anthonyI always forget this and never find the answer with internet searches, so I figured I would post it here. Sometimes I need to make a quick edit to the MP3 tags for some files and I don’t want to open a media player. In those cases, I just open the properties dialog for the file(s):
You can then enter values into the “Value” column to change the related MP3 tag.
… »I was interested in trying out Github’s new editor Atomon my Linux Mint box. It’s not included in the official Mint PPAs, so I decided to build it from the source using the build instructionsprovided in the Atom repo. The build went well, but the actual installation step failed with the error: $ /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory. It turns out that this is because I’ve installed node using NVM rather than installing one of the node packages.…
»About four years ago, my Samsung 225BW monitor started flickering. I was able to fix it with $12.00 spent on a replacement and 15 minutes of work with a soldering iron. Well, it started flickering again on Thursday and this time I decided to just replace it. I just have too much other stuff on my plate right now and it seemed like time for an upgrade. Anyway, that worked out pretty well all things considered.…
»This is a post in my own self interest. I’m sure there will be another instance in the future where I cam connected to a company’s VPN, but I just can’t resolve an internal, that is intranet, resources. If the name doesn’t work by itself, try appending the appropriate DNS suffix in the advanced IP4 settings for the VPN connection. This has been a note to my future annoyed self.…
»Sometime I post things here just so they are web search accessible. This is one of those times! I’ve run into situations where the WAV files I export from Sonar have very low volume on several occasions. I’ve finished my new track, I’ve got everything EQed and compressed to just the right level and my track is peaking at exactly the volume I want. I’m excited to share the new song with the world (i.…
»About a year or so ago, my here-to-fore perfectly working Samsung 225BW computer monitor started taking a very long time to turn on. At first it was only a few minutes and I could live with it. Eventually, a few minutes became up to a half hour and the situation became unworkable. I was learning about electronics and specifically capacitors at that time. My gut told me that the problem, slow warming up, might have to do with a faulty capacitor.…
»Everyone is biased, but it can be very hard to acknowledge those biases. That’s why it’s an incredible advantage in life if you can look past the vanity filters and special effects that your superego places in front of our mind’s eye and really see the truth about yourself. When it comes to computer problems, I am biased towards suspecting software over hardware. It’s not hard to understand why. I am a programmer.…
»Microsoft has struggled playing catch-up to Google when it comes to search, but I actually preferred their map service. The killer feature for me, as a runner, was the ability to easily draw routes on a map and calculate the exact distance. This let me easily plan new runs from any computer without a lot of hassle. I’ve never found a way to do the equivalent on any other service.…
»This is why YouTube is great. If you’re a Star Wars fan and a grump, you’ll love it. Watch the whole seven part series.…
»Or, EasyCGI is a horrible web hosting company. Or, EasyCGI sucks.. This site was previously hosted by a great little firm called Webstrike Solutions. They were responsive to any issues that arose, my site was decently fast loading and I basically never even thought about my hosting. Then, in March, the company was aquired by EasyCGI. There were lots of falling bricks, but I tried to be patient. I know how difficult migrations can be and I assumed that the move would be beneficial in the long term.…
