Music
Books of the Bible song
When i was i kid i learned the books of the Bible in a song to the tune of "Jesus loves me". I tried to look it up to teach it to my kids (since my memory of some of it was a bit fuzzy), but Google had no reference to it whatsoever (i searched on specific phrases i was sure about). Here is the song as best i remember it:
(Verse)
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges
Ruth, First and Second Samuel
First and Second Kings and Chronicles too
(Chorus)
Ezra, Nehemiah
Esther, Job, Psalms...
Shameless plug
Kutless have a free MP3 to give away at Bible Study Magazine.
Amarok proxy settings issue
I discovered a workaround for the bug in Amarok that was preventing me from adopting it as my primary music player. Full details are in the bug, executive summary follows:
- I disallow outgoing connections from all PCs on my home LAN as a security measure to guard against spyware and spam bots.
- Amarok uses two different proxy settings - one for streaming data and one for submitting last.fm track info. The former is configured in Amarok and the latter in the KDE control panel (kcontrol).
- When no proxy is defined for track sumission, my firewall denies the outbound connection from Amarok, and it hangs (this is the real bug)....
Some great service
Just wanted to give a quick plug for Dynamic Music, the Australian distributor for Zoom products. My Zoom GFX-5 guitar effects unit broke a patch pedal about 2 months out of warranty. I was disappointed and asked my local retailer what could be done about it. They gave me the number, and a quick phone call to Dynamic Music later, my replacement pedal was on the way, free of charge. Great stuff!
