  • the suprising relationship between pirating and purchasing

    i found this snippet on slashdot today, which says that p2p downloaders (read: music pirates) buy more music according to a study commissioned by the Canadian government (more and more i’m thinking that, despite popular american opinion, canadians RAWK). now this is something i’ve known for years, because it’s precisely the case for me. with…

  • holy google apps, batman!

    so i was checking my gmail yesterday, i think looking to see if i could route my heritage mail to gmail, or something like that, maybe i was just killing time, when i noticed a thing that said something to the effect of add you domain email here. so, i decided to check that out…

  • jazzsequence subdomains and revised error pages

    so i configured some (more) virtual hosts in apache and redid my custom error pages.  the error pages got reset after apache got updated recently, so i had to redo them.  you can see a 403 forbidden error here and a 404 not found error here. and i also set up the following subdomains: music.jazzsequence.com…

  • music in the digital revolution / web design project / virtual hosts / wish lists

    at the bottom of my site you will see a new flash widget thing.  it’s a promo for the new Saul Williams album which was done with Trent Reznor and is supposedly the next chapter in the Year Zero saga.  or at least supplementary material.  Trent said a couple weeks ago on his blog that…

  • another reason the dmv is the ninth circle of hell

    ok, so this would have been better with the visual, but, as it turns out, while i wasn’t looking (read: while it’s been sitting on the desk, not plugged in, acting as a malformed and warped shelf for junk), my scanner up and died.  dead, no pulse, doa, unliving, dead dead dead.  so.  you’ll have…

  • msff

    i’ve added a couple hacks to the site to dissuade viewers from using internet explorer, including a javascript-powered microsoft-free weekend.  back in the early 00’s, microsoft-free friday was a thing.  this was around when firefox was just starting to gain momentum.  there were a couple of ways of implementing msff — one was an apache…

  • it is done…

    i’m not going to publish the link yet until the client officially approves the site, but my first website for heritage is done. i was able to do most of it over the weekend and on my half day friday, overall spending maybe 8-10 hours working on it total. i was happy to find out…

  • first site…

    so the way it works is that i create a photoshop document (psd) of the web site i’ve been assigned to based on the content given to me and a “design interview” (di) with the customer.  the psd is basically what the site will eventually look like when all the html and css coding is…

  • Windows Vista, oh how I loathe thee

    so i took the freelance graphic design job. so t hen i was like “oh crap, i need to install graphic/web design stuff on my computer now” which i didn’t have because i had reformatted in the recent past. thus began my weekend-long frustration with my computer.i have a modded windows 2003 server os installed…

  • server uploading issues — resolved?

    with very little help from me, the upload issues i was having seem to have resolved themselves.  i blame comcast completely, but i don’t care so long as it works.  now you can go here and download my nin YZ remix without it being cut off.  also, the ampache page is using the latest development…
