It's not that I dislike you. Wait a minute. It is.

Well, that was short-lived

Well, the mix seems to be missing. I'm going to guess Mike deleted them because I was sucking teh bandwidth. So if you wanna hear the tunes, you gotta come to the frikkin party!!!!

TOMORROW NIGHT!

I'm stoked.

And after that teaser tracklist....

Here's an actual mix, with a link and everything.

Ogg Vorbis Format, for compression nerds
128 kbps MP3 to play on your iPod

I suck technically (still a newb) but the tracks are good.

I am a DJ, I am what I play

I have a DJ gig this weekend! On June 25th, 2005, I play the closer set at Phaze I, a rave party out near Duncan. As a result, I've been practicing on the decks a bunch lately, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Here's a link to the flyer and the infoline is 250.619.6007 (day of only).

I'm guessing my set will be pretty similar to the one I just recorded. I'm not going to post the location of the mix because it kinda sucks (a bunch of technical fuckups...) but I'm pretty proud of it. Clocks in at 80 minutes and read more for a tracklisting.

Let's get some of this cleared up here

Alright slashdot geeks, let's talk.

Yesterday I saw this CNet article that looked like a lot of unsubstantiated rumour (though other news sources seem to be confirming this, as I saw on the front page of Google news Canada today) about Apple moving to Intel chips from IBM given how the G5 doesn't seem ready at all for laptop use.

And all the slashdotters, in true slashdot infinite-wisdom type stuff, decided that this means "OMG I CAN RUN OSX ON A PC."

This is not true.

Intel != x86, kids. True, they invented the instruction set, true they are the leading producer of the chips, but false if you assume that this is all they produce.

Nowhere does it say with any validity (there's some speculation in the article but it's as erroneous and misdirected as the /. posts) that Apple has any desire to move itself from the PPC chips. In fact, Apple would outright shoot itself in the foot if they did that. Why would anybody buy a $2500 Apple when they can get a comparable $1600 Athlon machine if they could just run OSX on the latter? Make no bones about it, even though OSX is a slick operating system, Apple is a HARDWARE company.

No, we're not seeing an x86 port. Intel is a processor company and they make plenty of chips that are not x86. If anything, this is just the same thing Apple did when they said "Screw you hippie" to Motorola and got IBM to build up the G5 for them.

Repeat after me:
This doesn't mean Apple will port to x86, simply that they're getting a company best known for making x86 chips to build their next generation of processors.

No more, no less.

Heheh. Thai Fighters.

Search your peelings, Cuke.

Originally I saw posted on pod6, fnk, but it was an e-mail from Ian that coerced me to check it out.

Yeah, it's propoganda, but it's good propoganda, and teh funneh. So enjoy.

find_player("ebbomega")->move("Vancouver");

I've already posted about this on FNK and pod6. Nothing official yet on my part, except that my department is moving to Surrey. I'm going to try to move with it... see if I can re-join the North Burnaby Massive or something.

Good news for me, who kind of has been itching to get off this island for a while now... There was that lull period from about June-October last year where I was beyond happy to be living in Duncan, though when I moved to Nanaimo that all changed.

Timmeh!

And to counteract the LJ-suck

Well, in the great Hard Drive burgulary (good luck learning linux, fucking cokeheads), I lost a bunch of images. So here I present one of the ones I had the foresight to host for some reason or another:

Probably some kind of hunting lodge for Rich Weirdos

The Rich Weirdos was Vancouver's monthly Rocky Horror Picture Show cast from May of 2000 to New Year's, 2001. I was a member of the cast, and was thrown in at our first show as a Brad.

Sadly, I had no bow tie, so one of the members of the Portland cast (Dr. Scott in the back) showed me a cheap Brad-trick: Folding an American $1 bill as a bowtie, and attaching it to your neck using spirit gum (note how the bowtie isn't attached to the shirt... beheheheh). So I made do.

It was a fun show. But eventually when Louie (Riff-Raff) went to New York for the summer to work at a music summer camp (He later would show us videos of him and his Devo cover band from the camp) I got to take over as Riff for the summer. After Louie came back, he did a couple of shows as Riff but later showed a keane desire to play the Criminologist (Just so we could slowly strip away his clothes as the night wore on, so it appeared at the end all he was wearing was the book), so I took over Riff duties.

After we were kicked out of the Varsity theatre in Kitts for lack of attendance we had three crazy sellout shows: One at the Plaza theatre on Cambie, and two Hallowe'en engagements at the Vogue downtown Vancouver. I didn't participate in the first Vogue show (it was actually our second, but I wasn't in the first one either.... I had school until 9:30pm and the Vogue shows were at 9, and the first one was while we were still performing at the Varsity) but I was there as an audience member. Then I reluctantly accepted the role of Riff in the last Vogue show we did (and as of today, the last ever Rocky Horror Picture Show performed by the Rich Weirdos of Vancouver) in 2002, with the stipulation that I get to at least have some part of the MCing of the event. I got to read the rules. It was totally awesome. I got the entire audience shouting back the rule numbers at me, yelling at me "FUCK THE RULES" and so on and so forth....

If you've never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show, you really don't know what you're missing. Next Hallowe'en, find out where one in your area is playing. Yes, there will be one.

A vent. Because I feel like I've got nothing better to do to stimulate my brain.

Warning. The following is a livejournal entry. I'm entirely attention whoring. If you don't feel like listening to me ramble about why I feel like I'm not having such a great day, don't fucking click the link. Don't. You'll regret it. Okay. Maybe not entirely. But I'm having a dayful of head-meef right now and I have no justification for it. So I'm making a whiny blog entry. I don't know why. Maybe because I think it'll cheer me up. Or whatever. But don't read this goddamn article if you're like me and can stand about 3 lj entries when friends tell you to check it out before you find yourself skipping through them and maybe adding a comment somewhere you find it pertinent. Well, I've disabled comments (Still need to have that Human-Interaction plugin installed, damnit) so you can't even do that. So that makes this an even more benign entry.

If, however, you like the way I write things or think of me an interesting person and want to better understand my twisted mind and the way in which it works, feel free to click and either feel sympathy for me or think I'm a whiny brat that needs to stfu. Entirely up to you. Frankly, I don't care. It's just a really slow day at work and I'm bored.

There. Disclaimer made. You've been warned. Click if you want.

Kylie gets surgery!

Once again from google news.

The other headlines I came across was stuff like "it hasn't spread!"

Since I consider the internet to be one of my (many) religions, I suppose this is my form of prayer.

She still has awesome music to make! So here are my thoughts and prayers.

Kylie Minogue has Breast Cancer, yet Britney Spears is allowed to breed.

No fucking justice in this world

Got it from Google News Canada

Well, I'm one quiet voice in a sea of billions, but for what it's worth, Kylie, I love your music and hope you pull through.
