You know it when you see it: bad code. It's not necessarily code that doesn't work (but it often is). Bad code is hard to parse, has needless complexity, and doesn't take advantage of the language's constructs for making your code easy to follow, edit, augment, and fix. We all have probably been guilty of producing bad code, either through ignorance or laziness. However, it's always something that should be avoided, if possible.

As evidenced by the subject, I'm on Github.

I recently completed (more or less) the Git Immersion tutorial by Jim Weirich, which walks you through the basics and intermediates of Git, the popular version control system.

I use SoundCloud because their little visual music players are rad as hell. They are easily embeddable anywhere. Their interface is well-designed and fun to use. With a free account you only get so much space to upload music (unlike my own host), but there’s a community worth contributing to so I try to put my best tracks there.

THE SETUP

A Kotaku article about someone gaining the “courage” to ignore video game music was published online recently.

A blogger I respect, Cruise Elroy, wrote a response to it.

I am now writing a blog post responding to both.

Redmine is a great project management web application written using the Ruby on Rails framework. I've been using it to help myself organize all of the many coding (and recently music) projects I work on.

While I have one main, official musical collaboration under my belt (that of Pure Yellow Colour), I have met up with other musicians many times to do what we improvisers like to call "jamming". Break out some instruments and start playing. Sometimes there's a plan or some notes or words, but often it's just one person starting to play something while the others try to join in. It's a dance between a group of musicians that I can actually perform.

The exciting conclusion to Fallout: New Vegas was finally within my grasp last night. Be warned: there be spoilers abound.

THE FATE OF NEW VEGAS

For the record, I played on Normal difficulty, Hardcore mode. Most of my time was spent with Rex and Veronica as companions (halfway through until end), and I was more or less Morally Good (except to the NCR and Legion, whom I slaughtered with reckless abandon in the finale).

My two flagship websites, Nebyooweb.com (web portfolio), and Nebyoolae.com (original music), have been updated to versions…uh…they’re newer.

NEBYOOWEB.COM

Nebyooweb.com (Nebyoolae + web; genius, I know) is my personal web development/design portfolio. If anyone wants to know how I build websites, then this is a good portal. This new version has quite a few changes.

Liszt?

A short list of concerts attended kept lengthening over the years on my old LJ, measuring almost 50 units in total. It was fun to update it when I went to a new one, although I haven’t been to one in (*checks*) 16 months. This is…kind of appalling.

Anywho. I took that old post and turned it into a WordPress Page. I figured other periods-of-time-that-can-be-chunked should be added as separate lists, too, so books, games, and movies are on the page, as well. Anytime I finish one of these things I’ll update it. Right now, besides the concert list, the page is woefully unfinished, so don’t think I’ve only begun watching movies, reading books, and playing games since a year or so ago.
