Well, I’m no longer selling records, but I was looking over the list of what I’ve sold over the years and I started wondering, hmm, who did I sell the most of? So, here’s the top ten list based on how many records I sold by an artist. Note that I am including records equally,…Read more
bit finagling
So I decided to finally try to get Linux on my “Primary” computer. I have different flavors of linux installed on a number of computers, none of which I really use… So I figured I’d give it a shot on the computer I usually use, which I generally dislike but may like better with some…Read more
Star Wars. There and back again.
Well, it’s been over two years since my post about the release of new movies in the Star Wars universe. While I was excited, I was also skeptical and, as it was prior to the release of The Force Awakens, I hadn’t seen any of them yet. Now, 27 months later, three have come out…Read more
Rediscovering 40 years of concert going…
Trying to piece together my concert going history. Why? I don’t know. Just to test my memory? As I’ve worked through it, on and off over the years, I’ve remembered seeing many bands that I had forgotten I’d seen, so there is that. Speaking of forgotten, in 2008, someone put up a blog post of…Read more
It does equal Run, Escape…
Or that’s what I should do. I’ve been playing this game for eight years, almost daily, and I still remain an outlier. Yesterday I did two sinkholes, and while I got an acceptable number of combat and exploration totems in a pretty usual amount of time… the others players seem to have been in a…Read more
Depth, breadth? Shallow? Regurgitate?
After spending many years reading (and repeatedly trying to write) blogs, a few years ago I seem to have forgotten about them. In their heyday (for me) I would write in my blogs, follow others blogs, look for interesting new blogs, even read some LiveJournals! Now? Not so much. I suspect that, like maps, phone…Read more
Projecting…
I find that the nature of work is thus: come up with something that needs to be done (or have something presented to you) begin work on it and then either hit a road block or be called away. Hopefully, at some point, you complete each thing and move on, only to have the need…Read more
It was the shortest of years…
Alas, my “year of low employment and child-rearing” turned out to be not a year. More like 7 months. The place I was low-employed created a position that I couldn’t really back away from. And, due to a variety of factors, they weren’t interested in filling the position 6 months down the line… So I…Read more
Changes are afoot at the Circle K…
Okay, not very exciting ones. But this week I decided to, um, rebrand my selling. Or, let’s say, give it a brand. I changed my discogs name from harveyashley to old_ames_records and have started putting up a website. I have also listed some things (prints, DVD’s and a record that I can’t sell at discogs)…Read more
Catching up!? no… never…
Well, I’m at least 300 orders behind in remarking about my discogs orders so I think it’s safe to say that I’ll never catch up. But at least I can live in the present. Firstly, Waxworks Records released their super-awesome looking vinyl version of the Leon the Professional soundtrack! I would order it immediately! But…Read more
