Making of Javantea's Fate 343

Greetings once again. Today's lesson is access and connectivity. I explained to two of my hacker friends that I had a legit use for Peer 2 Peer software and was unable to get it to work due to difficulties that are absolutely silly. I would like to remedy this problem. What I need is a easy to use program that can copy a 3 MB file from a user's computer to a file on another user's computer. Simple, right? The user has Hotmail which will not allow 3 MB file. Try 1: fail.

I've been gone a week or so. Why? I've been working on Hack Mars and I haven't had anything really interesting come up. Today, I did a bunch of stuff. The picture is a dev picture. It shows you what I have so far to work with. Harsh, huh? One of these days. You see the mini version of the PDA which is the HM interface to everything electronic. The numbers 0-10 are printed centered in cells of the 5x10 table whose bounds are defined by the 256x256 texture.

I'm pretty tired. I fell asleep before dinner tonight. My friend called and woke me up late, so I've been working on interesting stuff. I got midi to work in Linux, finally. I've written everything down so that others may walk the trail I have blazed. My trail is so new, it just came out weeks ago in the 2.6.3 patch. Support for emu10k1 asfxload was added. Of course, it was possible to get midi using sfxload, but this is really something new. So I listened to my old list of midis tonight. But just last night I told you that listening to other people's midis is not the purpose of my midi adventure. So I thought about how I can use midi to my advantage. Takashi Iwai's virtual keyboard will be my first experiment. I will connect it to aseqview so that I can view what is going on when I press the keys.

Greetings. I guess it's just another day. I spent a bunch of the day working on midi. Yes, midi. Many people may ask: "Why does a person want midi when there's mp3 and even ogg?" Back in the day I totally fell in love with midi. Midi was my mp3 back in the day. I had reaper.mid (given to me by a friend over IRC if you can imagine) and brikwall.mid. A whole list of midis in fact. I still have them (2 MB) right there next to my 6 GB ogg/mp3 collection (all legal if you are wondering). The thing about midi today is not the same as mp3 today. Mp3/Ogg today is about getting some music or distributing your music.
