Well, last night did not go as planned. A while back my girlfriend asked me if I’d be interested in going to see Nine Inch Nails in early March. I figured, sure why not. So I chipped in for my ticket and was aniticipating seeing them. I’ve got a few of Trent Reznor’s NIN albums already, including Halo 1, the single for Down In It.
Then, on the fateful day a friend calls me and tells me that he’d heard it was cancelled. I looked online but there was no word… I called the local Rock station, The Bear and they filled me in – Trent was sick and cancelled the show. Refunds available at point of purchase.
Withought Reznor, NIN won’t work… For those who don’t know the band, they do an electronic industrial style of music, and Trent is the artist at the middle of it all composing, writing and performing the music. Sure, there’s other guys on tour and they’re great… But NIN would be still NIN without any of them. Trent’s the man in this case.
Sadly, due to his past heroine abuse I’m highly skeptical about it being just a sore throat that made him cancel. Bah. At least I get my money back, but that’s really not the point. NIN never comes to Ottawa, and it’s been six years since they last toured. With no plans to reschedule, this kinda blows. I’m tired of Montreal and Toronto getting all the big bands. What’s missing in Ottawa?
I feel like a kid in a candy store. After a long wait, I finally have my domain and web space obtained. After so many years of hiatus, it’s nice to finally see www.euphoriacyberware.com a real domain and entity.
For those who don’t know me personally, it’s always been a dream of mine to be running my own computer software company. I’ve developed quite a few applications already, and one of them is still floating around on the Internet after it’s initial release sometime in the ’90s.
So step one is taken care of. I had initially hoped to have the site created offline and ready to go (at least in a basic form) for today, however that wasn’t a realistic timeline. I’ll get it up and ready to go soon, though.
Motorola has announced that it will be including a Google icon and search ability on it’s internet optimized cell phones. Also planned is Yahoo search support geared towards mobile users.
I think this is a new feature for phones that is actually useful. It means that no matter where you are, if you’re stumped: “Google It!“. Anywhere. Anytime. Anything.
There’s no mention in the article whether it will be including the ability to use the Google/Yahoo maps applications with the GPS capability that most phones now include. Just think, enter an address and it tells you how to get there from where you are.
Of course, I do know that there already are devices that do this. I think the main advantage your phone would have over the dedicated devices is that this way the internet service does the major processing work and data storage chores. This relieves the manufacturer of needing to build a route finding program, map storage, updating of data, etc. Google’s already provided this infastructure.
I really do think that the IT future really is with wireless internet technology. There’s just so many things that can be done with an internet enabled wireless device, the possibilities are endless.
