AIBrainz (Mar 31 2004 00:59 GMT) - Here's a little, simple-as-possible Perl script I put together for finding tracks missing from album folders. It moves through a music collection, queries MusicBrainz (using AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrai and, if the number of tracks doesn't match, produces a list of the missing tracks for each album. It also incidentally downloads the cover art from Amazon for each album and saves it in the album folder. |

- ~~~~~~~FROG LITLast night after dinner, having dived under the table to catch the frog, the frog that in the froggy way kept hopping just out of reach (the crafty cold-blooded creature having earlier managed to hop out of the rain and into the house when the door was held open for a moment to shake a raincoat), I was just about to grab him (most frogs I write about are male for some reason) when all at once His Greenness stopped and, forelimbs akimbo in a forthright pose, gazed earnestly upward at the towering stack of books under the table. I stopped too, intrigued by this amphibian's sudden intellectual attitude as he virtually sought to grasp the ungraspable in all its glory, gazing much as we gaze at the stars, arrayed there before him like a cosmos of knowledge, drawn perhaps by titles that had nothing whatsoever to do with frogs, which no doubt was a first for him. Or perhaps he felt dwarfed by the multifrog size of a stack of a literature comprising other than endlessly intoned repetitions of ribbet; in any case, he froze at the grand sight, obviating the need for me to call upon my boyhood-acquired amphibian-outsmarting wiles; I captured him no problem. |

- This isn't really "crappy" customer-service, just dorky. A week or so ago, I got a notice in the mail that I'd been pre-approved for an AmEx Rewards Green card, no fee for the first year, blah blah blah. Since there's all sorts of perks and stuff, I go ahead and sign up and get my AmEx Green card. It arrives yesterday. Today I make a run to the colo, so I "break it in" to get the "first use bonus points" (5,000 extra points or something like that) by getting some gas. |

- At the beginning of the season, Lil G and I made a bet that the Cleveland Cavaliers would fail to make the playoffs. This seemed like a great bet at the beginning of the season... the Cavs had been so terrible for so long that even Bron-Bron wasn't going to get them in. Well, as expected, the East is terrible. Carlos Boozer stepped up his game in a big, big way, and a meth-filled weekend got Danny Ainge to dismantle his Celtics and take on Ricky Davis. |
