Activity Does Not Equal Accomplisment

I try to stay away from cliché’s but today’s events prompted me to remember this, I wish others would practice this. Why do people think they can snow you with a flurry of nothingness at the end! Had they did their job from the start this attempted snow job would not be necessary!

Monday Down and Out

Had my ears just totally plugged probably from a combination of swimming and allergies. Had a radiating pain coming out both ear canals! Had them give me some prescription Saturday but that made me drowsy had no affect on the condition and unable to do much Sunday. Today went back to the doctor and what they gave me finally started to kick in late> I also did not work but just rested. I didn’t even feel like reading as I normally do when feeling like this.
I think I need out of Sactown with all the allergens and plus just need to roll anyway!

Olympic Closing Ceremonies

I did some opening Olympic Ceremonies pictures and here are some from the closing ceremonies. I think the openning pictures were classic and historic, while the closing ceremony pictures pose more of a modern theme.

Warm Night

We are back tickling the 100 degrees mark for the day and its a nice warm night with a slight breeze, the kind I enjoy.
I’m going to go back outside on the patio watch the pool lights change colors and enjoy the night with some chilled gin and/or gin martini.

Incompetent Weak Minded People

Why do people who are incompetent and weak minded think that others are afflicted with the same issues and feel others will respond as they will? They try pop psychology and are so far off based its laughable! They never just can do their job better and elevate their work but try to bring you to their level or distract. DAMNED I hate incompetents!!
They also think that just because you are not bitching moaning or complaining that you have it easy. S#$T anyone can make something look difficult true talent and preparation makes things look easy.
Just like people who think that just because you can use Excel or Word you can program or work in IT! They never consider what makes things tick even making the mouse move takes a book of instructions if printed out but people in this category don’t realize this.
Peace! Just a need to preach again!!! 🙂
Oh this is concerning a side venture, in case you are wondering 😉

More Testing Streaming Audio

Well I did some more testing of streaming audio from my music server and updating my website. I now have broadband 128k and low band 32kb audio streams and will update my website with the links this week some time. Yes you with modems will soon be able to listen to my streamed audio/radio station.
I am also looking to update the website with a list of songs that have played the past 24 hours or some portion of that. I would like a file that does some circular logging. I actually have a few ideas since my website resides on a Linux system. One issue is that my music server is a totally different system and on a Windows platform. Right now I have a method to update my web server about what my music server is currently playing. My web server displays my music servers currently playing songs and provides a link to the music I’m streaming to the internet.
I am also looking into a way to stream to multiple audio/media players so that multiple platforms can listen in on the tunes. I have found a method to listen via Winamp and other media players but will try and automate the process so it will be a click away. I actually found a way to listen in Linux and UNIX but need to automate that for users.
I have so much else going on I rarely have time to work on the music server or web server! I haven’t even talked about updating the blog software and adding more functionality there, plus adding another blog for music! Remember I am not on a hosted Blog site I run my own blog server software!
All this is run from my little old computer/audio room, which reminds me that I am also investigating and have found some different ways to have live microphone and other type inputs over the internet in my audio string as well!
I do this for fun and the learning experience of what you must know to do these things technically. This is why I host as much as possible all my servers within the walls of my house and maintain it all
Well we will see how this all goes so much going on and so much to do!!

Manic Sunday, Black Eyed Peas & Greens

After staying up till 4am watching the Olympics got up at 9am and started doing things around the house.
Went over my parents and showed my pressure washed concrete for my dad or tried everyone had to take a turn and left with my dad to play with later.
He made some tasty black eyed peas, greens (collard, mustard & turnip with okra), crackled cornbread, and potato salad and neck bones. Damned that was good!!! I know where I’m going for lunch and dinner this week!
Then had to come back and battle the worms going around the internet in the computer world. I updated viruses and patches for my windows systems. I also closed up some ports I had opened in my routers.
I had a new system I brought online that I had not uncharacteristically had not updated any patches on or placed virus software on, usually the first application I install on a windows system! Oh well getting it taken care of!
