I went to see EdTV last night. Not only was it an entertaining movie, it really made me think. Definantly one you want to see. I'll probably write a longer rant on it later, but not now.

The more music I listen to, the more I just come back to Massive Attack's CD, Blue Lines. It may be 8 years old, but that's just great music.

We had our second and third baseball games today. Well, five innings of the third, but it still counts. We played Mona Shores in a double-header. We lost both games, first 13-10, second 10-7, but we played a lot better. I went 1-4 in the first with a single and a run, and 1-2 in the second with a double and a walk. We still have tons of room for improvement (who doesn't), but we're looking a lot better.

The problem with Spring Break is it gives you just enough of a taste of summer that there's no way you want to go back to school. Oh well.

I just did some more work on the mp3 player. If the file has an embedded ID3 tag, the player now logs that info instead of the filename. Now I just have to put ID3 tags on all my files... fun, fun, fun...

More work on the mp3 player... I changed it to write to a MySQL database so I can read it from a Perl script. I've set up a little demo page here. It shows the last 10 songs I've listened to.

i recompiled x11amp today and it started leaking memory. I took that as inspiration and started my new mp3 player frontend. I've been looking around for a player that would output the filename of the current song to a text file so that I could include it somewhere here (sort of a "what I'm listening to right now" type thing), but I haven't been able to find one. So I'm writing a frontend to mpg123. Right now it opens a playlist, randomizes it, plays mp3's, and writes the text file. Not a bad start for 15 minutes of work, but it's still got a long way to go. I'm planning on a GUI using Gtk::Perl if I ever get around to it.

As you probably notice (unless you're visiting this very brief expanse of wasteland for the first time), the layout changed. I finally got Gimp re-compiled (after who knows how long of trying), so I'm experimenting. I don't know if I like it yet... Let me know what you think.

It's Spring Break, and I'm loving it. Now if the weather would just get better...
