Too Busy For Words - the PaulWay Blog

I love VMWare, it's revolutionised my life. Now I can do my mixing in MixMeister inside a VMWare instance of Windows XP, and it works completely! I can give it two sound cards, too (because I have two sound cards), and even access to the CD burner (with legacy support turned off) to allow it to burn mix CDs. This means I don't have to stop everything I do and leave Fedora in order to mix it up a bit.

So, after a night of idle mixing, I've neared completing my 'mix of all the vinyl records I have' (alas, no snappy title springs to mind) and continued work on my aiming-to-be-huge Goa mix. I'm listening to the latter now, and I've mashed them into a gooey 40 kilobit per second MP3 paste for my mobile phone.

Then, to continue the good news, I found out that Internode is now preparing to build ADSL2 in the Belconnen exchange (which I'm connected to), so I'm going to be on meaty fast internet goodness soon. (I'm going to keep using the old Alcatel Speedtouch 'Stingray' modem until I can be bothered going any faster - AFAICS I'll still get 8Mbps down and 1Mbps up, and the latter is what I'm wanting.)

And to top it all off I've got my license renewed and the program I've been writing for work is nearly working. Who would have thought I could write a merge sort off the top of my head and have it work first go?
