Written by whit on August 13th, 2010Check out Ampache. It is totally awesome!
Ampache is a web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere, using almost any internet enabled device.
Combined with the Music Player Daemon, mpd, your music collection can grow wings and go anywhere with you, no planning ahead. Of course there is much, much more!
Ampache is great for organizing your music and creating awesome play-lists (which you can stream or push to your location’s mpd).

SupariousApril 12th, 2008, 10:59 PMfollowing the below instructions for EasyTag, I was able to have the same level of ease. The only exception would be that you have two steps (scan / rename),It’s works in several stages.
First, select the files you want to move. If the tags are correctly written, then do: Scanner>>.Rename File(s) & Directory.
You need to use tokens to describe how you want the files to be renamed.
For example, to put them as ~/music/artist/album/song.mp3 you would use:
/home/yourusername/music/%a/%b/%t in the file name’ section.
It will show you underneath what the resulting filenames will be. Check they are OK.
Then hit the green icon at the top to the right of the “Scanner: Rename Files and Dir” box
That will NOT rename the files – they won’t be saved until you hit the ‘diskette’ icon on the main screen (not the scanner screen).
Once you do that, it will save the files to the new filenames & directories.
You can do this to lots of files at once, once yo have tried it on a few to make sure it does what you want.
It’s a bit cumbersome, but soon becomes routine, and for me has worked well.
The search string that I configured was: ‘/srv/downloads/new/audio/%a/%b/%a – %t’, and it was straighforward to figure out the macro legend (click ‘show legend’ within the search window)
I used: /media/sdc1/musical_arts/main/%a/%b/%a–%t and set file names to replace ‘ ‘ and %20 with an underscore, ‘_’.

Fourth Wall Arts Salon

AT&T Sucks. Motorola too!
Written by whit on August 8th, 2010Yeah. Its official.
First of all: Don’t buy an AT&T Motorola Backflip! If you are looking for an android OS phone first look at other providers (I think only AT&T has the backflip) and other phones.
The Motorola Backflip is a nice piece of hardware where AT&T and Motorola have ganged together to place a diseased version of google’s android operating system.
Don’t believe me? I am not the only one.

To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, here is the terminal:

$ whoami

$ scp

$ rsync

$ get

$ wget

$ echo att sucks
att sucks
$ cd sdcard
$ mkdir test
I am denied permission on MY phone to execute the most simple tasks. AT&T is, I guess, used to having full control over its customers (ie iPhonies) who will remain customers because they love the hardware so much. However, AT&T making a big mistake and thinking that people will stand for this like they did with the iPhone.
You are lame AT&T. Motorola: shame on you for letting this happen to your phone!
So Many Geometry Models
Written by whit on May 17th, 2010Introduction
There are plenty of ways to define 3-dimensional geometries. Some are easy but limiting and some are very complex while providing limitless geometry configurations. Some cost thousands of dollars and require yearly licenses while others are free.
Here I try to document them and their compatibilities.
General
Virtual Geometry Model (VGM) – A nice translational library
C++ Based Models
- GEANT4 – Users Guide for Application Developers, Chapter 4
- ROOT – TGeo classes
XML Based Models
- GDML – Part of the CERN Simulation Project
- GraXML -
STEP
STEP is a standard for design and data exchange, as opposed to, say, Autocad’s formats which are are designed such that you cannot do this easily unless you fork over some money for their lousy software. Don’t use proprietary file formats. If you are looking to start a project, requiring some 3D design, use an application that can import/export STEP! This will save you and everyone working on the project many headaches. STEP is growing so become familiar with it, especially if you are an architect or engineer! Check out this neat machining video.
U.S. Military Murdering People
Written by whit on May 13th, 2010The U.S. military are just murdering people!!! Too strong of words… tell me after you have seen the video. Two Reuters camera men killed. Cameras are weapons apparently. The military murder people trying to help the wounded. Two children are wounded.
A Need for Newspapers
Written by whit on May 9th, 2010These two stories highlight the need for newspapers.
Philadelphia’s money woes are unique to its corrupt public servants.
Philadelphia’s corrupt police are exposed by the Philadelphia Daily News.
Also listen to story on Fresh Air.
Maybe why we don’t need TV news.
DoD Spending … It is a lot!

git – An easy version control
Written by whit on February 27th, 2010So I started to look at cvs and svn, then I read about git, which was created by Linus. Turns out it it quite easy to use and setup! I give it two thumbs up.
