Still fooling around

Posted by TFG on 26th July 2008

I got all the books done, so now I’m back playing with that SeeqPod thingy — I guess it kinda crawls the web looking for “media” — so far I’m just checking some of my faves. Here’s another from RWH:

Here’s a whole SCOTS playlist:

SeeqPod - Playable Search

I guess they get around the copyright issue by indexing everybody else’s web page and then just streaming from there. Which is gonna put a hurting on some dude’s bandwidth bill who forgot he loaded up a bunch of tunes back in the day. Interesting concept.

OK, then — hitting the river. Pics TK.

A little help, please?

Posted by TFG on 26th July 2008

Can some mechanical engineer tell me why this stupid thing is keyed like that?

why

Because that means I can’t just drill a hole using a regular old hand drill and jig, or even a drill press. I reckon there’s some kind of slick metal-shop dealio that does it, but damn, it kinda hoses the old “let’s fool around in the garage and build something with this” ethos. I guess I could grind it off, huh? Or get the ChiComms to make me one without it.

PS I’m studiously ignoring the enormous pile of invoices and POs on my desk, and QuickBooks lurking down on the menu bar. Man, I hate accounting. “Balance sheet? Whaddat? We got a balance…not much, but it be a balance.” I just want to make stuff and sell it. I can’t wait to hire an office manager. Sigh. OK, then, let’s get to it. I’ll treat myself to a paddle later.
