broken leg... don't know if I mentioned, and other stuff

I broke my leg on the last day in January in 2009. Specifically, I broke my femur just at the hip joint, so it is a broken hip, specifically an "intertrochanteric fracture" thereof.

Intertrochanteric is Greek for "you can't believe how much this hurts, no really". If you want to really know what it means, here you go.

What it requires is that a titanium rod be run into your femur and a large-ish titanium bolt be run into the neck of your femur to hold the rod in place, and the recovery from that hurts a lot, too.

I understand why the elderly people who fall and break a hip are pretty much done for most of the time: it is a devastating injury.

It hurts enough to need some kind of pain medicine most of the time, ibuprofen seems not to work too bad at this point. I just wish it would stop hurting.

OK, more on topic: Downloading the latest version of Arkaos NuVJ software. You would know that if you followed me on Twitter which is what you are supposed to say when you are on Twitter but, like most of life, mainly it is fairly lame most of the time with the brief glimmer of info and humor and interesting stuff now and again.

I noticed that people are actually visiting this blog on purpose, and sorry not to provide more items of interest. The people who used to visit this blog on purpose quite a bit used to be Eastern Bloc comment spammers until the comment bot filter stuff got added, so I guess I really should write more stuff here.

Because of that, here is a link to an MP3 of some bouncey techno of a genre referred to as East Coast Donk:

As far as I know, I am the world's leading producer of East Coast Donk.

more fun with video

This is a very neat site. It takes a youtube video and decontstructs it into kind of a tapestry of frames.

like this one

To select a specific video, you need the youtube 'watch' URL, to plug in here

MP3-Extension, new music download site

The first two Utenzil releases are available on MP3-Extension, an interesting concept in paid music download sites that pays for referrals.

You buy a track, and you get 10x the price of that track in your "rewards limit". If you refer other people to the site, you get paid. The concept is if you hustle you basically can get your music for free.

Now, I noticed that the prices of my tracks on this site are higher, $1.59 as opposed to iTunes . If you buy a track you have $15.99 for rewards, and if you refer people, get that back.

Will it work? It is a creative idea, what most independent artists lack is any kind of promotion, and this increases the the opportunity to get some exposure. Yes, people who simply steal music get it for free already.

There is a popular belief that as long as you are doing it for personal use, not for commercial gain, then it's not so bad-- if you buy one copy, you are somehow entitled to make more copies for personal use where that includes other people you are friends with. But that doesn't provide the opportunity to make back more money unless you cross the line of selling it for commercial gain. The MP3-Extension site provides the opportunity to buy it once and make money. My thought is that if it doesn't lead to spamming, it's got potential.
