So there’s a hip-hop duo, Brothers from Another, from my school who’s newish EP “Too Soon?” I just got around to listening to. And let me tell you – this is some good music – and completely FREE too! Check out their blog or download “Too Soon?” and just bask in the glory of good, royalty-free beats. I mean, come on – 5 tracks of high quality hip hop for absolutely nothing? What more could you ask for?
Check out some of their older stuff -
Here you all are – My fav 100 wallpapers.
Hope you enjoy!
So before I make the final transition over to my new blog Revolutionary Musings, I’d like to say a few words and make an announcement.
Firstly, I’d like to thank anybody who’s reading this – the fact that you would take time out of your day to peruse something as trivial as this is…well, not touching, but pretty close.
Secondly, anybody who’s thinking about starting a blog, I do recommend wordpress – but .com or .org depends on what sort of blogging you think you’ll be doing. If you plan to blog mostly for yourself, not on a regular basis, or something similar, I would recommend wordpress.com for it’s easy setup and nice basic customization. Anything much beyond that, however, e.g. Commercial blogging or something where you hope to have a large audience, go for wordpress.org. It requires more setup, but there’s MUCH more freedom. I cannot stress that highly enough – it’s why I abandoned this blog. For those of you who are having trouble with the supposedly easy installation, drop me a line and I’ll be happy to help, and for those of you looking for a decent free host, use Byethost and make a free co.cc domain. Finally, for you who want something between .com and .org or something a little more…social, shall we say, go for Tumblr.
Now, I have something to ask of you all, assuming you haven’t been bored to death by my blogging advice – go check out my new blog, Revolutionary Musings – you could even subscribe if you’re feeling charitable. Thanks.
And finally, something I should have done quite a while back, something that somebody who comments under the name Jack requested- I will be uploading to Adrive, and possible MegaUpload, if it’s co-operative, a collection of my 100 favorite wallpapers. There should be something, hopefully many things, actually, in there for all of you. It’ll be up later tonight, with any luck.
Oh, and one thought I just had – if anyone would like me to guest blog, I would be happy to.
Cheers!
For those of you who are mysteriously still subscribed to my feedburner after 5 months of silence (and I appreciate you 6, wherever you may be), good news! I’m starting up a NEW self-hosted blog (hopefully this one will last – unlike bobwama.co.cc) at gijutsu.co.cc. I’m hoping you loyal (or perhaps just forgetful) followers will join me there - it should be up and fully functional by Monday evening, and at the very least accessible by this afternoon. And for those of you who generate the 2000-3000 hits I get a day, despite my lack of posting, come check it out on Monday (there will be pretty much nothing up today, so it would be rather pointless until then)!
Today’s Wallpaper:
I’ve decided to reinstate apps of the week- with a few changes. Firstly, I will do it on Sundays and Wednesdays. Secondly, instead of listing 10+ apps with a brief description of each, I will do a longer review of 1 or 2 apps. And finally, with the exception of major upgrades (such as FireFox’s recent 3.0-3.5), I will review each app only once.
Today’s app is TeraCopy, an alternative to Windows file copying. I am yet to compare its performance to XP’s, but I have found that it easily outstrips Windows 7’s when copying large files or large numbers of files. When copying a few small files, however, it lags behind somewhat. It easily makes up for this though with much more open canceling, overwriting, and renaming during file transfers. TeraCopy allows you to cancel files that can’t or shouldn’t be copied in the middle of a transfer without canceling the whole thing- fixing the biggest problem with Windows File Transfer Utility. Teracopy also has a very small footprint, even during large transfers. I would recommend it to anyone working with a Windows machine.
