Today I was playing around with mixtapes… and found a few songs from “The Shamen” which brought back memories:
1. Ebeneezer Goode 2. Move any mountain (Peter Wagner Remix) 3. Make it mine (Moby’s Deep Mix) 4. Indica (Shamen Mix) 5. Strange Days Dream 6. Move any mountain (Pappas Mix)
Mixwit is a great site… Lots of fun! Basically, you can put together your own mixtapes! Here’s one I prepared earlier!
Nine Inch Nails (NIN), now they’re no longer constrained by a record label, have decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, believing BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method. Ghosts I is available as a Free Download (9 Tracks) on MP3 and Trent Reznor explains: I’ve been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn’t have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective – dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams.
Upgrades are all fine in theory… until they go wrong at least! About a week ago I had the inspired idea to upgrade my WordPress installation and keep in mind I am not the most advanced person when it comes to computers (actually I’m very much a “self-learn” beginner), but I never could have anticipated the heartbreak! Whatever I did wrong (or maybe it was something else) the upgrade went through my blog like a lawnmower! The dashboard stopped working, widgets froze (which I later found out was a Java problem), tags got erased, as did photos… WordPress support didn’t seem to have any answers either and I was well and truly out of my league!
In my own computer naivety I decided the only thing to do was to start from scratch and reload WordPress and big “Whoops!”. That created its own blend of problems… namely dreaded “404 errors”, a term I never really understood prior to now but one which resulted in having to figure out “redirects! It’s all been a lot of unexpected work that’s meant having very little time to blog… and yet I can’t help but feel that this has been a good thing… To be honest, through all my mistakes and moments of getting disheartened, I’ve learned more in one week than in the four months prior in which I’ve been blogging.
I just hope anyone who visits my blog can bear with me while I figure out the few problems my blog is having with getting fully back on track!
