Well, I stole this line from Don Crowdis… but, I’ve been embroiled in a 3.5 week Odyssey at work… hopefully it’ll wind down. During that time I’ve managed to neglect some things (no, not personal hygiene), but hopefully I can get some of them back on track. I did fix a database issue with SoundtrackNet [...]

While I wrote a MetBlog post this morning detailing a noise ordinance being passed to limit protests in D.C., I see this from one of of the organizations I support, the EFF, noting Archive.org’s run in with the U.S. Government over National Security Letters (NSL). I find this a little scary, and close to home [...]

Just in case anybody is following this blog, we’ll be at Pizza Paradiso (Georgetown) at 5pm tonight for happy hour, and then struggle to find a good bar to watch the Penguins playoff game tonight.

So… as you know, besides the day job, and doing SoundtrackNet stuff (yes, I have a queue of things I’m going to be trudging through for the rest of the night now)… I’m also doing some website hosting under the guise of SoundtrackNet. One of them happens to be Ryan Keaveney’s “Music for a Darkened [...]

Well, I think I may have fractured my fifth metatarsal in my left foot skiing the other day. Now, it wasn’t from impact per se.. but I had new boots and pushed myself a bit. Now I’m walking around with sharp pain in the outside of my left foot  depending on how aI bend and twist the [...]

…when your skillz may be more l33t than theirs?!
I scored probably the easiest $200 I made in my life… even easier than the $20 bet with Shawn over the ALCS in 2004…
Simple task… set up an AD controller from scratch… 2 hours later, tested… it worked…
Probably would have been quicker if I hadn’t screwed up [...]

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 [...]

Wow, at 3am this morning, I finally have artwork applied to all my iTunes songs. I completed the “pop” stuff last year and have been adding it as I import CDs. The Soundtrack side, that was a chore. I took the opportunity to try to add current and correct meta data (composers, film release [...]

No, it’s not a new film… it’s my 366th film digitized from my collection of DVDs… I have also killed off most of my TV series… so, in a count of shows and films, I think I’m half way there…

Some will require re-digitizing (due to getting the wrong language and sub-titles track on foreign films), [...]

So… what does one do when one doesn’t WANT to do anything?

Today, I slept late. It was necessary, I think, because of the multiple 12 hour work days I’ve piled on this week. Mind you, this wasn’t planned, nor wanted. It just happened, and I don’t want it to be a regular occurrence, although, it’s [...]
