My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
Thanks, Dan…. for showing me Inno Setup, a free software installer creation tool. It’s so easy to use and it has all the features of the install package I was planning to purchase this week. Combine that with ISTool, a nicer front-end for the compiler, and it’s easy to create any Windows install package you want.
I’m not getting as many people interested in the Light The Night walk. My mom really wants a lot of people to come out this year. It’s only a small walk and the proceeds from the pledges you bring in go to fight lymphoma. Let me know if you’re interested and you have May 6th available. I know Chris is going to do it, but I haven’t heard back from many others.
Things are getting a little busy. I just received an inquiry from someone who wants to purchase a program that I wrote It will be interesting to see if he’s interested in buying more than one license since he sent his request from his work address. I wasn’t ready to take orders on my web site yet because I just hadn’t had time to get all of the things in place.

I’ve been spending my time working on some new designs for this site in order to help me better understand how CSS works. That means I’ve been tidying up my code some and making slight modifications to various parts of the site. I have discovered that I have more information on this site than I thought I did, and I don’t have enough links to get people to it all!
If you’re having problems in 5.02 or 5.03 with Winamp freezing up when you play a song from the Media Library view, it’s due to the file “gen_hotkeys.dll” in the Winamp\Plugins folder. Rename this to “gen_hotkeys.dll.old” or replace with the one from version 5.01 and everything should work again.
Ana and I went running tonight. She did really well. In fact, she went longer than I thought she would. We ended up doing two laps around our route. By the end, she was pretty tired, but she still sprinted the last few yards home. I just did some tinkering with this site, separating out the various sections so that I can edit them without too much trouble. I noticed that I’ve been changing things around a little more than I thought I would.
Wow. What a day. I spent the weekend working on various projects, so today was a nice break. Ana came home around 1:30 and we sat down to watch some Simpsons and she showed me all the neat little toys she got for an early Easter from her grandma. Then I showed her ArtRage, a really cool free drawing program. She really got a kick out of that. After that, she played her favorite computer game, and then we went outside so she could ride her bike around.
Work is frustrating. I’m not sure what the future will bring, but it’s not looking too great right now. I may have to put other plans in motion. If you have a 64-bit processor, Microsoft is letting you try Windows XP 64-bit Edtion for free. This is the coolest Winamp Plugin Ever! It lets you export your media library so you can use it in ITunes, and it lets you import ITunes XML files.
But how can I? I’ve been playing with this new toy all night. I got my Edirol PCR A30 MIDI controller today and I’ve been playing with it for most of the night. I ran into some issues with it when I first started using it. It has a built-in sound processor that works over USB. It kept disconnecting itself whenever I tried to play a sound file or do anything really intense with it.
