In effort not to jinx myself I’ve refrained from commenting on the new monitor and computer.. but a week’s now passed and I must say they are absolutely and utterly divine. The Dell 20.1″ monitor is crystal clear and spins around and does all sorts of tricks, while the 3GHz PC with a gig of RAM and two hard drives totalling 380GB is smoothly operating without ticks or clicks or blue screens. How brilliant to be able to hook up the VCR and generate a high quality 35 minutes video file without any complaints. Music sounds better. I don’t have to wander off to make a cup of coffee while I wait for an application to load. I can run lots of programs at once without a stutter. I’m a geek in love.
Inspired by the power at my finger tips, I’ve upgraded the wordpress application running this site to v2.0.1, made a few tweaks here and there, and started hacking away at adding tags. I’ve only tagged the band photos at this stage so that by clicking on the tag you can find other photos for that band. The list of bands is on the new tags page as well as a tag cloud that displays the most common tags in larger font sizes.. woot. More hacking to be done..
Cool! Did I ever mention, Annette, who I know via the antiweb mailing list, runs a website for mainly Syndney-based music: http://www.songpod.com.au/
