It was more an "I am curious" than a "I'm actually trying to learn these songs"--I just had noticed the same thing (less than 6 digits) in the previous album's notes too, so I was curious.
Ok, that Third Hand Capo is cool. Clearly you want two so you can capo different strings at different frets. Or maybe three. Or four. |

I guess you pronounce "$3 bucks" as "three dollars bucks." |

Case in point: there is now a new sshd exploit, as of today. I did a "zero-hour" patch on my machine, and even remembered to schedule sshd to start up again so that when I did "killall sshd" (destroying my connections) I wouldn't be left with an unreachable machine! |

Oops, sorry. I recorded this album as fast as I could, so I almost didn't bother writing down the chords. I think that if there are just a few numbers, then that means that the rest of the strings should be xxxxx. Sometimes it might just be adjustments to the previous chord. If you care enough about a particular song I'd be glad to figure it out again and fix it up!
To do arbitrary partial capos, you need one of these:

Elderly instruments sells them for like $3 bucks, and I highly recommend them...
There are also "short" shubb-style capos that you can use to hit a few adjacent strings, but these are more versatile and also easier to play "on top of." |
| |
Do you have somewhere that explains how to decode your chord info? Mainly I'm confused what the less-than-six-digit numbers are. (And how do you make a partial capo on only the DGB strings?) |
| |
Indeed, VBR mp3 files screw up winamp's length estimation (and other players I've used). It was showing up as over 10 minutes on mine until I started playing. Perhaps it starts with a really low bitrate frame, so it assumes the rest of the file is encoded similarly.
|
| |
For some reason, Dance reports itself as one length (217 seconds in my winamp) but when you actually play through it, it turns out different--only 153 seconds long. (You've listed it as 227.) |
| |
Heh heh... I hadn't even thought of that interpretation. |

Why would you use Isabel when you have Twelf? |

The type industry was quick to react to the news. Brian Willson of
Three Island Press (www.3ip.com) said to the ITFI "I'm thrilled with
Judge Whyte's ruling. Sure, it only pertains to "font software
programs" -- but the fact that the ruling confirms the "creativity in
designing" these programs is, I hope, just a step away from
acknowledging the creativity that's intrinsic in the font designs
themselves." - http://www.allcompu.com/typejudg/judge.htm
"As the publishing industry well knows, font designs are not protected
in the U.S. The 1976 Copyright Act specifically excluded "mere
lettering" from its coverage, and an attempt to gain industrial-design
protection for fonts failed in the late 1980s. In January 1990,
Bitstream and Adobe did manage to convince the Registrar of Copyrights
that PostScript fonts should be treated as computer programs. They
demonstrated that despite the close similarity of letterforms, the
PostScript program that created the lettering was different—in other
words, that the font code could be a unique expression of a
font-design idea. More recently, however, the Copyright Office has
declined to register fonts created with Fontographer, apparently
because the program automates too much of the creation process, such
as hinting and kerning." -

That's true. It might be better if they didn't tell you what they were testing beforehand!
Although, I suppose, answering the questions truthfully or lying (either to pick the "man" answer or to avoid picking the "man" answer) could just be another indicator!
PS. Sorry Keith!! |

They got me right, but only 1 pixel to the left of dead center (is that pure androgyny?).
That test had a lot of really dumb questions. A bunch of them, I couldn't even answer. I wonder what happened with those, if it defaults to choosing one and doesn't tell me, or if it ignores those?
Also, the thing that makes the test in general kind of dumb is that, with every question that you get, you know there's just the supposedly female answer and the male answer. So it's hard to not be kind of thinking through it. I'm sure a psychologist would have a more sophisticated way of saying why that makes it a badly designed test, but I'm no psychologist... |

I answered the test truthfully. I also thought the middle name and pocket questions were ringers. And it was still wrong. With 86% certainty. Despite what TheSpark thinks, I'm not a woman. |

Yeah, I know it's old ass, but today was my first encounter. You're right, though, there are definitely some "ringers" buried between questions like, "So, does Canada suck or what?" |

That's an old ass test. It would be more impressive if it didn't ask things like "does your middle name end in a vowel?" or "do you carry things in your pockets?" |

I wish there were a way to play with 3 fat guys and a skinny guy, lining up the 3 fat guys in front of your goal and using the skinny guy as your agile offense. Oh well. |

It reminds me of the Velvet Underground song "The Gift"... but less gory.

For me to believe anyone has beat Xaero on Nightmare on the final arena would require a demo. I don't care if its 400 meg long i'd download it too see it with my own eyes :O
The closest I have been was something like 16-20

Update: http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Southwest/09/10/stowaway.flight.ap/index.html
It turns out, the cost for freight was $550, which would have easily bought a first class ticket!
So maybe I should have said instead: Cheap Shipping!!!! Ship your computer by buying it a first-class ticket!!! |
