Brian Eno and David Byrne have released their album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts on the Internet. What makes this title interesting is that they have released a couple of tracks with complete multitracks for two of the tracks making it quite east to totally remix the songs. They are also encouraging people to remix the tracks and submit them. I think this is what would be called experimental music. Why are they doing this? Well, so many people have been doing this in the past, and including samples in their own works that they thought they might as well help them. Wow.

On the Makezine site I saw one of the stranger projects… a rug made from an LED rope light… I am not sure how useful it is, but it is certainly something different…

My VB.NET 2005 coding is going slowly. I am changing some user interface elements, and this is taking some time. But I am also finding bugs – some of which are now appearing thanks to slightly different ways that the language is operating. At the moment I get a large number of messages come through when I run the program in the development environment where I catch an exception and ignore it… I now need to look for better ways to write this code so that I dont take a performance hit from the exception… Hmm. Fun and games.
