Quiet on the blogging front – wave bye bye, say hello

job, SeeWhy, SpecSavers, Work

I’ve been a little on the quiet side on the blogging front, as I’ve been busy with work related activities.

Firstly getting SeeWhy’s first SeeWhy for JBoss jBPM customer up and running on a platform combination we’ve not really dealt with much before namely JBoss 4.2.2 on Red Hat Linux. Taking into account the fact that the installation included setting up the environment and a jBPM source machine the install went very quickly and smoothly.

Secondly, I shall be parting company with SeeWhy in the New Year for pastures new, and green (literally) as I’ll be going to work for Specsavers as an Integration Architect. The Specsavers interview process has been an interesting experience which included, psychometrics tests, stand up presentations, and technical exams, along with the traditional face to face conversation.

So in January I’d imagine that my blogging activities will be a bit on the slow side as I’ll be pretty busy getting my feet under the desk as they say with the new job.

Cat Power – Dark End Of The Street EP

Dark End Of The Street EP

Dark End Of The Street EP

Cat Power has according to her Record Label released a new EP released as two 10″ vinyl discs or as a digital download. As much as I like having vinyl, practicality dictates I dont get it – as I’m rapidly running out of storage space, not to mention generally mail order vinyl doesn’t arrive in immaculate condition very often. So I have to settle for the digital option.  I go to the obvious places to try buy the download – Amazon, HMV and so on – I’m trying very hard to avoid iTunes as I dont like its ethos. However no mention of the release. So I use our beloved Google, and get loads of hits from dodgy websites and nothing from online stores that I know to be legitimate. what is the point of priming the music press if you don’t follow through? It does leave me wondering why is it the music industry is moan ing about bit torrent and Russian online record stores with suspect licensing setups, if when they control press releases, have strong relationships with major music retailors cant get everything lined up?

In the end I’ve had to conceed to going to iTunes, purchasing the download and burning it to an audio and then back to MP3 so I can listen to the EP through my Slim Server – very annoying.
