Flashbake and Hermes Quinn

Mar 14, 2011 15:50

I can't remember if I've posted this before but I find the concept to be cool. Flashbake is versioning control for writers. It will take a snapshot of the files you set it to, and also pull in weather, and music you're listening to at the time to give a little bit of context of what was happening at the time when you were writing.

Very neat.

Linux and Mac OSX only at the moment.

I have to get working in Linux more again. I got all excited about Windows 7 because the Windows version I've been stuck with for the past... way too many years, was XP. I think it's time to get back into Linux now though. That being said, I watch DVDs in Linux at the moment, because I'm not sure about my issue with watching commercial DVDs in Windows 7 at the moment. One thing I'm wondering about is the PATA dvd drive since it does have analog audio out. I thought I remembered hearing that they disabled the built in DVD playback unless the chain is completely digital.

I found this old story I worked on a few years ago in Ottawa, Hermes Quinn: Disembodied Dimensional Hostage. Half comedy, half action/seriousness, half pink wispy feet smoke. I found this and wondered why I didn't keep going with it, and then remembered bit and pieces of the story, but I couldn't remember the music I had it set to in my head. I tend to do that. Which brings me back to flashbake...

Edit: I remember the song for the one part. Go figure it was The Mars Volta's Day Of The Baphomets. The Chase. [happy with self]
