Alex Hixon’s Blog

I don’t usually listen to Radiohead, but for the Nude Remix competiton, this guy went one weirder than everyone else:

Who else do you know who can play a bass part with their scanner?

No, I’m not dead (yet).
Haven’t had as much time as I’d have liked to blog.

Expect a few entries this/next week from me.

For those of you who honestly couldn’t give a crap - don’t bother reading on. No, seriously. It’s pretty dull.

Just a quick update - I’ve recently updated the A records for the main mediati.org domain and a few subdomains, including mail.mediati.org, to point to the Xen server I have had running for a while now.
Some notes:

• I will be moving blogs and wiki tomorrow, so don’t fear if you get a whole bunch of 404s (read: do not celebrate too early).
• SVN is not affected (for those checking out code) - it’s been hosted here for a long time now.
• The DNS will remain to be hosted on the MediaTemple server where Mediati was originally hosted - this’ll eventually get moved over too.
• My mail server setup is a bit shonky, so, if you get bouncing mails, try to resend them after a few hours/days.
• Yay for Debian Etch!

The new server is hosted on Chris Lamb’s non-profit Xen server (via Bytemark), so that’s pretty awesome. I’ve got a (reasonably) beefy 2x Xen instance going, hosting mediati among a few other domains. Honestly, having complete control over the software thats installed on the server makes life much, much easier.

I’m generally hopeless when it comes to vector art, but hopefully I can get a bit better after I get the basic shapes of things going. I’m still absolutely crap at 3D objects. Well, here’s what I’ve been up to:

OK, I’ve finally bit the bullet and decided to create a GPG key (yes, I need to sign things too).

To import it into your keyring, use:
gpg --keyserver gpg.mit.edu --recv-key 505ED974

or manually import it (remember to use --armor), using the public key available at http://mediati.org/pubkey.gpg.
