Here is a WordPress plugin that I had almost forgot about only to “rediscover” it during an upgrade of WordPress. The main reason being that it is a drop in replacement for Rochus Wolff Endnotes plugin which I didn’t realized that I had replaced. The main difference is that the drop in replacement don’t need any hacking done to wp-include/functions.php and has a simpler implementation.

I just want to give a shout-out to the software, LilyPond, that I used to produce the notation in yesterdays post.
I’m no expert in music or jazz, just a happy amateur trying to learn new stuff and make sense of what I already know. So the following is simply an introduction on how I think about the topic. My personal mental map, if you will.
For this reason it’s helpful for you to read thought everything from beginning to end, even if you already know the difference between major and minor scales and chords, or how to play Cmaj13 “jazz style”. I’ve tried to explore the subject in logical steps, so that we can expand upon what we already know and start to see all the different relationships present in the music.
However, the following text assume that you already know how to read notation, at least on a very basic level, and how to play it on a keyboard. If you don’t already know that, please take time to learn it before continuing.

Ok, I must just post something. Otherwise it will just become even more embarrassing when the message “upgrade postponed” sits on top for a whole month and I’ve upgraded not once, but twice, in that time frame. Not that I have much to tell, I’ve some things that I plan to post but couldn’t find the time to finish due to lack of time. But there will be more installments (O’ Hyperbole!) of Redesign Chronicles to come. Also on my ToDo-list is the rel-link WordPress plugin that is still semi-broken and needs fixing.
I’m going to upgrade WordPress to the latest 2.1 version this weekend. Not that it should matter to you or the day to day business of this blog. I just want to mention it because I will not get around updating my own plugins and widgets, of which one is reported broken, until after the upgrade.
As you may notice, the site is back. No more “WordPress Error” screen. The reason it went down was a scheduled upgrade of MySQL from 4.0 to 4.1.
