I had posted a review to Musicians Friend but they appear to not have chose it as worthy to place on their site so I will try to reproduce it here although with different wording.I purchased my Epiphone Les Paul Special (probably a "Special II") in about 1999. I stopped playing while in college and just this last summer, of 2007, I started to play again. I was pretty unhappy with my sound so I

I just saw the Lamb of God concert tonight (March 11th) and it was pretty awesome. The biggest surprise - Gojira was fucking awesome. I had only heard one of their songs before hand 'Gojira - Ocean Planet' which they played live. It was amazing, all their songs were quite good, and the energy they played with was intense. Each song was incredibly unique, timing changes all over the place;

"A software distribution is meaningless if it does not include all of the software that the target userbase expects to use." That quote is quite interesting. I'll get back to it in a second.Here is the post in question.This review written by Jem Matzan is more of what I would classify as a rant. Hell, I don't even know how it showed up so high on the Google search. But it did, so now I guess

It appears as though the RSS feed functionality is broken...at least not working as previously configured. I switched over to the new blogger and now the RSS feed hasn't been updated with recent posts.Anyways, I have taken the dive: both of my machines are running linux now. (The third, an Sparc64 based Sun Ultra 60 is running Solaris and the CD drive died so I have no means to install anything

I was doing some reading on the American Revolution and that led to further reading in relation to the rights of citizens. I ended up finding this site which presents some interesting finds. Violent crimes appear to be converging in the USA and England. Apparently their desire to curb violent crimes through gun control isn't working. Also it is interesting that their desires to start

I was thinking today that it would be nice to listen to the Metallica show from Omaha Nebraska, but a search on my work computer was fruitless. I went to the website and noticed that Metallica had sung a new song at Seoul recently so I downloaded the 'album.' Overall the show is pretty good. It is similar to the Omaha one that I attended but in a good way. Metallica can still rock hard. As

Recently I re-acquired my AMD 1900+ XP of yesteryear. It had been away for close to two years, but now is back. I installed FC6 and bricked it after doing a hard shutdown when I noticed the temps rising because I forgot to plug in the CPU fan after cleaning the dust off the heatsink. An install later and hear I am. May that be my vote of recommendation to setting up lm_sensors and the gnome

Setting up an externally viewable mysql database server is relatively easy. I used Solaris 10/sparc64 as the mysql server and WindowsXP/jdk1.5.0 as the client. It's running something ancient, like: Last login: Wed Oct 25 18:51:39 2006 from 192.168.1.104 Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 s10_72 December 2004 $ mysql --version mysql Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15, for sun-solaris2.10 (sparc)

So, today i got linux working quite well with my rca lyra mp3 player. Rhythmbox can play music directly off my lyra (RD2762B), something Winamp can't do. This combined with how well Fedora Core 5 for amd64 is running is making me quite happy.It's an awesome development environment, for both the usual c/unix stuff, and java. Sun recently released java for amd64/linux. I have jdk1.5.0_06 working

OK,So I figured out that my Gigabyte KT400 Ultra based motherboard wasn't using the agp bus, but was using the pci bus. (it's PCI device id was 2 instead of 0.) So I figured while I was getting a new motherboard I might as well get one that is a 939 chipset, get a cheap AMD64 3200 for now, with the future upgrade path of a dual core processor. Though I still got an AGP chipset, since my card is

So today at work, about 3:30, my boss walks up with two sheets of paper, and says we've got a problem. He proceeds to show me a printing operation that takes about 45 seconds. So there I was, spending the next two hours frantically trying to figure out what the problem was, especially since we're trying to get a solid release out soon.So the point is, when debuggin for a performance issue, the

here's a quick update for no one; at least that is what i'd guess as to who reads this.life has been good, A.I. class has been alright, though the teacher really isn't that good at teaching stuff like edge detection (math stuff). Life in linux so far has been good. But I would really like a laptop (dell widescreen, w/ celeron) just to have on the side as a windows 'box' to use IE when necessary

well, life has been good. just started the artificial intelligence class at sdsu for the summer (the other sdsu). been using linux a lot here on this athlon 3200 w/ nvidia 6800 oc. linux on the desktop is definitely nice.hell, i hardly ever do admin type work. did install beep-media-player(bmp) which is the new xmms. supposedly it's just xmms plus gtk2, but don't believe em. bmp has better

THE TREND IS DEAD!!Ok, so i've been listening to what I consider to be the best fucking metal album ever: The Great Southern Trendkill. I also did some reading on amazon.com of the customer reviews, and some people just don't get it. All you really have to do, is listen to the album, feel the anger in you build up, and let it ferment beautifully. When you are done, you feel great.

I just read someone's thoughts on music, namely people that have supposed tastes for things like Jazz, Pop, Country, etc. Thoughts on how people switch to things like Jazz and Punk to be cool, to appear as though they have taste. Well here it is: FUCK'EM ALL. I like Country, Rock, and Metal. Not NuMetal, not Rap Metal, not fucked up thrash metal. I like Ozzy, Zep, Skynyrd, Chris Ledoux, BLS,

Woot!So here will sit some of the various thoughts of mine. Hope all is well. This spawned from an idea from me and a few friends to have a blog for each other to read. We'll see where it goes from there.Anyways, My first post will be on this: Firefox sucks. I have found many problems with it, but in my opinion it's lack of QA really shows. I have more crashes when running firefox than with
