Took a bit of searching my brane and the interweb, but I remembered the name and found the site:

Developer is called Delicious Monster, and the app is Delicious Library.

Sadly I did remember correctly that it is Mac only.

Bah! I saw that Chronopath link and thought "Yay there might be one I can use!" but it is only for Mac also.

Ok, here's a question for musicians.
I need to upgrade the RAM in my Powerbook G4 to be able to run Pro Tools, Logic, Reason and Live type programs smoothly...even Garageband is fucking up on me.
Is there really any reason for me to get a 1GB module over a 512MB one? It costs 5 times as much on crucial.com. 768MB RAM is more than enough, innit?
The 1GB module would max out my potential RAM for this laptop, but it seems to me that I should just wait until those things are cheaper.

Bueller?

― Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Friday, 14 January 2005 09:40 (nineteen years ago) link

768 would be pretty good for what you wnat to do. OS X starts to really fly at 512Mb so plenty of spare RAM with 768. Get an external firewire disk, LaCie, very good at the moment, to record on so that your page file and recording are not being done on the same disk. Not that that should be too mcuh of a problem but you will get maximum track and maximum virtual instruments by doing that. 1Gb would be nice but 512Mb and an external HD is a better route to optimum performance.

thanks mang, sounds about right.

― Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Friday, 14 January 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

would this be the one to get?

the lacie seems to be pretty popular, i have the 200Gb one, no complaints whatsoever from me

where's good to get cheap G5 iMac memory - i'm after an extra 512MB myself

I've had that one for some time now and haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.

Wait, I thought these things were all made in Steve Jobs' garage!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 14 January 2005 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

no, they're made in a factory, my machines, odamatically.

In Taiwan they have guys who will work for even less than $1 a year apparently

My "don't hold your breath" source, Insanely Great Mac, is totally playing CYA today. I think I'm going to quit paying so much attention to them.

To be honest that article you linked to was really just one old quote and a bunch of stern-sounding fluff, though.

tombot that's got to be a typo.

The commentary over at EnGadget is a little more illuminating, yeah

straight over my head.

that's probably a good thing, spencer.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 14 January 2005 21:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, I'm probably dumb/should just go look on apple, but I'm gonna ask anyway: Can I hook up a laptop and a (regular or whatever you call it) iMAC to airport extreme?

― stevie nixed (stevie nixed), Friday, 14 January 2005 21:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I believe it depends on the exact model of laptop or iMac, whether it can handle Airport Extreme. (And I think Extreme requires OS X.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 14 January 2005 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

ok QUESTION TIME, i wanna go wireless but i'm confused as to the difference between airports extreme & express. i can only really afford the express but what is the drawback of using it as my "base station" instead of the extreme?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Next Question: My G3's main harddrive recently bit the dust and is running on the secondary, tiny HD right now. I need to do something about this as I'd like to get back to work on my website and bring in some more freelance work. Do I...
A) Go balls out and spend all my money on a single processor G5 (which I'm told I will still need to upgrade the ram on)
B) Go for the Mini and hope that it will be upgradable & powerful enough for any future needs
C) Just go and get myself a big-ass external HD and get by with that & the G3 for the next year or 2
ILX TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

The mini would be a good deal. Assume any mac you bu you will have to upgrade he RAM. Even on the Mini it's easy enough to do yourself, so you don't get gouged by Apple on the cost of RAM.

s1ocki, epress is all you need. Extreme has bigger range and the ability to add an external antenna, but no audio out.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 20 January 2005 10:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks ED. About the ram, though; I was told that (for at least the G5) you have to add ram in sets. So instead of just buying another 256 I would need to get a set of 128s. Which I discovered not a lot of places here carry extra 128s! That's kind of a piss-off.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 January 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

but 256s are not too expensive

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 20 January 2005 16:10 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks ed. the audio out thing isn't really an issue for me because i'm using it as my base station, which won't be near the stereo. do you think the express has enough range to cover a two-story apartment?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 16:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Can anyone think of a reason I shouldn't go buy an iPod Shuffle this afternoon?

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Um.. because it's a rip off? Okay, it's cheap is hell but compared to a regular ipod which is going to be maybe 3x as much you get almost 40x the storage! Plus the whole promotional basis for the Shuffle is based on a feature that all ipod already come with.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, but I don't need or even want 40x the storage, and really I can't imagine locking up most of my music collection inside a really expensive mp3 player that I might leave in a cab one day. It's cheap, it holds four times what my current mp3 player holds, and it's... let's face it, it's cute as all hell.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:29 (nineteen years ago) link

And it's an iPod! It's a status symbol! It's a fashion accessory! It will make me look cooler! That's worth $100, right?

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:36 (nineteen years ago) link

how much more does a mini cost? remember the advantages of using it as a portable HD for backup purposes and such.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Fair enough. Just thought I'd throw some reasons at you. Personally I don't know how I ever survived without ALL my favourite songs in one handy little device (which is also not bad looking).

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 January 2005 17:38 (nineteen years ago) link

A mini is $250, compared to $100, or $150 for the 1 gig Shuffle. $100 is an impulse buy, $250 requires some pause.

'thanks ed. the audio out thing isn't really an issue for me because i'm using it as my base station, which won't be near the stereo. do you think the express has enough range to cover a two-story apartment?'

Should do, my boss has an express and uses it in much the same situation.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 20 January 2005 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

awesome. that should save me some cash!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 18:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I've got an express, and it gives good signal to our entire (two story with basement, but "cozy") house.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 20 January 2005 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

sweeeet.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

the only prob w/range that I've ever seen with WiFi is thick stacks of books, and thick brick walls.. you can get a range extender if that's a prob though. DLink makes one i believe and it's not expensive.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 20 January 2005 19:13 (nineteen years ago) link

i thought you said "thick stacks of boots!"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

i was like "i don't live in a barracks yo!"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

so they were out of airport expresses at the store today! the guy told me i should just get a non-apple 802.11g router, which was a little cheaper, but i was kinda wary. should i just go for it? what brand?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:41 (nineteen years ago) link

linksys. not Netgear. and not whatever else. But actually linksys routers can be kind of gay too, Ally's had some run-ins with hers, like f'rinstance there's currently no way to run a firmware update on one without a windows PC. Should have asked the guy in the store. Then again if he told you to go get a non-apple router instead of the express he's probably just a dickface anyway.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 21 January 2005 23:50 (nineteen years ago) link

he did have a penis on his face.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

i think it was maybe the linksys one he was recommending? but i really don't want to end up with a gay router. so i should just find a store that has an express in stock, you're telling me?
