Krishna music to work to


Surgeons, I hear sometime listen to classical music during operations, at least TV would have me believe. While I've been designing the Krishna Manila templates, I've had playing in the background some mantras and prayers.

Just like the colourful images, the music also seems full of life. My favourite is Indradyumna Swami's maha-mantra which just full of smiles. Get the real audio, and try some other the others too. traveling-preacherasis

I wonder if I should listen to cars if I was to do a car website, keyboards and people saying rhubarb rhubarb in open planed offices, when working on the Government Office's intranet, and the sounds of a photographer's studio when... Would that be mood music?
If it would be, I'd much prefer to listen to this happy chappie.

"Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu popularised the chanting of the holy names of Krishna all over India. The maha-mantra is a transcendental sound vibration which awakens love of God in our hearts and minds.

Hare Krishna devotees are seen chanting, singing and performing music in cities and towns all over the world. As with all other activities, music is considered a sacred offering to God."

root.cellar: connection refused, and fixed

Point one, I like pubSub, it's my eyes and ears in my aggregator.

Point 2, I like it when people say nice things, as this chap does.

Yesterday I had a burp in my ability to blog. The "Radio Userland" tool I use relies on a connection To their server From *my* server (their Tool running), and theirs was refusing a connection. The link goes to a Discussion Group thread I started asking for help. This chap Steve Hooker is a sensational helper, a real programming guru with a heart. But it turns out there was nothing wrong with their server or my local 'server' tool at all. Boiling it down, what fixed it was restoring my C drive from a drive image I'd made back on August 2nd with Powerquest DriveImage 7, which anyone on Windows really should have.

Turns out not everything is fixed. Long story, but I've ended up with fonts and various other elements from months ago.
Nice things. I've been helping on the Radio Userland dicussion group for, I guess for several years. One thing I've noticed, is that either people dive into the object orientated database that is Radio and start deleting or modifying things without knowing what they're doing, thus screwing something fairly small, which cascades into total screw up. Or, they suspect Radio, because it don't work like it did yesterday, even if there's nothing wrong with Radio - the cause is usually outside Radio's environment, a newly erected firewall, a moved Radio file, or as in David's case, a back up 'issue.'
