History lesson

From an article on Slate:

Aaron Burr was the last sitting vice president to shoot a man. He killed Alexander Hamilton in 1804. Since then, vice presidents have become known for attending funerals, not necessitating them. If Cheney had handled this right, it would have been a one-day story. Now, the vice president may find it won't become history fast enough.

It's alive!

My new little fanless X system appears to be working -- it was up for over a day running a session on the recording box with a copy of audacity running (and with the input meters active, though it wasn't recording). Hopefully a new power supply will fix the mysterious shut-offs without my having to resort to a dummy load; I ordered a PicoPSU from the nice folks at LOGIC Supply.

No recording, though; the washing machine was running, somewhat noisily, so I decided to do dishes instead of taking another stab at "Silk and Steel". Tomorrow. (Yeah, I know. This time for sure...) Between five and seven songs left to redo, and only two that really have to be done before Consonance.
