Linux: June 2005
http://shfbbm-linux.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 23, 2005. Received an email from Ebuyer. Regarding the hard drive I am returning. In fact, I received a series of emails - the first saying that they'd received it and it would be tested in the next couple of days, the second saying that it was faulty and be replaced, and the next three didn't have any proper sentences or comprehensive English but as far as I can tell were just confirming that it would be replaced. Minuses - Incomprehensible email messages. Ah well. Sunday, June 19, 2005.

Linux: September 2005

Sunday, September 25, 2005. Today I set up samba properly. Previously it only worked one way (viewing windows shares on the linux box) and involved typing the tedious command "sudo mount -t smbfs / 192.168.0.1/share /mnt/share" and entering two passwords (one for sudo, and one for the mounting). Firstly I set up a line in /etc/fstab to make this much quicker. 192168.0.1/share /mnt/network smbfs netdev,noauto,users,password=" ,fmask=777,umask=777 0 0. Netbios name = Tux. Password level = 8. Guest ok = yes.

Sunday, August 07, 2005. I've set up the sudoers file a little more sensibly now. Wheel ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /bin/mount /mnt/cdrom, /bin. The first line says that anyone in the wheel group (i.e. me) can run any command as root, but needs to enter his password first. Before I blow up the computer. Posted by shfbbm at 11:18 am.

Sunday, September 11, 2005. That I ask for someone else's advice. It's so petty that you fight. You raise your voice. And begin to shout. You cannot stop me. I will prove you wrong. You cannot stop me. I will live strong. I refuse to give in. To your finanacial blackmail. I refuse to give up. You can't make me fail. I will live on the streets. I will sell all my clothes. I will beg, I will borrow. My spirit is strong. I know I am right. I don't need support. Posted by shfbbm at 3:40 pm. Lots of New Music.

Sunday, January 15, 2006. The Bad Plus - These Are The Vistas. I'm not one to categorise music under a million different g. Enres, and it doesn't fall into my staple set of Rock, Pop, R B, Country or Classical. Intentionally so, and judging which "wrong" note to use is an important part of this music. That is, with the exception of Flim. As I said, I am not familiar with the original, the the Bad Plus version differs from the rest of the album. It is more cheerful, less chaotic, and dare it be sa...I'll ...

Saturday, November 19, 2005. Fun with half-time shuffles. Lately I've been playing lots of half-time shuffles. Since I can't write this stuff out in tab showing the triplets, I've notated it as bars of 24/16, but you should get the idea. They're also not terribly accurate, but are just meant to give a rough idea what is being played (in particular, ghost notes on the snare and the bass drum pattern are probably wrong on some of these). Firstly, a basic shuffle pattern:. 16 -o- o-Oo- o- o- o-Oo- o-. My Li...

Saturday, January 21, 2006. Cool Cowbell Paradiddle Tom Groove. Something cool I came up with at the end of my practise today:. T - - - - - - -O-. S -g- O-g-g- O- -g. B o- - - o- - - -. Tab may not work, but hey! Posted by shfbbm at 12:22 PM. Sunday, January 15, 2006. It's actually been a few months since I last played. I was busy getting ready for School's house music competition (I played two pieces, Coltrane's Impressions and Jay Z/Linkin Park Numb/Encore) and after that, I just stopped.

Sunday, June 26, 2005. Are a punk rock band hailing from Chicago. Download the demo songs and if you like it, buy the album(s). Posted by shfbbm at 10:36 am. Thursday, June 23, 2005. So I'm writing a progressive rock song. God knows what I've gotten myself into. But then the other day I was plonking away on a piano, and by some fluke I came upon a series of notes that I quite liked, and a minute or two later I had a bassline. And guess what. it's in 13/8 (actually alternate bars of 3/4 and 7/8, b...Very ...

Monday, July 11, 2005. Well not really a great deal of shopping, but I went to Sound Attak. On Saturday. I spent a wallet breaking 8, on a Jimmy Chamberlain clinic ticket, and a drum key. Now a drum key may seem like a very mundane thing to buy, and not worth writing about, however in this case I make an exception. Anyway, I went to get another drumkey. Posted by shfbbm at 1:35 PM. Saturday, July 02, 2005. My Little Bedroom Kit. Pearl Export bass drum (22x17) and tom (12x9). Ludwig Acrolite snare (14x5).
