If you ever had a doubt that Neil is the coolest author since forever well this post should dispel any doubts.

up up and away.

So today my gam_server went memory crazy. It is a daemon that notfies applications about file changes. At one point it was using 40% of my gig of memory. I killed it and it came right back and was using 22% a short while later.

Luckily the newest version(0.17) is in dapper drake and is supposed to fix a few of the memory leaks that are in 0.15 that is in breezy. There are no special dependencies on dapper so dpkg installs it just fine on breezy.

I installed gamin and libgamin0(download then dpkg -i filename ...

Certainly, Sir played at TT's last Saturday. I first heard about them through last week's Boston Phoenix. The idea of a Boston area band with Japanese only releases who also had Ben Gibbard's guest vocals on their recently released album TAN!

They were also ...

Rocketboom for today is absolutely hilarious. One of the best episodes in recent memory. You must watch.

Arrested Development is not going to be aired for the rest of the month! This season has been reduced to 13 episodes. So the show will most likely be cancled. This totally sucks! One of the best shows on TV and Fox goes and cancles it. Damn you Fox! Stealing one of best things to happen to the 1/2 hour comedy ever.

The Waltham Mills Artist Association had an open house this past weekend. I heard about it through DriveTime the weekly video blog from Ravi and Sonia.

The WMAA is two buildings in an old mill complex that have been renovated into studios for artists. I was able to walk around and visit many different artists and see what they did and look at displays of their work.

I was able to chat with John Carrera, who was featured on DriveTime, about his almost completed Pictorial Webster's.

When I was there I happened to run into Ravi and Sonia. They ...

Ben Folds played at the Orpheum on Saturday along with the Fray and Christine Baze as part of the Yellow Umbrella Tour. The opening acts were very good and helped to raise the anticipation for Ben.

Ben totally rocked. It was the best show of his that I have ever seen. He played some of my favorite songs, "Brick" "The Luckiest" "Bitches Ain't Shit" "Zak and Sara" "Still Fighting It" "Bastard" "Landed". He performed "Jesusland" and then decided that the original version wouldn't be very radio friendly. So he played the radio friendly version of "Jesusland". Ben also ...

Last.fm makes it very easy to find out how I listen to music. By looking at my weekly charts you can easily tell that I listened to alot more music on my computer earlier this year when I was still in college. Since then I have spent alot less face time in front of my computer at home. I still listen to music fairly often at work but usually use my iRiver which last.fm has no way to track.

It also become apparent that I listen to artists about the same amount. No one artist gets most favored ...

Today I found a gem. A few dusty copies of my radio show Elektrodelic Symphony. It is now going to be resurrected as a podcast, cause that is the hip thing to do.

Part one from October 26th. The episode in which I have an off the air call in request. I also call the show Elektrodelic Synthpop all throughout and talk really fast. Maybe it was the lack of sleep and being up at 3am. Of course like any good WMTU DJ, I keep my on air time to a scant few seconds. The audio is a little bit ...

Last November, I saw Stephen Lynch in concert. Tonight I saw him in concert again. He played at the Orpheum theater in Boston. It was my first time ever in the Orpheum. Man that theater is old. The seats do get a little uncomfortable after more then an ...

The week goes on... and I am listening to the new album by Harvey Danger titled "Little by Little." Even cooler you can listen to the whole album free as it was released via bittorrent. Of course you can go the old school route and buy it. Give it a listen, you don't have anything to loose.

On other notes. I am not that much more nearsighted then I was two years ago, which is cool, so I can use my free pair of glasses to get a pair of sunglasses. Serenity is a very good flick, it was ...
