Music with capital M

Posted by haugern in music, personal, technology on February 21st, 2008

Growing up with the C64 and the SID, a lot of good feelings emerge when the small tunes reach my ears. I have also fond memories of my first PC and an imported Gravis UltraSound in the early 90’s and the demoscene back then.

So when a coworker introduced me to Slay Radio, I just had to spread the love. I have previously been an avid listener to Nectarine Demoscene Radio, so now I suddenly have a luxurious problem on my hands; to which do I lend my ears?

Well, enough of my hard choices. Get ready for endless hours with nostalgic musical pearls and good feelings all around and tune in to either Slay Radio or Nectarine now!

Catching up

Posted by haugern in development, learning, personal, technology on November 12th, 2007

In my last post I mentioned that I’ve been doing a lot of catching up on the technology side of things lately, and when I started out reading blogs I quickly realized it was a lot of ?LAs (1,2,3,4,5,.. Letter Acronyms) that I didn’t grasp or understood.

So I made a list of every ?LA and buzzword I didn’t know about while reading (and didn’t need to because of context at the moment), and I’m now at a point where I want to grok’em. I also wrote down things I had heard about or just scratched the surface on, which I wanted a clearer view of.

One by one, I’ll describe them in my own words. I’ll provide pointers to references where I found useful information and I’ll let you in on what detail made me go “Oh, a-ha!”. The list can be found here.
