Predixis MusicMatch. — correction: Predixis MusicMagic
I don’t know when this hit winamp’s featurelist, but it is a beautiful beautiful wonderful feature. yes, i wish it did its magic by somehow analyzing each individual trac and gleanning the beat, mood, style, feeling to interpolate that into automatic educated playlists, so that it wouldn’t need to know the music in order to match them. however, its library of knowledge is really quite impressive, and its matching ability is even more impressive. it’s my new very good friend. i still listen to my music by loading all the thousands and then hitting “shuffle” and “repeat”, but then once a song hits that fits my mood, i run musicmatch on it, enqueue those, and let it continue on shuffle as it cycles through those mood-fitting songs before continuing on its random path.
i haven’t tried the standalone program… just discovered it as a feature in winamp a month or so ago. *happy*

{ 6:26 PM } Having watched Crash: why do people have to be so self-oppressive, and then take out their problems on others, perpetuating the cycle? why are consequences based more on result, rather than intent? how come context is so secret and hidden and under-acknowledged? it’s everything. context is everything. people are not all created equal, they are not all raised and treated equally — and nor should they be. the only thing that should be remotely enforced to be equal, is decency; decency and compassion and respect/interest. butterfly effect. everything matters.
{ 6:46 PM } i stayed home sick today. started as a scratch in my throat a few days ago, and has gotten progressively worse. it’s more uncomfortable than anything else, with varying symptoms and varying intensities thorughout the day. particularly bad on the train rides home, where i guess the dry air closes my throat up and tickles it, inducing a feeling of constriction and necessary large coughing. last night was miserable, as was the waking up several times in the night, and being thoroughly clogged up in the morning. i was advised a cough drop called Cold-eeze, which I am assured will murder my cold in just 3-4 days. but to be safe, i’ve also added a pack of Luden’s assorted berry and a pack of Robitussin Honey/tea-flavored cough drops, and a pack of Day & Night Sinus Therapy from EckeRxd. And stayed in bed much and using many tissues and drinking much water. Drastic improvement from this morning: I can breathe out of both nostrils now.
Brother’s done with exams and classes for this term. Happy him.
Parents visited grandmother these past few days.
I want to eat ice cream, but dun think it’ll make my thorat happy.
Back to Crash: First of all, it was a good movie. Good actors, good segments, good weaving, very good. Second of all, I really shouldn’t watch movies like that by myself. I still want to know what the evolutionary/intelligent reason is for emotional crying. Just don’t make much sense to me. I need a fun, funny, upbeat, cool sci-fi/action/adventure/fantasy movie. Except that pretty much all good, remotely serious/realistic films draw upon humanity and human courage / spirit / cruelty / selfishness / strength / conviction / generosity / simplicity / greatness. I have yet to come up with even a basic explanation for what any of that has to do with tear ducts, but nonetheless..
i haven’t been writing here: partly because i don’t really have time to be writing, mostly because i feel guilty that if i have time to be writing here, then i have time to be tending to at least one or something of the multitude of items currently on my backburner.
so i’ll make this quasi short lest i wreck in my guilt.
tons of stuff has happened/is happening. we moved successfully. more on that later. now a second move is taking place. more on that later. Baby Blue Bytes, the definitely-well-loved but unfortunately-unwarrantied Toshiba Satellite 5205-s703 is dead on the operating table. when i have a bit of money and time, i shall see about resurrecting the dead. meanwhile, please welcome Danium, the Satellite M40. Dani is joined by:
- Sylvia, the 1600×1200 pixel replacement of BBB’s gorgeous 15” UXGA screen,
- Benny the hub and Benny’s identical twin,
- Hallow the 300 GB multimedia-storage unit (to counterpart Casey, the existing Maxtor One-touch),
- and last but not least (however the smallest package) we have Baby Brain, which was surgically removed from BBB and now lives in a very efficient little Bytecc external case and does its job surprisingly happily.
I have discovered Newegg, and I am pleased.
Also thoroughly broke.
okay, the rest pending.

or the quick currently…..
my computer, my beautiful 5205-s703, is essentially dead. more on that later.
this comes at a really horrendous time. websites need to be built ASAP, house is being moved and everything is everywhere and a mess and people around are stressed and stressful. and now i need a computer. now.
So, my darling little notebook computer decided it was absolutely not enough that its spine was broken. Knowing that i don’t have time to be letting it sit in a repair center for days, being in the midst of moving, and having pressing websites that are due for launch within two weeks, my sweet, adorable computer decided yesterday to present me with a black screen of death:
<WINDOWS ROOT>\system32\hal.dll is corrupt or missing. Please reinstall.
Or something or other. I am very displeased. first thing Monday morning, it goes to the surgeon. I do not have time for this.
On a side note, today’s moon is bright and happily humungous.
