fettig.net

Whew. After many hours of work, I’ve got this newer, nicer version of fettig.net up and running. Some URLs have changed (for the better), but I’ve tried to set up redirects for all the old pages, so hopefully nothing will be broken. The design is a work in progress. I’ll continue to tweak things in the coming days and weeks.

This redesign incorporates a lot of the things I’ve learned about the web over the last year. I’ll have to wait to explain these changes in detail, though – at the moment I’m wiped right out.

If you notice anything broken, please leave a note in the comments so I can fix it. Thanks.

iTunes for Windows is here. Hooray – finally a jukebox for Windows that

works like it should. Th-th-th-e-e-re’s o-o-o-n-ly one li-li-lit-le

pro-ro-rob-roblem: every time you go launch another program, or do anything

that ties up the hard drive for a few seconds, iTunes skips and stutters like

crazy.

Fortunately, there’s a fix for this issue. Quit iTunes, open QuickTime preferences in

the Windows control panel, choose “Sound Out”, and change the playback device

from DirectSound to waveOut. Close QuickTime Settings, restart iTunes.

No more skipping.

(Thanks to the Apple Quicktime for Windows Discussion Group for providing

this solution.)

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes here at fettig.net. I’m working

on a complete overhaul of this site, creating a better environment for

myself to write and work in. Meanwhile, ideas and updates

are queueing, waiting for the new site to go live before they can be

published. Expect a burst of writing once I get the new

site running, perhaps this weekend.
