Upgrade Complete

28 07 2008

So the site upgrade is complete and the back end interface now looks more nifty. Log in to check it out, ping me if something is broken.

The coolest new feature is the NEW IPHONE support! I am writing this post on an iPod! To do this yourself, get the wordpress app, our URL is IEEE.Vanderbilt.edu/wordpress and you can use your user/pass from this site.

Thanks,
Hamy

PS - I also added on wp-cache, which means that the site should respond quicker and load faster :) yea

How to fix up your itunes

15 04 2008

So - iTunes has some problems. If you follow along, I will show you a few nifty tricks/programs to do these things:

1 - get lyrics to almost every song you have on your ipod and in your itunes
2 - do the same for album art work
3 - remove those pesky (!) missing files from itunes
4 - find/add the files that you didnt know you had
5 - fix all the tags - remove those www.musicblah.blah.whatever links

There are a few things that I can’t do yet - so hopefully more soon. Here is what I can’t do for you:

1 - delete duplicates easily aka not one by one
2 - do ALL the work for you. You still have to put in fifteen minutes. I did all this, and I still have about 100 problem tracks. I will fix them one by one, because I am that guy. Most people probably don’t care. The point is, this stuff does 95% of the work, you still have to help it that 5% along.
3 - i am sure there is another one ;)

So - I did a few simple things to my itunes, mainly:

1 - fix all the ID3 tags (a LOT better than itunes automatic service can)
2 - remove the bad stuff (missing files, ect)
3 - get the lyrics
4 - get the artwork
5 - sync!

IEEE/ACM Spring 2008 Picnic

2 04 2008

Hey everyone!

Don’t forget that the IEEE/ACM Spring Picnic will be Thursday, April 10. We will need people there from about 10 through 2:30. Most of all, however, we’ll need as many people as possible from 12:15 to 1:10 for the lunch rush - and no one has class then, so everyone should be able to help! The plan is to be providing food from 10:50 to 2.

Hope to see everyone there!
