Free Help (to those who ask)

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

I’d like to know if anyone in the entire internet world has any questions, problems, or want tips about anything. The topics are endless. It could be about food, people, art, music, websites, software, computers, the english language, guitars, or even a personal question. I’ll answer almost anything and any of your inquiries are encouraged. [...]

foobar2000 Review

Friday, June 29th, 2007

After test driving several media players, I have tried to customize foobar2K as a replacement of my current music program, iTunes. Although I was initially negative about the raw power of foobar2000, I still decided to give it one more try. Right away I could tell this was not going to be intuitive. I tried [...]

Inexpensive Web Hosting

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I’m just a regular guy with some spare web space that is up for grabs for small business/personal sites. If you are sick of the hassles of free hosting like I was or just want to get started on the web, theres ample space here for you to grow even after your site gains higher [...]

My Cigar Box Slide Guitar

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

A few months ago I was working on making my own instrument from a cigar box. There are many guitars made out of odds and ends, and cigar boxes have been popular for do-it-yourself blues players since pre-war legends. Being an amateur craftsman with wood, I made the best out of my skills and the [...]

Comparison of Music Players, iTunes alternatives

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

In an attempt to give six other applications a try (I’ve been an iTunes user), I wrote up a review comparing several freeware media players with a focus on those that are designed to manage, organize, and use your music collection. I’m fairly satisfied using iTunes at the moment, but I have been searching for [...]

Before Stardom: Super Greg

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Traveling back to the dawn of the new millienium, I’d like to show you a website that was around in 2000 by a practical jokester (similar to Andy Kaufman) who has gained in popularity more recently since the making (and expiration) of the website. It was at one point supergreg.com, but now all that remains [...]

Guitar Playing Fiasco

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

I scared myself when I realized after years of playing guitar that I was incapable of playing 6-string barre chords (minor) and have all strings ring out (string 3 in particular). I am positive that I was able to do this before. The sad thing is doing something like F minor, it’s crucial to have [...]

Windows iTunes Scripts Downloads

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

I’m on a roll with iTunes-related tips lately. To better myself and others, I have made scripts that can edit music file tags, create technical playlists not possible even with Smart Playlists, and other workarounds for missing features and requests. Some work out-of-the-box, and the rest just need you to enter your desired customizations in [...]

Manage Checked iTems in iTunes

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I’ve got an iPod that can’t store all my music, but I still automatically update checked items in my iTunes library (it’s a syncing option). I’ve found a workaround for one of my wishes that Apple probably won’t be adding any time soon. My desire is to sort tracks by check mark box (whether selected [...]
