Music Mac

Today, I wrote a little application that when I hit a button I’ve placed on the Mac Finder’s toolbar, it opens all the directories where I’ve stored music, sets the volume to my preferred level and opens Strawberry music player.

Pretty slick and didn’t take long.

Today, I heard from a friend in the UK who hadn’t been in touch for a while. She said she missed me and that I “understand things effortlessly that most people cannot even think about.”

If that’s not a great damn compliment, I don’t know what it is. It’s not as effortless as it looks, though. Behind that instant intuition is tens of millions of pages of books. It was good to hear from her. She has a damn fine mind herself and is much funnier than I will ever be. She wanted my take on the changed world and the future that lies ahead. I gave it and she said she’ll stay in touch more.

I hope so.
