We live as long as we fly
The team lead just told us how combine operators in his village used to hunt roe deer. It's a sad story, but there you have it.
They chase a roe deer with a combine harvester. It has a hard time running through the grain field, so the combine catches up with it and cuts off its legs. Then the combine operator gets out, finishes the roe deer off with a crowbar, and takes a fair amount of quality meat home.
Top of 2006. The top is so-so, because the music this year is not mind-blowing.
Wrote a lot of comments, but everything got lost. So I'll reconstruct it super briefly.
The rating is ease of listening, not a rating of the music.
Download slowly, please, so the server doesn't die.
And it's so poppy because life isn't easy, so you crave simpler music. When life was simpler, I wanted more complex music.
1)The Knife - Silent Shout
Good vocals, well-thought-out music: moderately poppy and not overly complicated.

Noise and ambient, beautiful title.

Overproduced lounge of alternative rock.

7)...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - So Divided
Cheerful, yet not boring rock lost its murky pathos, which clearly did it good.

8)Karsten Pflum - Idhax
The descendants of clicks'n'cuts click and crunch. Why this is good, I don't know. The variety of tracks is appealing, probably.

On the piece of paper in front of me, the word fuck is written in pencil 3 times in each of 2 columns
And I don't remember when I wrote it, but I do remember that it wasn't there yesterday.
Doctor, do I have a problem?
Look how far progress has come, though.
On the Mono project website (Novell's implementation of the .NET Framework), there's now a version available for download as a SuSE Linux image for the free VMware Player virtual machine, and you can even download it via bittorrent.
I needed Mono for Linux in order to bundle it into a C# program that I'm planning to run on my hosting server. And the mkbundle utility, designed for this purpose, doesn't work in Windows yet.
If you didn't understand what this is all about, it's too early for you to call yourself an advanced computer geek, hehe.
