Eva’s gift to me this year was a speedbag stand and installation. This new toy beats any video game. No contest.
Thank you, Eva!
It was nice to have someone I trusted doing the assembly and mounting.

Happy Holidays, Have some Powder
Here’s a video from White Pass, WA. This is Andy Mahre, wearing a helmet cam.
This should make you want to get out in the snow.

Forced Remote Firefox
If a local instance of Firefox is running and you ssh into a remote machine (while forwarding X connections locally) a remotely invoked Firefox may simply open a new window in the local instance. Here’s a workaround (spoiler: use the -no-remote command-line flag).

Elegant Lead Sheets are Back!
As the holidays are fast approaching, many musicians will be called forth to back a multitude of sing-alongs. Be prepared! Musicians that care memorize or use sheet music, and nerdy musicians love Chordie!
Chordie turns text files with embedded chord names into beautiful, stafless PostScript lead sheets.
Chordie is a fork of Chord, and is written in under 5,000 lines of K&R C. Chordie currenly only runs on *NIX-like operating systems, but there may be ports to other operating systems someday.
