When I was getting into the Greatful Dead a while ago, I always read that they had started as the Warlocks and as a jug band. Until recently, I had no idea what that meant. While listening to NPR this weekend, I heard a sound slightly familiar. It sounds a big like the Garcia and Grisman records I love, but there were quotes from all types of music, multiple instruments trading fours and eights, and too much improvisation. It eventually turned from folk to rock in a transformation I was perplexed by.
How did they do that?
Then I realized it was a jug band. I have no idea which one, but it's my new goal to hunt them down. More to follow. In the meantime, check out Country Joe and the Fish and Will Shade's Memphis Jug Band.
Opinion
I've been getting more involved in Slow Food recently. I have a garden, possible bee hive, and lots of other foodie related projects in the works.
Vanessa and I volunteered for this last weekend's Slow Crab event in the SF County Building in Golden Gate Park. What a blast! We'll now be on the "A" team for Slow Food events around the Bay Area organized by our friend, Vera. She is a wonderful cook and person.
Slow food, I feel, is missing some of the sustainability principles, but at least is getting people thinking about where their food comes from. The manifesto is basically a development of the mission "Good, Clean and Fair". If everything you consume (food or not) is good, clean and fair in all regards, from raw materials to distruction, then you're doing better than most Americans. Doing better is not what we're all after, though, we want to set some new guidelines like Queen Victoria did with manners and dress.

Programming
This is quick because I can't share much of what I've been doing these last few months. I've learned a lot, and have attempted to make programs in languages new to me (Java and Ruby mainly...on Android).
One thing that bugs me to high heaven is working on Linux boxes all day, and coming back to write documentation in Windows (something required of me) and missing all of the great command line tricks *nix gives you. One thing is tab completion.
There's an easy fix for this and it has to do with the registry. Since Windows 2000, the default completion character is the null character...and that doesn't work!
So, if you want tab completion, start regedit by Start > Run... > type 'regedit' > click OK.
Browse to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Command Processor
Change the value to REG_DWORD 0x09 (hex), which is the ASCII value for horizontal tab.

Um. Which command processor are you using - cmd.exe or command.com?
I get tab autocompletion by default in XP under cmd.
I never had it. Every new computer I get to work on that has XP has this issue and I have to go in and change it and pull down some linux command line tools (like ls, which, find, grep, etc.) so that I don't scare my neighbor, Kam. She looks at me funny sometimes, and she's HR, so I would like to scare her the least.
Weird. I have been on other computers that didn't have it before. I wonder if it's peculiar to the corporate version I'm using?
I don't use the command line much in Windows, so even though I spend most of my time with that OS, I still tend to type "ls" and such a lot when I do drop down to the prompt.
How can i wipe windows xp from my laptop and reinstall windows Me -the laptops original software?
I have recently bought a familiar laptop that is old. The living soul I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, even for all that it instance came with windows Me. I after to remove the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more memory than the windows Me would. Also I want to massacre windows xp because it is an wrongful copy. So when I tried to stir one's stumps updates on it, windows would not introduce updates because the windows xp is not genuine. [URL=http://ueoifur.justfree.com]alley cat figurines[/URL]
