Recent stuff (domain, VDLMidi, drum corps)

Yesterday I went up and caught the tail end of the Hayward drum and bugle corps show and was able to see a few of the corps.

I saw SCV's drumline warming up in the fields, and they're back to flat snares with traditional grip - the line looks and sounds pretty good.

BD's beginning (music from the Godfather) sounds great and looks good - especially for the first show of the season. They have stripes on parts of their uniforms, and do some talking/chanting stuff - neither of which was very clear to me. The drums sound really clean and the drill looks sharp - both of which helped them end up 4 points ahead of SCV for the night.

If anyone happens to read this for VDLMidi stuff, first off - send me an email and let me know. Then you can check out a new pre-release built as a universal binary, with a few other features and fixes thrown in. That can be found...

At cflake.org/Files - part of the new domain I registered last week. I've wanted to register a domain for a while, and I finally got around to it. I intend to play around with Ruby on Rails a bit and add some other content eventually, but right now it just has a few video files from my camera. People might be interested in the Apple one and the video of what I think is SCV's 2006 60-second warmup (which is pretty cool!). Follow the link above to check them out...

Update - I've added SparklePlus support to the VDLMidi 1.1a2 bundle on the server. You can try it out and let me know if you run into problems... but I have done very limited testing with it. When the app finds a new version it will download the update and replace the original - there could be bugs, so please be careful and back up your data!!!
