My Macbook details:
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRM-2x2GB 500GB Serial ATA Drive@5400rpm SuperDrive 8X DL MBP 15" Glossy WS Display.
It’s odd that the Apple store charges so much extra $600 for [Apple Memory Module 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 - 2x4GB SO-DIMMs].
NewEgg has compatible memory for $126.99 [Mushkin Enhanced 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Dual Channel Kit Memory for Apple Model 976644A] Just remember to run an extensive hardware test often in the first 60 days.
My [Rocket Engine] of a laptop from 2005 just got a bad harddrive. 2005, really!? I hope all the replacement harddrives for this dinosaur are higher capacity and dirt cheap. Something compatible with 80 GB 5400rpm ATA-100 Super Slim Notebook Hard Drive.
My [TAGCMA] project was so old I couldn’t remember how to get the code. I finally figured it out. The entire site is readonly, so when I figure that out, I’ll be able to update the links. To get the code you do this (assume you have a CVS client).
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tagelflax.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tagelflax login
(no password just press enter)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tagelflax.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tagelflax co -P tagml
Windows-7 is my preferred development OS. However, recently it has become unstable and I have the need to reinstall.
I typically install [My Preferred Development Environment].
In all cases, always make a backup before wiping the harddrive. Since I purchased Windows-7 PRO upgrade, the install is tedious. First I need to install Vista. However, if I’ve already installed Windows-7, I won’t be able to install Vista because it can’t read and format the partitions correctly. So first I install Windows 7-PRO and defer the activation. Next I install Vista over the Windows-7 PRO install which created a windows.old folder. I delete the windows.old folder and then tediously have to install the Vista SP1. After than I can run the Windows-7 upgrade and that runs for a long time. Then I delete the windows.old folder again and restore all the software to get back to my preferred development environment.
[MozBackup] restored my email profile for [Thunderbird] flawlessly. I did have to manually copy my signature file.
Might as well try [Visual Studio 2010].

Today the temperature in Monroe, WA is the same as Miami, FL. That means it happened. The world finally tilted. Greenland is the new north pole. Even [magnetic north] is moving east.
The [Propellerhead forums] made a reference to [ASIO4ALL], which is a program that lets you tweak your audio devices and place them on a single device driver. This is especially useful for programs like Reason Record. The best part is this is a free driver. It works on Windows-7 64-bit and the control panel shows in the system panel as soon as the device driver is in use.
[POD Studio GX] connects a guitar input to a usb port and [interfaces with Reason].
I just started using multiple audio devices with Reason Record and quickly ran into some [work flow issues]. There are several [Video Tutorials] on the Reason website.
