New World of Warcraft UI
Addons I used:
- Unit Frames (top left): ag_unitframes (recently switched to X-Perl though)
- Top bar: FuBar with lots of addons (QuestsFu gives me the custom quest log)
- Action bars (bottom): Bongos with cyCircled addon to make the buttoms look glassy
- Minimap: Squeenix
- Minimap Buttoms: MBB (Minimap Button Box, hides all buttons into one expandable one)
Foobar2000 Interface Crashing / Win16 Subsystem Resources
The foobar interface crashes frequently throughout the day on 2 of the computers here at this company. The screen goes all transparent and almost nothing is visible. See image:
I have found out one thing though, if I try to open an old 16 bit application after this has happened, it spits out an error:
This error won’t stop appearing when I open 16 bit apps until I reboot my PC.
Update: I believe I have solved this problem. I backed up, then removed all the files that have to do with this program and reinstalled and I haven’t seen this happen since.
Reflexer – City of the Sun [New Song Demo]
My latest song, obviously incomplete if you listen to the whole short thing. Cakewalk was glitching out on me and buzzing all the time so I got fed up and just left it in as the outro 
Normal Version

WordPress Theme Resetting
Problem: WordPress theme on my site was reverting/resetting back to the default occasionally.
Why: I had a subdomain where the site used to be (basically another copy of the site running in a different location with the same database), and any time something browses to that website, the theme gets reset.
Solution: Get rid of the other site.
My New Rickenbacker 360 JG!
I set out today to get something different than my other guitars. I have a 12 string acoustic, a 6 string travel acoustic, a 6 string Epiphone Explorer and an ESP 7 string. This definitely is different. It’s a hollow body, with lots of controls, looks completely different, has smaller frets, glossy fretboard and a bunch more. It sounds different than anything I have and the tone controls are better than anything I’ve used on regular guitars. It even has 2 output jacks!
FYI this guitar raised in price a few days before I bought it, by about $630 CDN. I was lucky enough to get the old price!
Christmas Music that doesn’t Suck!?
A Very Ping Pong Christmas – Funky Treats From Santa’s Bag
by Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra
Probably my favorite artist as of lately has made a Christmas album, in the same style as his other albums… stylish retro funky jazz. It’s Christmas music that doesn’t suck, I swear!

Review: One of the funkiest Holiday albums you’ll ever hear — a great set of instrumentals that’s every bit as great as the other work by Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra, but which has a special Christmas focus as well! All the tunes here are familiar carols, but Shawn does them with a hip instrumental groove that’s got plenty of snapping drums on the bottom — and lots of cool flourishes from vibes, keyboards, and guitar over the top! This is definitely the right sort of CD to spice up any sort of Holiday gathering– and it features wonderful funky takes on “Little Drummer Boy”, “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “Do You Hear What I Hear”, “My Favorite Things”, “Jingle Bells”, “Deck The Halls”, “Silent Night”, and “Carol Of The Bells”. – Dusty Groove America
