Hi...I'm not dead...although looking at the site you might think so. New job, new life, no time...you know the story.
Anyway, as a sidenote, I've decided to brush up on my programming skills and one of the things I decided to learn was how to build Windows Programs. I've always
hated Microsoft, but since most of my friends use it I
have to build for Windows...(sure as hell beats lugging
a laptop around to show off my toyz)
As I learn, my hatred grows more intense...why? Well,
let me show you. We'll use "Hello World" as an example.
In order to write "Hello World!" to a command line, you'd use the following C++ code:
//---------------------------------------------------
// Short, sweet, stupid
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
cout << "\nHello, World!\n";
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------------
Now, to do the same thing in Windows takes about 90 lines of code, four or five times as long and a hell
of a lot more disk space...
again I say...fsck microsoft.

MUTHAFscK MICRO$OFT!
Mood:
 irritated
Now Playing: www.rantradio.com
Topic: TECHNICAL CRAP
 So, here I am, after building the server for our website, and after transferring some of the future site over to it, I decided that I wanted to redesign my laptop so I could play with the radio station, not to mention build a small studio out of my room. So, after installing from recovery media, getting Pro-Tools installed, and finally getting Winblows set up the way I wanted it, I shut it off and went over to Sam's. Then of course I turned it on, and what does it do...nothing...that's right...absolutely fucking nothing! It would die in the middle of the boot, and no cool f8 trick would work. Frustrated, (this being my second attempt to run the "more user-friendly OS" in a two day period) I have decided that if I can't do it with *nix or other Open Source software, I just don't care. To hell with Windows.
Currently my laptop is running off of a Hard Drive install of Knoppix-STD (the only disk I had on me), and most imaging and sound I do is now being done with a dyne:bolic live CD...
I hate blue screens.
Now for the good news. I'm going to the rock the vote on the 23rd, (though I may be late), and I hope we get to see you there...
TOGETHER ONLY YOU CAN VOTE FOR MEDIOCRITY!!!

Topic: TECHNICAL CRAP
I just got notice from Rantech that the server is ready to go online. What does this mean? Well, the hardware is ready and able to go...all we're waiting for now is an updated web connection to allow us to operate it. (hell, it's running my house network pretty nice)
REALLY KICK ASS NEWS UPDATE THAT R0XX0RS!!!
-------------------------------------------
Through experimentation and escapism of the life he calls hell, Lt. Dan has begun to design the web broadcast. We hope to have that soon, but it will be fairly limited in scope until our bandwidth issues are solved...hell yeah! So far on the playlist...
