clipper's remarks: I'm sure you've heard of this by now... but have you heard it yet?

I've been listening to the FLAC version since Monday. &All I could possibly say is wow! . . . no *uberWow*.

'theslip' is nine inch nails latest album. But unlike 'Ghost[1-4]' nin's last four digital albums, which Trent Reznor also released online. Where as Ghost gave you the option to pay; theslip is only available for free. Than with theslip you also get all of the cover art, inserts, &etc with the downloads.

Which after you download, you can do literally anything with. I'm already playing around w/remixing portions of track 7 & 9. They're my two personal faves, for the moment at least.

The last difference between Ghost &theslip is the where as Ghost[1-4] were only instrumentals/digital. theslip is just as lyrically intense as nin's previous halo albums.

So, as always, take a few minutes or hours, depending on your bandwidth, than, what else? enjoy yourself!

D(iscover) the R(eal) M(eaning) of 'free'

clipper's remarks: Just to make sure I haven't confused anyone no there is no DRM on the music at opsound. &Yeah you're prolly thinking: okay this is prolly a bunch of hippy crap or looped-samples. Well you could prolly find it there, I haven't yet. Instead its inspired my current, &now entire, music collection. As an open source artist where I express my art using code, distributed as software, &completely truly for free. I've always felt this was the best model of distributing art, of all forms. Before there was Beatnik Turtle, Geoff Smith, or Jonathan Coulton(all of whom I love). But first there was opsound the 'free' record label. My fave feature: their feeds. Genres, artists, newest songs, &more they offer feeds for them all. So go browse their online store, find some new music, have way to much fun, &support them &their artists. Tell your friends; send opsound &their artists emails; see want free media can really be; &most importantly enjoy yourself. Oh... &you can donate too, *wink*

MySQL's backup solution?

clipper's remarks: MySQL + Sun + Zmanda === Open Source or the destruction of community.

Is this the final step of MySQL becoming proprietary? Can Sun turn the project back to OSS &our community. Or is this the first step toward a community fork of MySQL?

Post-It Note

One Last Thing

So, your crush on the bass player from Vibrating Sandbox has finally died a whimpering death and you're wondering where to go from here. All the sinister dudes are either dating a series of interchangeable high-school riot girls in baby doll dresses and an overdose of manic panic, or permanently shacked up with some bitter old lady who pays all the bills. Which will it be, a wifely prison or a humiliating one night stand? Into this void of potential mates comes a man you may not have considered before, a man of substance, quietude and stability, a cerebral creature with a culture all his own. In short, a geek.
