Em7 ad naseum

Windows servers keep finding new ways to make my life harder when they are virtualized. Most of my Microsoft gripes tend to come down to one big annoyance: licensing. They design their software with the idea that you're buying one piece of hardware per O/S instance and that you have nothing better to do than install a fresh O/S with each new server rollout.

Case in point: sysprep

Sysprep does a bunch of handy things. It gives you an automated way to reset machine names and security identifiers for cloned machine rollouts. Very handy. However, in the last month I've bumped into two headaches that turned out to be something important that sysprep just couldn't be bothered to update as part of correctly generalizing a system.

I finally went and dug out all my records now that I've got real, working player to work with. In addition to the full albums that I remembered having, I seem to have more 7" singles that I thought (which still isn't a great number of them).

12"
Autechre - Quaristice
Frodus - Conglomerate International
Joe Christmas - North to the Future
Joy Electric - Robot Rock
Joy Electric - We Are the Music Makers
KMFDM - Boots
Ninety Pound Wuss - Where the Meager Die of Self Interest
Queen - A Night at the Opera <-- I have no idea how I came to be in posession of this, but it's still awesome.
Starflyer 59 - Americana
Starflyer 59 - Everybody Makes Mistakes

john: so it looks like this hastily assembled script actually works
paul: does it change it
john: yep
john: clears all the masks out
john: i can hear you being impressed all the way over here

M:\>perl -ne "if (m/(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*?W3SVC\d+ .*?([A-Z]+) (\S+) (\S+) 80 - (\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}) [A-Za-z].*? ([^23]\d{2}) 0 0/i) {print qq{$1 $5\t$6 $2\t$3 $4\n} }" \\webserver\LogFiles\W3SVC1513329900\ex090303.log

Another hideous regex, but this gives me a decent summary report of:

Timestamp ($1)
Source IP ($5)
HTTP status (that doesn't begin with 2 or 3) ($6)
HTTP method ($2)
URI stem ($3)
Page parameters ($4)

I should really check my referrers more often:

I feel a little bad that my page doesn't actually describe how to play an Em7add11 chord since people seem to be linking here from threads discussing it. So for any Germans coming here looking for chords, the relevant one is:

E A D G B e
0 0 0 0 0 0

E (1Prime)
A (11Undezime)
D (7Septime)
G (3kleine Terz)
B (5Quinte)
e (1Oktav)
