Music section on kerusan.org

I have updated my site kerusan.org with a little music section. I will there publish my own songs that I create and talk a little about my view on music and related areas.

Update: I just updated it again with another tune.

I have a dream

Since a long time ago I have been having a dream to operate/own a Mac with 64000 processors. I cant see any solutions to many problems without one. I now only hope that I will see this in my lifetime. Mac Pro had 1 processor at first then 2, now it has 4, and the latest rumors says that 8 is not far away, well after that comes 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, and then 65536. That counts to approximately 13 update to Mac Pro. If Apple releases 1 major upgrade to Mac Pro every 1,5 years (I guess that processors in computers follows Moore's law) then it could be true in 20+ years. I may be able to see that if I have health and luck. I think I'll have to start now to build those apps I was thinking about.

What about storage

Since Steve started to talk about "the digital hub" all media files has been centered around iTunes. iTunes keeps, plays, organize, syncs more and more types of media like music, pod-casts, video, films, photos and games. Ok it is wonderful to know that I have only one place/app to look/learn to manage it all. But since my main computer is an MacBook Pro all the storage I have to put all this is on is the internal hard-drive that keeps 92.84 GB. That is not much if you have put in your music-library some pod-casts and your photos, don't even think about movies. So what is the strategy. Even Steve must have more media-files than that.

iTunes is becoming more and more complex, soon we don't need to use Finder we can do all things in iTunes. Kidding. But is it only me that lack some strategy to save things. I have long waited for some extra slot on my MacBook Pro to put in another hard-drive but I have not found any that fits into the pc-express slot. So what to do? Anybody have solved this?

All I can think of is to store all my media on a fileserver, but I don't think iTunes like that. And if it had done that it would surely been a loot more like Finder. Hey Apple please think on something before you release Leopard.

Update:
It doesn't seems like I'm the only guy in town with this problem.. Her is an article from MacSlash named 'Managing iTunes Movies Apart From Music?'.

Home again

It took us 49 hours to get home from NZ. It shouldn't but our plane to Sweden from London was defunct so they had to fly another one from Stockholm to take us home, and that took about 5 hours more than planed. The trip was wonderful. - NOT - Just kidding. Trying to sleep sitting up is not my thing and I hate long flights, so I'm not going to bore you with details. Just wanna tell you that we are home now safe and sound.

Our house was a bit cold though, I had turned down the heat so we have to sleep with hot water Coca Cola bottles in our beds the this night. I hope that the jet-lag wont keep us awake too much tonight.

Last day

Last whole day in NZ. Sad and wistful. Today we went down to Christchurch city center to do some shopping and enjoy the lovely weather. Going down to Cathedral-square we where having a tremendous day. As I said earlier NZ people (and the tourists ofcouse) where also having a nice late summer day with no stress like they seems to be spared from. We looked at jugglers, street chess, listened to Los Incas playing the street, went up in the church tower, ate some falafel and some lovely ice-cream made from fresh frozen berries and enjoyed.

We met a Swedish girl that had lived and married in NZ, now working on a Christchurch newspaper as photographer. She confirmed our feelings about NZ and did not seemed any longing for leaving this country.

Maybe I sound overly positive about this country because our holiday is soon ending. But even if I take off half of my admire for this country I still find myself over the level I have ever felt about a country, its culture and pace. We have only met 2 frustrated people in 18 days, and we have met so many people loving what they do and having time with each-other and strangers. It is not only the landscape that is breathtaking it is also its people.
