Traveling Riverside Blues

Tags: blues, music, quote, reference, stuff, things

I just got Eric Clapton's new album Me and Mr. Johnson, and I love it! Play me the blues!

If you don't know who Robert Johnson is you should probably learn more about the history of the blues. He is the blues guitarist who if he didn't write them at least made the earliest recordings of 29 songs that have inspired many blues and rock and roll artists. I would've titled this entry "Cross Roads Blues", however, Eric didn't include a recording of the song on the album. Instead, I have titled it "Traveling Riverside Blues" because Eric borrows elements from it in all of his renditions of "Crossroads" that I've heard.

I'm going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby,
On the riverside.

"…you know what I'm talkin' 'bout."

Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle

Tags: reference, release, search, software, subversion, world

If you didn't notice, I finally released version 1.2 of my Search Engine. Now, to take over the world...

Or, to do other stuff. Like converting all my old CVS stuff (like Search and Spectre) to Subversion.

Electric Pencil Sharpener

Tags: release, software, stuff, things

Huzzah, I released Spectre! It's the Samba automagic mounter thingy that I referred to in NSIS Is My Friend (Sometimes).

And now, you will die!
