09August2008 MyLoveForMusic:Twilight Volume 6

Welcome back everyone, I hope your work week went well and I hope your weekend will belong to you. Two things I have told myself, (1) Take life for what it’s worth and (2) not to do any more podcast with 17-18 tracks…I can’t handle that when it comes to the show notes. But besides that everything is great. This podcast will have a positive hip-hop track(that was inspired by Macedonia’s BSOTS episode #69[the track was "love, hugs and hip-hop"by carlos nino & lil' sci]). With that said I want to keep the positive vibe going with my podcast.[more]

02August2008 MLFM:Twilight Volume 5

These podcasts I find myself coming back time and time again, laid back, relaxing podcast. I guess this past week has been long one and I was hoping to publish this podcast last week but time got away from me. This podcast was a little long for me as well (close to 90 minutes). I’m going to get back to having just an hour a little over.[more]

I’m A Crazy Person {When It Comes To Time}

It is and has always been said that “a crazy person is a lad that keeps doing the same task the same way and expect different results”…I am that crazy person…when it comes to time. You would think by me skating through class by the skin of my teeth last time that I would have realized this but it seems I have not. I begin class this month and already my habits has not change when it comes to managing time. I should know better, heck, I DO KNOW BETTER and yet I keep engaging in this destructive habit to myself. I will admit (and maybe this will help me by me saying this out loud) I do not respect TIME plain and simple.

By me working the way that I do I know really do not have time to do certain things, like surfing the web because lets be honest…it seems when you are surfing the web hours seem like minutes and minutes seems like seconds. I know this but then I keep trying to do this every day which leads to not getting to work the time when I want to get there which in returns when the training rooms and conferences rooms are used means I may leave work after my schedule time. I will be honest, this falls on me. I can’t blame anyone. I know we only have 24 hours in a day, I can’t stop time (the only time I know when the sun stopped is when Joshua was battling his enemies and God stopped time for him and I can not think of anyone else that time stopped for although that’s would be cool don’t you think?). So with that said, I have to break this bad habit and NOW. This is what I need to do every day during the work/school week.

The only time I can get on the computer for me is early in the morning. During the day I don’t have access to it at work and I have accepted that and when I come home not to get on the computer because I know once I’m on 15-20 minutes is not good for me. I’m a geek, I love the web and for that’s like giving me one french fry or a half of a hamburger…it will not do my justice. And how do I use the computer doing the morning is to…

Take my butt to bed when I get home from the second gig. I say this all the time and really never do it. I need to hop in the shower, if I’m hungry to eat a bowl of cereal (nothing heavy). No computer/no TV…just bedtime. So what if my Karma on Plurk dips doing the week, it’s just a thing of no value right? (so why I’m I so worried if it’s dips below 50?) But in all seriousness, I need to manage my time and respect time. If I go to bed at a proper time, I wake up early and that time i can get my geek on. It seems that I do my best work either very early in the morning or late, late at night.

Eat a big breakfast at home. If I eat a nice big breakfast and snack on healthy food doing the day I really do not need a lunch and by only getting 30 minutes for lunch this works out for me (and what is up with these companies only giving 30 minutes?) I find for me not eating food at work (1) helps me stay away from the noisy/nosy people (2) I can spend some quiet time with myself (3) curves me from spending money. (4) I’m thinking about what I need to accomplish and not food.

In all honesty it really comes down to me. In order for me to do what I want and really need I must give up some habits that in the end that are not benefiting me right now. Watching TV…those actors already have “theirs” and I need to get mine. It is so true, “time is what you make of it” and right now I am not making good with my time…but that’s goint to change. These things I need to simple and I am making what I need to do to better myself difficult. I have to make that change in order to be successful.

Organizing Bookmarks

these are not utterz but tech helpful hints. These are longer than 1 minute So I am warning you now so you can’t complain later. This is one of my earlier podcast so I apologize in advance for the loud music intro…the rest of the podcast music volume is okay.

what do you think of Microsoft’s table PC

This short article on CNET tells how the Table is getting looks but for me sometimes marketing look over the simplest things. As director of Mark Bolger says, “What we have found out is this is not a one-size-fits-all solution”. Sometimes I think these companies put the “cart before the horse”.

I’m thinking sometimes they do not realize that in today’s world news travels faster than want it travel which means at times they have to rush a product out which means they have to take shortcuts which means at times there may be recalls (prime example Vista).

I know that tech companies have to stay on top of their game but sometimes you have to bite the bullet just do the right thing. If you make a stable, reliable product people will stick with it and will stick with the company that puts the product out there.

Let’s hope this is winner because Microsoft is not a bad company,there just have been making bad choices when comes to releasing their products.

another reason why I still love my Sony Minidisc Player

I recently discovered another wonderful online music player: Slacker and how I use my minidisc is I record the tracks from my laptop to my minidisc. I put a 80min minidisc and set it for the slowest speed(which is LP4) and I get about 5 hours of music.

I know you young whipper snappers have other ways of capturing audio from the web and yes I have a couple of iPods myself but for me they is just something for me that doing this I enjoy.

I really like my iPods and I’m not going to give them up but I still enjoy my minidisc players because of the size, the battery life from just 1 AA battery and the features it has that allow me to capture audio, to record live with a mic jack.

I know I’m a dinosaur at times but I “I y’am whats I y’am.”

Firefox 3.0 On The Horizon

I am so hoping that when FF3.0 finally hits the masses the bugs will be worked out of it. To be honest Firefox is still my favorite browser but this has been the buggiest one to date.

Check out the screen shots for FF3.0 beta

Message For My Mac Brothers and Sisters

I think I should share this the masses who are Mac users in reference to a trojan that has been released in regards to Mac users reported by download squad. My opinion I really wish it was really harsh penalties for people who write this junk because it takes up so much time to get your system back in order.

I would share what they should to people who write these type of viruses but I do not want your opinion to change of me. LOL

Have a great day every one. Happy Geekin’

Good Info from Lifehacker

Now why couldn’t they have come out with this article yesterday when I needed it. Oh well, better late than never. ^_^ Wisdom never gets old.
