So I’ve been playing in this country band for the last several years, purely for fun. Our cardinal rule as a band is “do not overprepare” which means we might practice for an hour or so ahead of a gig, but rarely more than that. The second rule is “you may not sing a song you wrote” which sounds funny till you realize that nearly everyone in the band is a songwriter. It’s a fun bunch of folks and the vibe is definitely low key.
But after …. years, we finally made some recordings. Here’s the first couple tunes, My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It and To Love Somebody.
Thanks to Dave for the technical work.

I’m always late to the game, but the Netflix prize was awarded back in September. I wrote about it before.
Anyway, an interesting article at wired.com looking at how the winning teams’ combined disparate algorithms to help them reach the goal.
The Xapian backend for Swish3 has been getting some love lately. The swish_xapian command line tool has most of the features now that swish-e v2.x does.
I’ve posted about it on the Swish-e wiki.
