Categories: Last few days have been pretty quiet. Class still uninteresting, 555 is still a disappointment, did pick up one useful thing though, did some reading after one class and figured out how to use the Linux route command. managed to set up my firewall to route local traffic locally, rather than just shoving everything down the modem link. It worked until the modem re-dialled, and I haven't been able to get it to work since, haven't tried much though.
The text book for operating systems arrived (surprisingly), so I can now make a start on that.
Working back through Dream Theatres albums, I found a very nice piece in Train of Thoughts called Vacant. It starts with a familiar piece of music, which I haven't yet been able to identify. I think John Williams may have played it somewhere, or it could be a classical piece from somewhere else. I don't know my composers well enough to narrow it down any. Vacant introduces a well worked vocal melody over the original piece. The 2:57 piece is followed by the instrumental Stream of Consciousness (11:16) which presents variations on the original melody, I've been playing the two most of the day on repeat, and starting to work out some of the pieces on piano/flute.
