful

After working on assignments, projects and... work... for a week, I was just exhausted. So I spent the last two days doing nothing. OK, not really nothing, but close.

I played "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker", a bit too much actually.

The Matrix

Journal Journal: Last Class... Ever...

Just finished my last school class today. Last. For at least 3 years. Really. Wow.

I'll be really busy at work tomorrow, so I'm trying to get Mac OS X 10.2.5 and the Matrix trailer tonight.

Apart from that, it's the usual.
