I think I want a Ducati Hypermotard for Christmas.
weekend
Not a bad weekend. Couple gatherings. “Everyday is Halloween” at badgers, including way more food than can be consumed.
Tried a new setup sunday over at badgers. More of a keyboad/softsynth thing. Basic idea is two keyboards and two soft synths, and some basic external post processing and looping. Hardware end seems okay, but not surprisingly, the software was more troubleprone.
I tried hosting two Reaktor softsynths in Cubase and setting up the routing I wanted, but it didn’t seem to want to cooperate. Then tried it in a demo version of Ableton Live, which seemed to work a little better, but eventually crashed as well. Need to figure out whats most stable before the show on Friday. But the demo version doesn’t allow you to save any configs, which is annoying, and the full fledged version is a bit pricy. Are there any good reasonably prices VSTi hosts for osx that won’t crash?
Went to the Laurie Anderson show afterwards. Pretty cool. Had an interesting coincidence. Discussed Project A119 on the trip over, which was then referenced in the show. A119 was a plan to detonate a atomic bomb on the moon. Apparently Robert McNamara mentions this in Fog Of War.

failures
Having gone though most of a Mechanical Engineering course, one thing you heard over and over were descriptions of famous disasters. Probably the most famous is the Tacomas
Narrows Bridge. Today marks 65 years since it’s collapse.
The other two examples that were constantly used includes the Kansas City Hyatt Regency and the Challenger explosion.

co-op and job posititions
If anyone is looking for a coop position at Red Hat, we’re looking for two co-ops for
the Red Hat Network group. Experience in Java is a plus.
Co-op Applications Software Engineer 1
and Co-op Applications Software Engineer 2
Job Perks: no pay and the experience of working with me!
We also have a couple regular positions available:
For example, Senior Software Engineer,
another Senior Software Engineer,
and Software Engineer.\
Those positions are a bit more open ended, but experience in systems management, Java, Python, and Perl is a good start.
Job Perks: We pay you, and you still get to work with me!
games
So, on a whim, I bought a ps2. I haven’t owned a gaming console newer than an Atari 2600 before. So I’m looking for games.
I currently have Tony Hawks American Wasteland and FIFA Soccer 2006.
The latter seems kind of boring, but then I’ve never been much for sports games. Tony Hawk isn’t bad so far.
So what are good ps2 games? I haven’t a clue what kind of modern games I like. I have a short attention span.
