My [Rocket Engine] of a laptop from 2005 just got a bad harddrive. 2005, really!? I hope all the replacement harddrives for this dinosaur are higher capacity and dirt cheap. Something compatible with 80 GB 5400rpm ATA-100 Super Slim Notebook Hard Drive.

My [TAGCMA] project was so old I couldn't remember how to get the code. I finally figured it out. The entire site is readonly, so when I figure that out, I'll be able to update the links. To get the code you do this (assume you have a CVS client).

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tagelflax.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tagelflax login

(no password just press enter)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tagelflax.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tagelflax co -P tagml

Windows-7 is my preferred development OS. However, recently it has become unstable and I have the need to reinstall.

I typically install [My Preferred Development Environment].

In all cases, always make a backup before wiping the harddrive. Since I purchased Windows-7 PRO upgrade, the install is tedious. First I need to install Vista. However, if I've already installed Windows-7, I won't be able to install Vista because it can't read and format the partitions correctly. So first I install Windows 7-PRO and defer the activation. Next I install Vista over the Windows-7 PRO install which created a windows.old folder. I delete the windows.old folder and then tediously have to install the Vista SP1. After than I can run the Windows-7 upgrade and that runs for a long time. Then I delete the windows.old folder again and restore all the software to get back to my preferred development environment.

[MozBackup] restored my email profile for [Thunderbird] flawlessly. I did have to manually copy my signature file.

Might as well try [Visual Studio 2010].

The next [X-Prize] is worth $10M and will be awarded for building a brain-computer interface. It sounds similar to the [Emotiv] helmet. However, most of the posts are talking about surgery. It would be nice to develop a brain computer interface that could avoid the surgery part.

Today the temperature in Monroe, WA is the same as Miami, FL. That means it happened. The world finally tilted. Greenland is the new north pole. Even [magnetic north] is moving east.

The [Propellerhead forums] made a reference to [ASIO4ALL], which is a program that lets you tweak your audio devices and place them on a single device driver. This is especially useful for programs like Reason Record. The best part is this is a free driver. It works on Windows-7 64-bit and the control panel shows in the system panel as soon as the device driver is in use.

[POD Studio GX] connects a guitar input to a usb port and [interfaces with Reason].

I just started using multiple audio devices with Reason Record and quickly ran into some [work flow issues]. There are several [Video Tutorials] on the Reason website.
