Wordpress updates are often needed for security fixes and the most recent additions (v2.5) to usability are pretty nice. The negative end of things is correcting plugin bugs, confirming database integrity, and revising my custom-developed theme. Luckily I don’t have a heavy load of intricate sites that all need updating, but even the few that [...]

Some websites die, progress for the worse, or benefit for recreation. Ideas get recycled, reinvented, abused, and improved. So it goes with web-based audio technology. If you need a replacement site or are just looking for new ways to listen to free music without trouble, then read on.
Albumbase is Dead
There once was a site called [...]

Since the beginning of January, Alexa Redirect links have been deprecated and no longer function. They work as a prevention to get to your site.
It used to be possible to inject your link with a forced redirect from alexa: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://liquidparallax.com would tell Alexa someone is going to my homepage. It was debated whether this [...]

The year is about through and I’d like to scan through the past of liquidparallax.com. I’m usually the person who scolds other site for doing “This Month’s Best Posts Roundup,” but this is slightly different. In over a year of doing this blog, I’ve never put myself in an egocentric position and said “Internet users [...]

The first (illusion) meaning you perceive something the wrong way, and the latter meaning you have a vision of something without any sightly cause to promote it (a [...]

Instead of wasting time downloading things by hand, page by page, clicking links generated from javascript, right clicking to save or waiting for each save dialog box, you could be using a download manager to automatically grab certain files from links off of a page. DownThemAll is my choice for Firefox.
Let’s say you want [...]

There are times when I persist in the most random things. Sometimes it’s productive; other times it betters my life in no significant way. What I’m about to show you is very handy, but the amount I spent tinkering on it didn’t save me too much effort. Well, it actually did shape up 20,000 of [...]

Being a slightly picky person when it comes to music tag metadata in my files, I haven’t found a great way to original release year OR recorded year for a compilation or non-standard album. For instance, I got a Sufer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim combo disc and it was fairly easy to figure out the original [...]

Forgive my use of the words “power users.” I don’t write exclusively for the advanced. I tend to write simplistically even when the task is a bit in-depth. This one is actually pretty easy (but explaining the default sorting abilities is a nightmare). I’m using 7.0.2 I believe, so if you are the type who [...]

I have been using Amazon heavily lately to expand my music collection, catch up on my reading, get textbooks, and getting a DVD [Come Feel Me Tremble] that I’ve been wanting for a while. If you look under the grill of Amazon.com, you can hack your spending techniques and get the best value.
