Grüß

Accroches-toi à ton rêve
Accroches-toi à ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi à ton rêve.
(Electric Light Orchestra. "Hold On Tight." Time. Columbia Records, 1981)

Ok, today's vid is "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra.  Enjoy!

Talk about an Ohrwurm

I've given up, stop. I've given up, stop.
I've given up, stop. You tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it's over
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. "Don't Come Around Here No More." Southern Accents. MCA, 1985)

Ever get a song stuck in your head?

So far, so good.

HAIL PSYCHO BITCH
YOU'RE MY FUCKIN' VALENTINE
(BUCK-TICK. "My Fuckin’ Valetine." Sexy Stream Liner. Mercury, 1997)

Well, so far, so good.  I have my Shouctast daemon running on my server and the firewall configured.  As I type this,I have my source running on one system and streaming from another.  Seems to be working fine.  Now I just need to set it up so the daemon launches at system start.

Another update.

When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
(The Police. "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around." Zenyattà Mondatta. A&M, 1980)

Hokay, power supply changed in file server.  The fans in this thing are almost silent!  So silent, in fact, I can hear the other cooling fans in it start to die...

I Get to be Clever!

Einstein can't be classed as witless.
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splitting-em-ness
Frighten everybody shitless
(Ian Dury & The Blockheads. "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards." B Side "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick." Stiff Records, 1978)

Since they've killed Twitter at work, I'm going to put this here.  Of course, since it's on here, I'll actually post more than just the quip...
