George Carlin on the World Today

“It’s a big freak show. You gotta just enjoy it. That’s my attitude. The human race is destroying itself slowly and it’s wonderful to watch. It’s being led by America, which has all the money and the power and the guns.”

“We’re all given a ticket to the American freak show the day we’re born and some people, they put their ticket away. Me, I watch the show.”

London

London was a whole lot of fun. We ran around all over, saw a lot of museums ate some fish and chips and drank lots of beer.

Some observations:
People are generaly quiet around London.
They are not overweight
They drink lots of tea, and I started to enjoy that.
There is very little TV and everybody reads the newpaper. (Another thing I liked)
Usually there are no TVs on in the bar. People actually talk to each other.
The London Underground is great.
All the noisy people are the Italians
Most of the people who are standing around blocking entrances are French.
There are almost no electronics stores but there are tons of clothes stores.

Off to London

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain’t got no swing
‘Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

Update to MP3 player

OK, so here is my latest update to my MP3 player. This is such an improvement on my last version why don’t we forget that I even posted a version before this.

Improvements that I made in this version.
All tags are read from the id3 tags inside of the MP3. (This will be kind of buggy until I can change all the tags in the songs to be id3 version 1.1, which Flash can read)
Super Cool volume slider.
Song position and duration information taken directly from the MP3 file.
Cool play and pause buttons which call a function(); based on what song is in the song chooser.
A super cool song chooser which is fairly simply made.

Next steps:
Fix next and previous bug with song chooser.
More player to MX 2004 so I can get better id3 tag support.
clickable Progress Bar?
load song names and URL from a separate file or SWF
Set MP3s to stream so they start playing faster.

Free CD

I got a nice little email from Emagic today telling me that, “Yes the plugins that shipped with Logic 6 do not work in OSX” but if I would like the updated plugins that work with the new MAC OS I should email them with my address and they will send me out a CD at no charge.

Customer service is everything.

Tickets I don’t have to show you any tickets.

I will not even go into why I had tickets to the Wrens show last weekend but did not go. Just put it down to being a retard.
