A special 30 minutes Avalon Progressive Liveset of lower BPM stuff, most of it unreleased yet, tested live on 5FM radio station in South Africa, on DJ Fresh’s show, broadcasted on prime time to the whole country- half a million listeners tuned in!
Faith is looking forward to what’s on the other side of disillusionment.

I just sent the following email to some cow orkers. It took me ages to dig up the links. It always takes me ages, so I’m blogging it as a bookmark.
Here are two excellent references for my religious perspective on typesetting and layout of body copy. It will take you less than 10 minutes to read both articles, I promise. You will:
Better argument than the article below, and more recent. But only covers font size. You have to read beyond the guy’s marketing bias to recognize that what he’s saying applies even to transactional body copy.
The 100% Easy-2-Read StandardGoes beyond font size. Rocked my world back in 2006. The web should be this way.
Readability AddonOnce you’ve read this stuff and gotten inspired for the future and depressed for the present… You can get an idea of what the world wide web might be like if everyone followed these guidelines, by checking out an awesome browser plugin/addon called Readability.
I guarantee you, it’ll increase your attention span, and suck your soul out through your eyeballs less. Or your money back. ;-)
Because it took me an hour to find out… To set the HTTP Referer for a request in a cucumber step definition using capybara with the default driver (Capybara::RackTest::Driver):
referer = 'http://example.com/' Capybara.current_session.driver.header 'Referer', referer visit '/'
Note that this persists for the remainder of the session. If you know how you’re supposed to unset an header, please be nice and leave a comment.
Landmark moment. I finally wrote some decent code.
I cut myself
I want you to cut me
When I’m feelin’ down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don’t cut anybody else
When I think about you
I cut myself
My first project using my birthday present. I haven’t put much effort into the drum track, because this is music for me to drum to. :-)
30 second sound byte from last night’s noodling around in FL Studio. It’s a surprise every time when I look at the clock and realize that four hours have passed. I think I enjoy pursuits in which the joy of creation overwhelms the joy of possession.
I got a Roland A-800PRO MIDI Keyboard Controller for my birthday! So excited!
