Branford Marsalis starts a new record label. "We guarantee that we will give artists the freedom to make great music." [Scripting News] A few years ago, Youssou N'dour started his own record label, based in Dakar to support local talent. This is a good sign. Musicians are taking control back from the big record companies. I hope this trend continues. 9:38:51 PM    Comments []

I got Carbon Event timers working. My client sets a timer to fire when it's scheduled to call the server and then calls RunApplicationEventLoop, which simply sleeps because it has nothing else to do. I see that it uses no CPU time while it's sleeping, just as it did when I was simply calling sleep(). However, I still need to notify the main loop when the communication thread finishes, so it can reset the timer to fire at the new time specified. 3:08:45 PM    Comments []

Morons in the News: Another Miami-Dade Arrest. Another arrest has been made in the case of the massive vote fraud perpetrated by the criminals at Take Back Miami-Dade... [Morons Dot Org] Watching the melt-down of "Take Back Miami-Dade" is like a train wreck or the Anna Nicole Smith show. Even as they're proven liars they claim their campaign is energized & they still think they're going to win. Every major politician has spoken out against them. 2:05:54 PM    Comments []
