Get your own x-mas present you geek


I bought my own present in interweb-shop-land, a stonking guitar effectsprocessor with so many bells and whistles (literally) that it should keep my rampant mid-life crisis stoked for some time to come.

I will post later to give my own review, but for now check this.

Pistakee

From the b3ta.com website (bookmark it now, fool)
>> Bald Knob Marina <<   According to the website Bald Knob Marina is
situated on 'Pistakee Lake'. Surely to
goodness no; this cannot be real?

This of course should not be mistaken for Bald Knob Mariniere

WikiWikiWildWildWest

Put up my very first wiki on Tuesday. I am quite inspired by how great these little gems of internet magic are. It is not sophisticated in any way - a simple low concurrent user documentation wiki (DokuWiki) that has a flat file back-end and is written in PHP.

What made me do it was to turn that static web page of guitar collaborations into a collaborative one. That page is now here.

What is a little anoying is that I had just started to use asciidoc to make rapid website additions (see here), and now that is a little redundant as I can do everything a lot easier in the wiki. Mind you the advantage that has is that it does not need a server that allows php.

Anyway, I may end up using my wiki more than a) my website, b) my blog or c) doing my PhD.

Killer Axe, man

Attlia came over with his killer Axe. I mean close to a grands worth of shining maple semi-ac, jazz god, guitar splendor. He also brought his fiddle and considerable musical expertise.

3 hours went by in a flash and we said we must do it again.

To this end I compiled what we played in an attempt to devise a repertoire. It is here.
