Badly Drawn Boy in SF

Some people at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on March 23rd.

Badly Drawn Boy's set was semi electric and semi acoustic. Unfortunately his new material isn't as captivating as the soundtrack to "About a Boy". He is also working on material for a new soundtrack but wouldn't reveal (or wouldn't recall) to what movie.

Linux Links

Since I am now involved in Embedded Linux development on an ARM based machine, many of these links are Linux related. There are also some links on general software development on Linux: sockets, threading, patterns, etc...

• Multithreaded Programming :: Improving Performance through Threads
• Five pitfalls of Linux sockets programming
• Linux Network Programming
• Popular Design Patterns
• Memory Leak Detection in Embedded Systems
• Mounting SMB shares permanently
• Configuration File class
• Use Samba to Map a Linux Directory to a Windows Drive

Teitur

Just some snaps of Teitur playing an acoustic set at the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco on Feb 24th. No reviews this time. I liked his first album Poetry & Aeroplanes very much.

Old Music

Some classic French songs:

• Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas

• Dalida - Avec Le Temps
  with lyric translation

• Salvatore Adamo: Tombe la Neige

An old friend shared these with me but warned that they may be very emotional.
