In better days, he said, "you could sit out on your lawn chair until 4 a.m. drinking espresso, and no one would bother you." N has accused me (not unfairly) of thinking everything is bad. Luisa keeps list of things that are making her happy, and coincidently, she doesn't ...
Dubin insisted the other night that she does read my blog even though it never makes any sense. I used to offer at least a few more updates about my life as a whole, I think. The more time I spend with writers, the more I think about writing again. Really ...
It is a scary thing when a bunch of DIY punks start trying to find a million dollars, but here we are, looking for exactly that. Scary like daunting, like an uphill climb, like where on earth are we going to get money like that. The older I get (yeah, yeah) the more I realize the importance of no Rio not just as an arts space for the likes of me, but as an all ages punk venue. That doesn't exist in New York City anymore (did it ever? dunno.) -- a place were 16 year olds can get together and make music, see shows, be both safe and unsupervised. I think that is immeasurably important and it is a tiny slice of what happens at ABC no Rio. So I think everyone should join me in supporting the building fund.
There is so much fun stuff in my inbox today. This one is from my friend Aaron at Western Organization of Resource Councils sounds like it'd be a cool job for someone in South Dakota:
For the first time in a decade, the FCC is opening up an application window to distribute much of the remaining Full Power FM spectrum to non-profit groups, but Free 103 is thinking about applying for a license, which is truly exciting stuff: In October, the Federal Communications Commission ...
Having thoroughly fouled up a repository in the process of trying to upgrade Wordpress, I'm returning to the original project: nest my SVN repositories. I suspect that it is going to be easier than I originally thought. Starting with a broken repository, it goes like this: Confirm that shit be ...
I use grep a lot to backtrace through the layers of includes that make up the site I manage, and since I've now got that site halfway into version control, I'm finding that I'm a wee bit frustrated because grep -r recurses through every directory, including the .svn ...
I've commented before about the regex searching in Quanta (the feature list promises this, the help files say that you ought to rethink how badly you need to do it and then offer no further assistance ...) Now I'm needing more love and not getting it. Sight. Quanta is still the best ...
I'm trying to navigate a little logistical puzzle. I've got a website in Subversion. That is a good thing. But the website has a couple of blogs, which means I've got a few copies of Wordpress (no wp multisite yet, not sure that is the path I want to take ...
Now, with updates! Stillwell, for the uninitiated, is my new computer. A Dell with an unfancy screen (I wanted a fancy screen. I won't deny it.) and 100G hard drive. I'm settling in okay and ready to upgrade ole Brahms to Feisty Fawn. Thankfully, a search for "codecs" in my very own archives got me to a rundown of how to install the bundles I need to listen to WNYC at work (note to self: get a DC adapter for your radio already. Streaming radio is silly when you've got an actual Aiwa with its very own antenna sitting right there. A few things are still making me batty about Stillwell, or Fiesty Fawn or computers in general, though:
