iTunes 4.5

New version of iTunes (for Win & Mac) is out.
Featuring new Party Shuffle, iMix (for sharing your playlists) and Apple Lossless Encoder..
Pick it up here!

Caution - To all those here for the first time, BEWARE!

Whether you have come here intentionally (which would be quite surprising), or completely by mistake and have decided to read on, I have to warn you that once in a while, my cheerful amigo there mich, will produce an unlimited amount of uncomprehensible psychobabble which sounds something like this::

"The `vacuum` command (or the vacuumdb shell script) will garbage collect your db.
If you run it together with the analyzer option, it will calculate statistics for use by the
optimizer... As an example, I just gained a factor 30 of increased query speed on a table
in one of my databases"


This is due to a condition which has surfaced in the last couple of years, closely associated with Turret's syndrome and manic depressive confinement. It is not dangerous at first, but is utterly USELESS to most people who have enough neurons to make that whole 'hand-eye coordination' thing work.

I suggest that when you see this gagababble, simply run to the next paragraph, basically, to what I have to say. (unless of course mich has a moment of lucidity and writes anything about jugs, sex, beer, dumps, blogs, ghettos and hoes.

You've been warned

Tada

postgresql

If you are a postgresql user/admin and you've never used `vacuum analyze` - then you are in for a treat. The `vacuum` command (or the vacuumdb shell script) will garbage collect your db. If you run it together with the analyzer option, it will calculate statistics for use by the optimizer...
As an example, I just gained a factor 30 of increased query speed on a table in one of my databases...

All hail postgres..

Now with comments..
The title really says it all - now go away.
Yo, speaking of the music industry.. they are having some trouble.. EMI France just laid off a couple singers - Ophelie Winter, etc. I say this is doing the music industry some good! at least we don't have to listen to shit like Ophelie anymore.. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! Deal with it you BASTARDS! But seriously, do they think they're going to convince us to give them any MORE money? I mean why pay for the music that is already free.. hmmm.. I don't get that logic at all.

For once we're showing those greedy bastards at the top that they, too, can experience the well known sensation of SHIT HITTING THE FAN, which all of us normal earthlings deal with daily. I say "long live the internet" .. and beer
so here's my first post on our much-loved blog.

yeah, work as usual, the weather's great, and I'm really looking forward to getting some food, although i get that feeling all the time... I love food.. mmm fooood.

I think i'm going home, I'm sick of work for today.. that's it, I've had enough.
Oh.. increasing the price for online music - that's going to help the improve sales..
According to Macworld five of the top labels are pushing for the increase - and a song from iTunes could increase from 99 cents to a whopping $2.49 - making it (alot) more expensive to download the songs, than to purchase the album.

The blog is online and ready for abuse.. so here goes..
Well, today was another one of those days, where I wished I could stay home and sleep.. They seem to follow each other closer and closer every day.

Convinced 'da boss' that we need to do major upgrades in our test lab.. The home-built table on which we test fairly expensive network equipment, needs to be changed - one of those roller-tables is what we need.. Also need a couple of TFT monitors, so we can move the monitors around without breaking our backs !!
FREAK!
Welcome

I was here first...
