Slowly getting used to playing the Chapman Stick. It's both easier and harder to play than I expected. Of course, being pretty much tone deaf doesnt help any.

Speaking of being tone deaf, hacked around a bit on GNU Solfege. Mainly just to add support for Chapman Stick in addition to the already existing piano/guitar/base/accordian support. Need to submit the patch here shortly.

Found a picture of Patrick Stewart playing a modified Chapman Stick in Dune. Thats too many geek themes in one picture for my poor little mind to handle.

RHN is keeping me busy. Nice to see people actually using it. I've actually used up2date to update a 6.2 box to a 7.1 box just for kicks, and a couple 7.0->7.1 upgrades. Kind of nifty. Not really "supported" at the moment, but interesting none the less.

Made the mistake of blindly buying a new "Sound Blaster 16" sound card without reading the box with a cynical view. I wanted a card with some degree of hardware midi support, even if it did suck. Turns out the new "Sound Blaster 16" is just yet another relabled ess1371 card. Great. I'll add it to the pile. Borrowed a SB awe32 for the time being.
