I read this post the other day, it really resonated with me, as I’m starting to feel some of those symptoms (eyes, back, vitamin d). It’s a great post and definitely gave me some things to think about, especially with posture.
If you use a computer a lot, check it out. If you play guitar/bass an instrument a lot, check it out. If you sit down a lot… Check it out, I think you get the idea.
I decided on creating a private wiki for some of my ideas/random stuff, so that i could have a private working area i can access from anywhere. I like DokuWiki, so I searched out an authentication plugin, so i could use my wordpress login with DokuWiki. The plugin did need a little bit of tweaking to work with Wordpress 3.1 though.
If you comment out/remove:
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/classes.php’ );
As the file doesnt exist in WP3.1
Then add:
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-wp.php’ );
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-wp-error.php’ );
Tested with WordPress 3.1 and DokuWiki-2010-11-07a. Things appear to work with no issues.
Massive thanks to Collin Green, plugins like these are really useful, but it’s something I wouldn’t have bothered to write just for my site (although now I’ve used it, It might find its way into use with i3Portal when we get that going).
I’ve been starting to put some bass down for a couple of my mates tracks, i’ll update with some audio when I get the chance. It’s an excellent blend of thrash and old-school metal with a modern twist.
I started to record my basslines with Audacity, but it was quite annoying having to split the signal at the output of the amp head for monitoring and not being able to properly monitor the recorded signal. I ended up moving to Reaper, which gives me a lot more versatility for recording.
I also played a gig with Tom Bertram today, a charity gig at the RMA Tavern. We got a good reception and played a new song as a finale. It went down really really well!
As you can see, the site has changed!
I’ve made some fairly big changes and I’ve only restored a couple of the old posts. I’m working on a new project with some cool people at i3Portal and i’m still playing bass for Tom Bertram.
I also joined Twitter, I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out, but expect a little entertainment.
On a side note, check out the gigs on the Tom Bertram website! It’s really getting going now. I’ll try to post some more pictures from those upcoming gigs.
