I just found this really cool feature of Chrome’s Dev Tools. I was thinking: ‘hey, it would be really cool if when I edited CSS after inspecting an element that the dev tools would highlight the changed declarations. Well, in a roundabout way, the dev tools do highlight your changes and they even keep a history. You just need to know where to look: switch to the Resources pane and locate the CSS file where your edits occurred and you will see a little arrow that signals there is a history of edits on that file. Whabam! There ya go!
It looks like I might be playing a fund raiser this weekend for a legal defense fund regarding my neighborhood assoc. and the city of Peekskill against some shady developers (building, not web).
If so, it will probably be a mix of some classic covers and some crowd friendly originals. I am going to try to squeeze in the Bitter Tears song too because it is just too awesome.
I have been getting the urge to say things lately, so I may be writing more in this space in the near future. And I am going to talk about things other than Rock music, or should I say “in addition to Rock music.” In fact, I am going to start now:
I just started on a project that began using ExtJS before I arrived. I have been trying to remain unbiased and learn the pros and cons of the Javascript library/framework. So far, I have not been won over. I see lots of people talking about performance and I am noticing that the sites that use ExtJS are often preempted by a little loading graphic. Both are not good signs. But this latest thing I stumbled upon takes my confidence in ExtJS down even more:
I have found that ExtJS prefers no doctype. This may be the case for 3.3 and earlier version only — 4.0 should be out soon and I think they abandon this recommendation for that release. But for 3.3, I believe it is so, and the reason given is…
“…[t]he only reason that no DOCTYPE is recommended is that Ext is faster on IE6 and IE7 in quirks mode…” LINK
Where have I been for the last 2 years, almost 3 years?
That is not the point. Where was I last night at about 5pm? That
one I will answer: on the train working on mixing Dear Jessica
vocals. As it stands now, there are 3 vocal tracks for me, 2 of
Thea Lux, and 6, count ‘em 6, of James Olsen. James and Thea both
do a great job and I am doing my best to have that come through in
a way that doesn’t saturate an already crowded mix. Instead of
having my vocals doubled and tripled all up in front with some
panning, I decided to focus on one of mine and pan hard the other
two but pull them way back for some color rather than a full
frontal vocal attack.
So things have been pretty busy round here and I forgot to even post about our appearance on RadioOne Chicago on WLUW. We had a really great time and it was all broadcast live and was also recorded. The recording came out pretty well and it is a great document of the band with Faiz, who has now moved on.
Friday November 9 at Reggie’s Live (2105 So. State St.) in beautiful Chicago IL.
A showcase for The Roydale Recording Company.
This is also our Record Release show for our new product: PILOT EP.
Also releasing an album this night: Terrible Terrible Sandwich Joint
Show starts at 8pm (18+) and is only around $6 for 4 bands (do the
math for calculated savings). I think we should be on at 9pm. All
bands on this bill are really, really great.
