More than the sum of it's singles

Listened to a couple of whole albums on the 2 hour trip back from my parents' place tonight. Was listening to Live's "The distance to here" and thought to myself "There's scarcely even a sniff of filler on this disc". It an actual album that works end-to-end, in fact probably more so than as a bunch of individual tracks.

So do (m)any young-uns buys or listen to albums these days, or has the 99c track on iTunes destroyed this experience for future generations?

Here endeth the old-guy-back-in-my-day rant. Feel free to go all internet-music-critic if you must, but the particular album isn't really the point. Get off my lawn.

Joomla is great, but . . .

Blogger is just damn too easy.

I'm messing around with a Joomla site at the moment (randomloci.com), and was posting thoughts as articles, thinking I'd present them in some sort of bloggish layout, but a self inflicted power outage caused me to lose the post (no fault of Joomla's) and decide to go for something quick and easy.

I may integrate this into the Joomla site, or may just keep them separate, who knows, for now, I'll use this for random posts. As I said, blogger is just too damn easy. Picking a colour scheme is not. I'm an engineer, OK. Bite me.
