Well I’m happy to report that yet another successful Textpattern site has been launched.
My buddy Mark Berry has finished his novel and he needed a website to promote and sell his book. Pushing Leaves Towars the Sun has been launched and like I did with Focal Point Wellness Center, a Textpattern backend with a heavily modified template was all that was needed to get he job done. Once Mark learned ow to edit and create ‘articles’ or I as like to say manage the content, I was left to making sure everything else was working.
So if your looking for something to read, the 1st three chapters are available online, so give it a shot. Oh yeah, he’s looking for a publisher too.
I’ve gotten a few hits from google with Dramagods as a search query. So I figured that I should do a quick show report.
The band went on promptly, around 8:20ish and played for approximately 75 minutes. They did not have a lot of space on stage (opening up for Disturbed), there were a few technical things going on but, overall it was a strong performance. The audience was very receptive the new songs.
Here’s the set list to the best of my recollection:
Nice to meet you (solo section was extended)
Megaton
S’Ok
Interface
Fearless Leader
Midnight Express
No regrets
Lockdown
Pilots
Exit
Well, it’s another year and I’m back in Anaheim for another NAMM show. For some reason, this year I have not acclimated to the time zone as fast as I normally do. It’s more that 24 hours after I’ve landed and I’m very tired with a full schedule ahead of me. Looking forward to Dramagods at House of Blues on Friday night, I’m not sure what other shows are planned. I’ll report more as the show gets closer.
The Usanity weblog points out that Microsoft released the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for Quicktime for free. This will mark the end of the horrible Windows Media Player for Many OS X users. Now you may play .wmv and .asf files directly with the QuickTime Player. Hallelujah!

Never leave something on top of your car. I know your “only going to leave it there for one minute” and “that would never happen again”. But trust me, it’s a bad idea
Somehow I missed iPodDisk. This unbelievably useful app was released back in November and will most likely replace Senuti in my iPod toolbox. iPodDisk mounts your iPod right on your Desktop as a read-only shared volume not unlike an iDisk. This volume contains two folders “Artists” and “Playlists” which correspond to the Artists and Playlists on your iPod. Now you’re free to do whatever you want with the mp3/mp4 files inside those folders (except remove them, it’s read-only remember?). This would be tremendously helpful if you lost your iTunes library and the only back of your music was on your iPod.
I now keep dmg installers of both Senuti and iPodDisk on my iPod [which is set to ‘Enable disk use’ in iTunes Prefs] for those occasions when I need to get at the actual mp3 files on my ‘Pod.
