This article can be found from the August, 2004 issue of the magazine.

Music mayhem

I finally had the time to hook up my speakers to my amp and mixer combination.

I cannot imagine how this took so long from me, as I've had no stereo systems working since my last DJ gig in June.

But now that I have again, I just wonder how I could live without.

Luckily, the Ljudia mail-order shop also just mailed me their newest catalog, and those Cerwin-Vega! speakers sure look good. Gotta think...

Mars rover glitches

ExtremeTech ran an interesting article about NASA's Mars rovers on the red planet.

According to the article, the embedded operating system started to contain too many files, and thus crashed.

This is a deja-vu for all Microsoft SQL Server administrators: if the log files grow too large, the free disk space will soon be exhausted.

But honestly speaking I thought this would only be a problem on this planet! :-)

Korg TRITON Le 61 synth

I finally made my mind and bought a real synth for myself. Yes, I've been talking/thinking about them for a long time already, and now it was time to materialize the thoughts.

My selection was the Korg TRITON Le 61, which I managed to find under 1000 € with instant delivery from the seller's stock.

Yeah, I presently have very little experience on the thing (and synths in general I must confess), but so far I must say I like what I see, feel and especially hear.

The Triton Le might not be the best synth available, but as far as the money goes, I think this is a good choice.

Small businesses and e-commerce

The Finnish TIEKE has published a book that contains information how to efficiently us IT to help your business and bring a presence to the Internet.

The book is also available on-line, and is titled "Sähköisen kaupankäynnin aapinen". Though the name sounds very basic, the book actually contains tons of good material.

Sure, some of it is just common sense, but nonetheless, I can easily suggest this book to anybody desiring to improve their IT systems connected to the Internet.

Delphi 8 Issues

I've been playing with Delphi 8 lately, and wanted to test access to Paradox tables from a VCL.NET application.

Unfortunately, I ran into a what seems to be a bug. That is, if I have a data module, and save it as DataModule.pas, Delphi 8 cannot load the form to its designer after closing and the reopening the project.

I'm not exactly sure what are the steps to reproduce this, but everything started to work once I renamed the data module file as DM.pas.
