HELL | VOIID ⌘ https://voiidtheband.bandcamp.com/track/hell

Don’t Be Afraid is a fantastic album, & it’s not hurt by the fact that every track other than Ozar Midrashim & The White Roses sounds the same – instead this is thematically appropriate.

I mean, ‘quietly’ is a bit misleading since this has been in the news every few years for more than a decade, but you all might need a reminder: https://qz.com/1002927/computer-printers-have-been-quietly-embedding-tracking-codes-in-documents-for-decades/

Folks, journalists don’t even get to write their own headlines. If I get one more person telling me it’s hypocritical to write an article criticizing tracking on a site that has cookies, I’m gonna blow. Purity is shitty praxis: if you want to stop tracking, you need to complain on a site with tracking.

Bad idea of the day: Instead of a greatest hits album, a greatest failures album: a collection of all the tracks that made the least money and got the least attention (despite never being intended as deep cuts)

For #NaNoGenMo I converted two of Stravinsky’s ballets to tone-poems by converting note frequencies to word frequencies. I dare somebody to do a dramatic reading of these; it’ll sound like an Underworld track: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky.md https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky_pg.md

Slate is complaining that the witches in Suspiria (2018) aren’t scary. Has the author seen Suspiria (1977)? It’s a wonderful film but the scariest thing about it is the sound track.

Band name of the day: tracks from the coast of hell

Idea for a room: It’s empty save for a number of mobile screens that follow you around and with a little bit of head tracking, act like windows into a completely different building.↵You could fit a cathedral in there, if so inclined, or maybe an Escherian maze.

do you ever get wistful about having a merely human body plan because you’re listening to a track you’d need a dozen, maybe a hundred legs for do it justice, just some proper undulation

Conspiracy theory: the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise is elaborate fanfiction for the Hawkwind track Sonic Attack, from the perspective of the antagonist. The VO in that track is Dr Robotnik.

Bad idea of the day: MC Eliza, who rephrases your diss track in the form of a question. “How does that make you feel? Tell me more. Perhaps in your fantasies my flow is basic.”

Bad idea of the day: use eye tracking to save power by blanking the parts of the display not within the light cone of the fovea

The train went off the rails a while ago but it hasn’t noticed. It’s somewhere in the mountains now, carving tracks into their sides.

We genetically modified the centipedes to have wheels for feet, then set them on model railway tracks.↵choo choo~

Around it, oaks grow in a circle, ever older as you walk along it, the oldest replaced by a sapling. A stele keeps track of its revolutions.

I didn’t even lose my train of thought. I missed it entirely. The platform was empty when I arrived. Currently wandering along the tracks.

The Hero
I am in love with the HTC Hero. I do not have one… yet, still, when thinking on a mobile device I would love to have, the Hero is what comes to mind. And what better song to keep my hopes alive than “Holding out for a Hero”, by Bonnie Tyler? So, here it goes!

Edited: Song removed. Did not wanted to get sued for hosting a sound track which copyright might forbid wide audience availability.

iPhone is near, Leopard not so
For many Apple fans (me included) that were anxiously waiting for both products, this is a good and slight bad news. Good news, iPhone is on track and it will be delivered as promised. Slight bad news, we will have to wait a bit longer for the Big Cat to come out.

Apple - Hot News – iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until custome … ⌘ Read more

A busy week
It has been a busy week. On Monday classes will start and, as you can imagine, a lot of things are left to the last moment on a Campus. It is also true that Murphy’s Law applies as well on that final week: if something is going to go wrong, it will certainly go wrong. If you are thinking Microsoft Exchange you are on the right track.

You see, when I installed Exchange 2003 I swear I installed the Enterprise version. Of course I did not; I guess Windows 2003 Enterprise Server got me confused. Running th … ⌘ Read more

Coming back: Happy Thanksgiving!
Howdy all! Finally coming back on track now. Kid still sick but getting better, pain on my back still there, but feeling hopeful on both fronts.

It is the evening before Thanksgiving and a long weekend is ahead. My parents are coming up to visit on Friday, so I guess it is going to be quite busy. I am back, logs shall flow, as they did before. I have a lot to talk about and I certainly need to come here to upload.

For my fellow Americans, enjoy Thanksgiving, b … ⌘ Read more
