got MPD working. fucking rad. I hate the idea of NOT treating my box, boxens as part of the internet. so mpd makes sense. amarok suxxxed. the tree looks now like: tmi mgmt < dodec (nonprof, 12), freebox (prof, install/upkeep jukemachines CC only — a non-$ attractor like a fountain or something), able (nonprofit for gettin tha reres netted.. could be pseudo-quasi-religious to get $$$? — this has HUGE growth potential ie input devices ie experimental devices and test subjects etc etc HUGE)

good to know!

just in case someone’s searching for: linux, flash, ubuntu, xubuntu, 64bit, libflash, firefox, how do I get sound in flash, x86_64, or something:

I got it working by noticing I was getting a ton of “PCM something something ALSA” something errors, while trying to play some youtube video. I noticed this by opening firefox in the terminal. I solved this by something really stupid, “picking my default soundcard” whatever the fuck that means.. asoundconf-gtk was what it was on mine. also was listed in the settings area of my buttons file.

I need to remember that I really do honestly derive more pleasure from the latter.

I really do need to remember that everything is fine either way, BUT I have more fun in some circumstances.

• cello, buy one
• cinematic idea: first think of scene with character wearing headphones, you hear music, char takes off headphones music dies down.. do this but have music be a little quiet then taken off headphones and placed near like stuffed animal, and it gets louder. “Whoa” the stuffed animal is the char. and actually “Whoa” says the “supposedly main” char and lifts up and sets down the headphones with corresponding volume changes. fucking golden but only ala har/kum that kind of thing. or maybe kind of neat in other circum.
• I am sitting in a room : 1. lang 2. native or not (other issues like is it the 3rd or 4th lang learned, not important) 3. size/character of room 4. rec equip 5. iterations
• 2a. translation (interpretation)
• pornography = $. internet = $. I could have been motherfucking richhhh by 19. Even look at this thing with the *tubes… pornotube, youporn, xtube, spankwire, redtube (astroturfed to hell on 4chan), tube1, tube8, tiavastube (from searchvids?) …………………… another dead death.
• fucking love bulleted lists
• fucking love reddit
• fucking love programming, need to get back wit it.
• fucking love packets, can’t wait for when I’m caught up on the RFCs and my professor is like “dude lrn2math also you’re fired” ha kidding (or not?)
• there is actually a girl going to come over, we actually are cut from the same cloth and all that in some ways (or we plume our feathers because we’re both lonely fucks who will stab eachothers’ eyes out at a moments’ notices’ (s’ added for keeping up the momentum))s’.
• girls can’t get drunk because alcohol clearly has no effect on sand. this is why they’re so self-conscious of that. also they need liquid to bind.

SDL seems good (abuse, fuck yeah!)

boost failed

audacity seems to work next is jack, then lives (after all those codecs and dependencies are mostly there)

but working on fontforge now. note their good documentation, it’s fucking GREAT documentation actually: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/overview.html — goes over generic glyph/font issues as well as specific to the fontforge program. A+

I ran across something, I think actually it was on the bluewhite64 page (I’m sorry if this upsets any viewers (lol), as there seems to be some controversy between bw64 and slamd64… ok not interested, I uninstalled them both) about wanting to answer questions on the forum because it STAYS there and is accessible for people in the future.

This contrasts help from IRC (which, of course, is much more of an immediate kind of help) in that if you want it archived you need to log the whole channel.

SOLUTIONS:

1. direct IRC users to the forums (this is against the grain, in a lot of cases)
2. develop better logging techniques; either bots pick up on keywords (the hard way, to figure out at least), or mods/q&a people direct bots to appropriate lines in order for them to be tagged.

I think that #2 (obviously, according to wording) is better. And specifically I think the second case is the better of the two. Users could be slowly indoctrinated to this as part of (slowly becoming yesteryear’s) “netiquette.” Like a msg from the bot, “was your question answered? c&p it here” where it’ll find the appropriate line #s and publish them…

or perhaps much better: a mod/op whatever they’re called or OMG there is no authority — someone will go through each day and highlight questions and their potential answers. duplicates will be dropped. you could just idle all day while at work, then coming home scroll back, see the good questions which got good answers, highlight, paste to bot (then is checked by bot for duplication, deciding title) who posts to website. website could be checked periodically (this would be a second and final layer, plenty for a q&a style forum/irc/whatever it is.)

tl;dr Too much is being lost from IRC. This is a good solution.

as the 64-bit distros are proving to be let-downs (let-downs that I can’t even help with, being that I’m too undisciplined to learn to code good or bug report/etc), here we have me going back to friendly-friend zenwalk and basically pretending like I don’t have a 64-bit system.
