So, you may wonder… what the hell am I doing with SoundtrackNet nowadays?
Well, Dan, would read this, and say, close to nothing…
Wife would say, close to everything…
Friends and co-workers… well, this is where you come in.
I’ve been spending the last month plus putting proper meta-data entries into my iTunes library in hopes of converting the [...]

This is the code I’m going to attempt to use to sort the files… it’s ’sh’, however, I may PERL-ize it.

exit
fi
echo “Sorting $1″

Well so much for Europe making headway in speeding up package delivery service. I, at one time, was in line to work for Boeing. It’s funny now to see this for Airbus… I like their planes (better designed than Boeing’s planes for the passengers, IMHO). But, if the EU conglomerate can’t get their collective act [...]

As if this would be an invitation to rip off our house… I went in to price supplies to redo our shower (tile, etc.) and stumbled over to the appliance section at Home Depot. I had been desiring a new dishwasher (why?) since we moved in. Our appliances are old (1989), and the lady who [...]
