  • rpm: we do not have liftoff

    so doing this project this month, this year, was a no-go. i got one track finished and a bass loop for another track that was 2/3 done (would’ve needed another loop i think, and then just put together) and 2 other half-finished tracks and that’s about as far as i got. also included in this…

  • rpm update

    one song down. updated (finished) version of North Korea called North Korea II (of all things). added some jello biafra samples and synth to the original track. it was intended to have a sax solo with it, but sax is sort of out of the question (unfortunately) for this project since a lot of what…

  • back in the saddle

    i didn’t post yesterday, but the follow up is:i moved the home folder to my other partition, which i cleared, and reinstalled. everything is working now. a lot of stuff i had before was still there, and a lot isn’t. i spent much of yesterday’s at home time running various installs and updates and more…

  • glimmer of hope?

    was talking with my friend at work who also uses ubuntu who had the following things to add: i should be able to mount my root filesystem as root while booted off the live cd. he has a SB Live card as well as onboard sound and has never had issues, however, he disables the…

  • insert explitives, bitterness, and tremendous over-exaggeration

    this post was going to be titled “hello square one” because after getting the soundblaster live! card to work in linux for all of about 5 minutes, i rebooted to play some Guild Wars and when it came back, it didn’t work anymore. that has changed, however, since i am not even reaching square one.…

  • boo-frakking-yah

    after several desktop crashes, partial loads, reboots, frustration, an ingenious apt-get install that i didn’t expect to work and then finally finding the driver on sourceforge but not actually installing and going to the creative labs website looking for a linux driver that, of course, doesn’t exist, i somehow, mysteriously got my transplanted soundblaster live!…

  • starting thoughts

    so after a few hours twiddling, it becomes increasingly evident that i should pull my sound blaster live card out of my other

  • rpmchallenge

    so it’s been a long time since i posted here. i could say that i’ve been busy, but really, that’s a lie; i haven’t been any busier than usual. the trip to seattle and post-christmas stuff was stressful and, yes, it did take a while for the gavinator to get back on track, especially since…

  • playlists

    so with the holidays comes holiday spirit and this is enforced/enhanced by holiday music. to add to your holiday cheer, i’ve created a couple holiday playlists. one is an xmas playlist i’ve been working on for a while. i just further enhanced it by adding some jpop and south park. today i just made a…

  • amarok rocks my world. cedega, not so much.

    i like amaroK. i think cedega is overrated. [more=there’s a lot more posted behind this link, but it’s kinda geeky, so be forewarned…there’s pretty screenshots tho.] the good: amaroK amaroK is a multimedia player (altho, thus far i’ve only used it for music). it works much the same way my ampache-powered page does. you create…
