I'm writing this from sjc3, one of above.net's colos in San Jose. I now once again have my own colo'ed server.

I heard of Shea Seger because she's been touring with John Mayer. I'm mixed on a lot of her songs, but I really like Blind Situation. It's really down-tempo with some rap (by a rapper I haven't heard of -- Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes). Always and Twisted are also cool.

You know it's a weird day when you totally make up code and it works the first way you try. Especially when this code involves storing and retrieving nested arrays from Storable... The diff from my eThreads changes on the night is 2394 lines at the moment. Needless to say, I've tackled a huge chunk of code.
