I reformatted a laptop with Windows XP SP3; updated drivers, completely ran Windows Update, and installed Firefox and Microsoft Office. Then I went to install Microsoft Security Essentials.

In real life I’m selfish; I think mostly about myself in many of the things I do. On the contrary, on the internet I’m very selfless. I stop to answer a question on Stack Overflow, or post on a forum. When I figure out something complicated, I write a detailed post in my blog so that others can find my post via Google and not have to go through the trouble I went through.

How do your organize your song library? I have a library of about 1,200 songs (which I just finished pruning from the 2,000 that it was a week ago). But even with the cruft now removed, I am still left with some whole albums, many singles, and basically a gigantic pile of songs which have no order.

How does one organize 1,200 songs? I don’t know what sort of playlists I want, nor what to call them.

I just actually spent some time with Unity, unbiased and with the understanding that it’s a requirement of my school assignment. Turns out, it’s actually really awesome. Complicated, but awesome. Maybe I’ll post screenshots when I do more.
