Liberation Fonts

Over the past couple of Slackware releases, Pat and co. have been setting up the fonts to automatically use the Liberation fonts as replacements for the Microsoft Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New. In the past I reversed those changes and installed the MS fonts. However, I've really wanted to get rid of anything like that. Since the Liberation fonts are metric-compatible with the MS ones, I decided to give them a go. So far, I've been pretty happy with them. I see no reason to go back now.

IMD Final Lick Pt 2

Even though I haven't posted about this in a couple of weeks, it doesn't mean I haven't been practicing. I've really been working at that fast descending lick. I think I finally have the notes under my fingers properly. Unfortunately, it's a struggle to even play it at half speed right now. I used Audacity to drop the speed by 75% just so I could figure out the timing better. It sounds ugly slowed down that much, but I could figure it out. My birthday, aka my goal date, is less than a month away . . .
