I have a WIKI
I'm not really sure I want one. I actually like writing html (with emacs psgml mode) better than learning new markup languages. The big advantage of the interface is that if you're setting up a new site, links to the pages that aren't written yet are in red, and when you click on them you [...]
Lute tablature
They're having a discussion at the lilypond users mailing list about how and whether to have a lilypond mode for entering "ancient" lute tablatures. Some people seemed to like the idea, but not to have much idea what the place of lute tablature was in music history, so I contributed a post. Someone else had [...]
I’m back, and what’s next
I seem to have returned to the land of the living -- I woke up this morning wanting to get out of bed and walk the dog. I then did a reasonable imitation of my usual morning routine, and still don't feel like it's quite time to go back to bed. As far as what [...]

MIDI has many fine qualities, but it doesn't save the same information that printed notation needs. There's a fairly well-thought-of standard exchange format called MusicXML. Lots [...]
Truce in the browser wars (on my machine, anyway)
I wrote previously about my efforts to find a browser to replace Firefox 3.0, which has major memory leaks and takes over the sound system. I seem to have settled on Firefox 3.5 for the moment. I still like the interface on chromium-browser from google, but the linux version was too incomplete, and so I [...]
Read the other stuff I’ve written this morning
Once again, it's almost lunchtime on Wednesday, and I've been writing all morning, and I don't feel the necessity of writing a blog post to keep my hand in as a writer, so you can read the other stuff I've written. Not the emails I will spare you the emails I wrote to the person [...]

A Graphic Example
A lot of non-technical people's eyes glaze over when you start talking about standard, non-proprietary formats. Mike Cane has come up with a graphic example of why you don't want one company owning the format of the books you read. Apparently Sony requires any book sold for their reader in their store to be formatted [...]
