During my visit to Chattanooga, I asked Rebecca, whom some say is actually my clone with the xy replaced with xx, has a ‘blog. I’m unsure if she wishes me to reveal the URL for her website.
Oh, and she got on the blog wave before I did. May 9th is her first entry.
Aaronsw tried out tunetagger, and we had quite a “comdey of errors” (his words). Right now I’m awaiting the new TRM music signature code to get in the client lib before I press on. Also it would help to have some time. :)
For a long time I’ve been thinking about setting up a genealogy website for my families. I’ve also thought about how that my website should only have to keep so much information on it, because I’m really not intrested that my great-great-great-great-great- great-great-great-grandfather’s half brother’s illgitmate child had 12 kids, one of whom died in 1800’s sometime. I also don’t want to have to track my family back to the 1500’s if someone else has done it. Enter p2p tech.
There are lots of twists and turns to figure out how this might be done decentrailized, but today while poking around I found Genealogy Network Transfer Protocol, a project on sf.net, which hasn’t been updated in an while. Started unsurprisingly by the mormons (who believe they can save their ancestors by praying for them), it might be a good start.
Add that to my todo list.
I’m going off to Chattanooga to see my mom and siblings, and mom’s parents. My dad’s mom has just moved to Chattanooga and I hope to see her as well.
I’m going with Mike Trainum to talk with some people about funding Shellbook Publishing Systems. Hope this goes well.
I made more progress with Tunetagger over the weekend. The basic functions actually work. I checked it into CVS as “tunetagger-python”. You’ll need pygtk/pygme/pyhip/pyid3 (info on getting most of that in the README file.)
