There’s no real way to open this post. Just… click it. There are no words for this... just stick with it for a full 45 seconds, and see if you’re not laughing by the time it’s over. Best ’07 to you all!

Technology changes rapidly, but really, not too much does happen other than some things replace older things; older things eventually fall to the wayside, and people forget they ever existed.

I just happened upon ‘findus och korven’ while continuing to prune my ‘ancient music format files’, and discovered that it was completed by Daniel Falk (leinad), today, fourteen years ago. Wow.

Most of the world has never heard of MOD files, or care. These were MP3s of 1990s. We had floppy disks, and we needed to store lots of stuff on them. This 121k file has 6 minutes and 15 seconds of music in it. The quality isn’t that much lower than a 128k/second MP3. Consider that. Six minutes of music for nearly 1 second’s worth of a not-CD-quality MP3. Ya know what else? It’s still pretty catchy.

For what it’s worth, This is the set that I’m sorting through. I’m up to the letter ‘F,’ and I’m starting to get frazzled. For as many great tunes there are, there’s a half dozen crappy techno/house which are all the same thing with slightly worse samples.

Bah. I’m getting old.

Extending fond holiday wishes to one and all this season!

In doing so, I bring a gift: my old habit of computer syntesized music; I have slightly cleaned up an Amiga based Christmas tune dating back to 1990, which, when you think of it being 16 years ago, was actually pretty distinctive (note that I am not claiming to be the original author): Download Christmas Medley MP3.

See you all in ’07!

Ok, I’ll admit it: I dropped off the face of the planet. I have no time to sit on the internet and work on my own projects. Email will continue to be read.
