I’m working on the Indie Mixing Project # 14 right now, and I’ve got to get that finished by Monday morning.

edit: I’m done, here is the mix: IMP 14 MP3FLAC

Back up

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Summer is almost over and as good a time as any to back up your important data. Hard drives are very cheap these days, but they also seem to fill up faster.

I only trust Taiyo Yuden discs from Blankmedia.ca.
