2Play Episode 3

Ok, i got this recorded early today and am finally getting it posted. This week i’m going with a bit of punk. Now i think punk is one of the better genres of music for MP3's. It's just something got lost moving from vinyl to CDs, it’s hard to explain if your not nor have been a punk fan but it just needs the clicks and pops from vinyl. So with the lower quality of MP3 it adds to it, i think anyway. So this weeks bands are The Pub Crawlers and The ConfederRats. Just follow the links for the bands on the Piggyback site for the Confederats info.

Heres the MP3
Hope ya enjoy, g

And lifes hecticnesses (wa? its a great word.) continues. i can tell i'm too busy when i don't get my podcasts listened to. Just so you know i tend to have 15 + hours a week of them, but with drive times and computer crunch times i can or have been able to get through all of them most weeks. Well, as of tonight i'm a full week behind. i just got through the pods for the week of valentines day. Now that puts me in the tough spot of deciding what ones get skipped. if your a pod listener you know how tough this decision can be. well, all this is just my long winded way of saying i haven't had time to post the last few weeks but i think it will get better soon, or at least i hope. So for those of you who have enjoyed the lack of posting from me it shan't last. i'm trying to record a music post for tomorrow night and i am about done writing a review of a on-line calender program. Stay tuned. laters, g

Well, it was a very hectic week. This is the 1st chance i have had to do much of anything and i decided to spend it here. This week i threw together an mp3 containing 2 songs i seem to be listening to a lot lately. And seeing how i tend to cycle thru music fast, if i spend a noticeable amount of time on one song i must like it.

the 1st track is by Slackstring and the 2nd is by Fat City Reprise , so if you like these tracks go check out more about the bands.

Here is the MP3

i'm guessing your a lot like me and you spend your free time trying to improve your verbal skills so you will be more popular at parties. i found a very useful site that gives you finely crafted sentences that will be sure to make you the center of attention at any gathering. Just spin a few of these out and watch everyone in ear shot drop there jaws in interest and admiration.
And remember, the oily Hugger covers you with computer chips with happy squatty midgets and nasty forks. Laters, g

This post i'm going to type my take on an online word processing program. The program is called Writely and can be found at Generic Link! . Now with what little i use word processors, a lot of the extras in most word processor software just gets in the way. i do some writing but it mostly consists of ... File Open New Document ... start typing. i have figured out Boarders and Headings, Line Space, Tables and such in the past but i use them so rarely that each time is like my 2nd. Basicly other then the spell check button i don't do much else. So, you ask, what makes me think im qualified to give my opinion on a word processor program? well im not, but ill give it anyway in case any of you are like me and just want to write without hassles. You may also wonder "Why on line? why not just use a normal program on your computer?" Cause its new and keen and different and...im a nerd who likes to try new things. Then i use my time figuring out how its useful later.

How this is useful to me:

1. Its lets you upload a document from your present processor program and keep it up on line so you can access it from work or a friends.
2. You can email or post to a blog right from the program. (and yes i wrote this post using it)
3. You can set up to share the creation and editing of a document so my plan to write a book with two other friends can happen this way.

You can save your documents from Writely to your desk top and convert it to some standard file types like Word, OpenOffice, RTF and HTML. also looks like you can get a PDF format but it might be with a pay version of Writely. Insert pictures, Tables and Links. You can even set Tags for your documents (now i don't know what the program does with those tags and after i post this it might be clear. but even if it doesn't do anything, its smart to add a button for Tags cause between putting the word Tag and Web2.0 on your product you're sure to have every techy trying to get your product)

Other ways it's useful, just not to me:

1. You can set up to share Writely with group so you can do things like a sign up list for your club of choice or meeting notes for the fantasy football draft.
   

2. And i'm sure an endless amount of other things i'd best leave to your imaginations and expertnesses.

my over all take on this is good. i haven't had any odd glitches and its been easy to set up and use. The spell check works well and as i have said that's very important for me. i'll most likely add a 2nd post after this is up to say how the post to Blog function worked. i'm guessing if it goes smooth i'll be writing a lot more posts this way. it really looks like it's more then your average home user would need, And maybe enough for the office. So if you're a more demanding word processor user i would love to hear your take on this. Laters all, g
