I’m getting a new bed to replace the glorified hammock that I’ve slept on for the past year. It arrives next Thursday and I’m quite excited. It should be noted the woman and child pictured are not included.
In other news, I suddenly thought last night; does anyone care? Who gives a rats ass whether I’m [...]

Well, its over a month later than expected, but Ardour 2.4 is finally released. Right now, there is a source tarball and an Intel native version (details on IRC).
