Give Us The Beam

Posted Mon, 08/27/2007 - 10:58 by Tim

If you were so inclined, you could download this mp3 file, which is a mix of various house/techno/minimal/maximal/whatever tunes done in Ableton Live by myself.

Give Us The Beam (99 MB mp3)

It was put together with my friend Will in mind. Will currently works at CERN in Geneva as part of the ALPHA project (warning: that page is very 1996, <BLINK> tag and all), trying (as I understand it) to trap and/or construct anti-hydrogen. Sometimes they play more heady-but-not-overly-complicated techno like this, as it helps them work.

It should go without saying that all music contained herein is copyright the respective artists and that I claim no ownership or right on any of it.

Enjoy! Or, don't.

viva la chenille plant!

Posted Thu, 08/23/2007 - 10:30 by Tim

It seems to be doing well. From scraggly nothingness (due to my neglect/water-starving the plant to try and kill all the fungus gnats that had started living in the soil) to beautiful red caterpillars. Hoorah.

Chart For Choosing Your Preferred Presidential Candidate

Posted Mon, 08/06/2007 - 17:31 by Tim

A chart outlining the stances of the 18 current presidential hopefuls on a large variety of issues.

I, embarrassingly, only now know who the 18 candidates are. And perhaps unsurprisingly, I don't want to vote for any of them.

..and yes, if you care to comment you'll need to make an account, for the time being. I'll open it up eventually, but I want to put a captcha mechanism in front of anonymous comments so I don't get spammed.

Just think of all the things you can do with an account at TimCosgrove.net!

Update: Nevermind, I installed captcha. reCaptcha at that, a project to improve OCR'd scans of public domain books as you test users. See, if you comment, you do a bit of public service. Of course, if you make an account you won't see any captcha anymore.

Drupal (and the vibrant and active Drupal community) sure makes some things really easy!

Hello world, etc

Posted Mon, 08/06/2007 - 16:13 by Tim

I've decided that it's high time to use my own site again, post about things, etc. Now that I have a fair amount of Drupal hacking under my belt, I feel comfortable using it as the base CMS for things here.

I don't plan on doing anything crazy, but it would be nice to have a location for random posting, news, things I find interesting. And I know you're all on the edge of your seats, right? Can't wait!

More soon. There's still a lot of configuring to do.

Technology Flux Madness!

Posted Fri, 07/27/2007 - 11:38 by Tim

Hey! In the past two weeks I have:

Got a 24" widescreen monitor (quadruple woot)
lost my main work/personal harddrive to the entropy suck (judges give it a 5.8 of suck! plus extra points for innovation in awfulness)
got an iPhone (octuple wootz0rz! or, tim is an utter apple tool!)

So, 1 is just yay go me. 3 is debatable as to whether it's of interest, except that the phone really IS that good, yes it has issues and ethical quandaries but it is so goshdarn SATISFYING to use it. You really have to play with it hands-on before you judge it.

But the important thing here really is #2, because if you're my friend there's a good chance that I've lost ALL my contact info for you. (Do I backup? Well, I back up now...) I still have some phone numbers, but I've lost all my e-mail, and my addresses, and well pretty much everything. So, get in touch with me and give me your digits and other characters too, that I might speak with thee.

xoxo

OMG That looked terrible!

What was I thinking. Had to shave it all off. It's starting to come back in.

I kind of like having a webcam.

New Orleans trip

Posted Sun, 06/03/2007 - 20:41 by Tim

I went to New Orleans this past weekend. I'm too tired at the moment to write anything of substance, but it was an amazing place. Very warm people, beautiful architecture. The devastated areas are heart-breaking, but people are working hard all over the city to rebuild it. I can't wait to go back.

I took a bunch of pictures. Enjoy!
