My google-fu faileth me. I have an iTunes library full of all of my ripped CDs. I’d like to use iTunes to manage that, by which I mean, when I rename something in iTunes, it’s nice to have it get renamed on the hard drive automatically. However, I also have a couple of directories of [...]

I’m in Minnesota. Where are you and how do I contact you?!?!

Um, yeah. I’ve been busy. It’s my weblog and I’ll slack if I want to. So, what to blog about? I’m already a little too late to blog about New Pope but I’m not going to let that stop me. I think the coolest thing about being Pope is that you get to pick a [...]

After unsuccessfully googling for something that would do that for me, I just wrote my own. (As you can probably guess from checking out the post below.) [...]

[Previously on IRC: tsohg has been raving about the wonders of flywheels for the past two or three days. After a particularly spirited rave, tsohg went afk. the_W made a disparaging joke about flywheels (which, alas, he didn't think to copy). tsohg came back, and was upset.] <the_W> tsohg, it was a joke * tsohg [...]
