No and/or Little Motivation and/or Inspiration

December 23rd, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized

Ah. I’m away from the usual location of work sloggery for a glorious few days of detachment. The grinding of lab has been left back behind four hundred and seventy-seven miles (plus one, for the google map uncatchable on-ramps) of chilly roads. However, my work ethic seems to have been abandoned with my work, and I am quite happily sitting around here not typing. Mostly. If I were to be typing it would probably be about:

  1. The niceness of having a laptop loaded with music on-hand
  2. The realization that 1 would be unecessary (or more convenient) given a year of technological advances (alright, I know this doesn’t make much sense when compactified into this subtle little description. What the muttering is hinting at is that I shouldn’t have had to copy everything over – it should all be streamable)
  3. God, what was three?

So this post is more a motivational effort then anything else, sorry about the lack of content; ideally it’s an inroad to more, actually, interesting things. We shall see how that pans out…

    I wonder how much bandwidth it would take to stream the whole recorded classical repertoire, from, say, Monteverdi on in lossless files? Probably less than is already being used for Hollywood’s output.

    I think it’s pretty close to happening… actually I’m imagining everyone having their own hoe media servers which you connect to from pretty much anywhere…
