Where are the developers?

I've graduated in CS in 2004 and have been working with programming since 2003. Experienced mostly with .NET, but I'm willing to take any PHP, Python, Java, C++ or whatever you guys need.

Okay Reddit, what bands do you think have gotten BETTER with time?

cyclops79 26 points27 points 2 months ago[-]

I love Tool, but there's no way that 10,000 Days was any better than... well, anything they ever released before.

Seconded.

DEP is getting better and better with each album. The new single is great, can't stop listening to it.

[8] What are your favorite artists/CD's to listen to while incredistoned?

cyclops79 0 points1 point 2 months ago[-]

Just checked the list, and there's a lot of bands that I'm already a fan... Big Business, Botch, Harvey Milk, Pelican... definitely gonna check the rest, thanks! :)

Damn, Isis! Isis is great!

I posted my list, but every comment that I read I go "damn, forgot about this one!"

cyclops79 0 points1 point 2 months ago[-]

[0] I like Zeppelin, but somehow it makes more sense when you're high... same with Pink Floyd... I think there's something about bands from the 70's being already connected with drugs in general that creates a special bonding in these moments...

damn, GY!BE is great, high or not.

[8] What are your favorite artists/CD's to listen to while incredistoned?

cyclops79 0 points1 point 2 months ago* [-]

[0] completely sober for longer than I wanted to, but what I listen to high usually falls under some categories...

  • math/noise music that only makes sense when you're high: Hella, Lightning Bolt, Don Caballero, Battles
  • jazz: mainly Charles Mingus and Miles Davis
  • extremely long shit: Fantômas' Delìrium Còrdia, Lustmord, Melvins' Lysol (the whole album), Om
  • I don't know how to classify this, but if the mood is right, anything with female vocals that is cute enough: Sleater-Kinney, Garbage, Cat Power...
  • post-rock: GY!BE, Mogwai, A Silver Mt. Zion

there's a lot more, but that's what I remember now

Issues with E-MU 0404 PCI in Windows 7 - no sound

cyclops79 [S] 0 points1 point 3 months ago[-]

Yes, I disabled it in the Device Manager.

I hadn't installed the E-MU Patch Mix app until now, so I thought I'd give it a try. Now even the meter in Playback devices won't move anymore :(

I'm really close to installing WinXP again, but I'm really enjoying Win7 so far...

Issues with E-MU 0404 PCI in Windows 7 - no sound

The Audigy is disabled right now, still nothing.

I tried everything before I even installed the Audigy, so I don't know if it's making any difference.

Issues with E-MU 0404 PCI in Windows 7 - no sound

cyclops79 [S] 0 points1 point 3 months ago[-]

Yes. In fact, I can only play the test sound with 48KHz, any other configuration yields a "cannot play test sound - device in use" warning.

YSK that the company name "Häagen-Dazs" is simply two made-up words meant to look Scandinavian to American eyes -- a practice known as "foreign branding".

Scott Meyer (of Basic Instructions) to do an AMA on Wednesday 18th!

Feel free to ask about the comic, my former stand-up comedy career, working at Walt Disney World

I didn't know he worked at Disney. Doing what?

Whoa, a couple days ago there were only like 850 subscribers. Now there are 1,136. Nice growth!

cyclops79 2 points3 points 4 months ago[-]

This morning I was going through the subreddits and subscribing to interesting ones I hadn't heard about yet, this was one of them.

A couple of hours later, checking reddit, I notice this thread. "trees subreddit? when the fuck and why the fuck did I subscribe to a trees subreddit?"

Then I click the link and "oh... damn weed...". Anyway, why the fork? I was away for a couple of weeks and have no idea what happened in /r/marijuana.

30 Songs in 30 Days challenge! This looks interesting.

cyclops79 0 points1 point 4 months ago[-]

I'm in the same situation as you... also, I'm going to help some friends to organize a homerecording course, and something like this would definitely motivate me to try and record something.

As TheDeadMethod poited out, the site looks questionable, at best. And I need more than 2 days to set up my equipment and get some songs together.

Oh, and 30 songs in 30 days?? Sounds a little rushed to me... something like RPM would be better.

I think we should organize a WATMM-only (or Reddit-only) version of this, but in the 30-days-1-album (10 songs or 35 minutes, like RPM) format.

Anyone interested? Suggestions?
