      I see The Wall as being one of the most active parts of this community in the future. I believe if you give it a shot and use it for a while and get comfortable with it, you’ll see why. Yes, it’s basically a knockoff of Facebook Groups without the bad behavior you get on Facebook that I personally don’t want to deal with. Even more, because this…Read More

      One of the features that was requested a lot for LinkedMusicians was to have the option for light mode and dark mode. Most of the time I use the site in dark mode, but occasionally use it in light mode. What's your preference?

      Which mode do you prefer to use for the LinkedMusicians website?

        When I was putting together the specs for the site, one of the things that was really important to a lot of people was to have the option to choose light or dark mode. I think, however, the site evolves — and I’m a big believer that the site should continuously evolve and become more and more adapted to the community based on what we learn about…Read More

        On a somewhat related note (okay, it’s totally a tangent), my daughter and I were on a long car ride and I put on a playlist of 90s tunes and I told her, “The singer in this band is the guy who wrote the Simpson’s theme song.” True story. Of course, he wrote the song with more than a little help from the Jetson’s theme song.…Read More

      I’ve probably only started less than 10 projects that never saw the light of day (since 2010).

      I’m getting soooo many emails from plugin and sample developers that read something to the effect of “Black Friday is Finally Here!” Um, no, it’s literally not finally here. Even more, I’ve started getting these on Tuesday — which, according to my research, is still not Friday.

      It’s pretty clear that sample and plugin developers aren’t waiting until Black Friday to have Black Friday-like sales. Clearly, there’s a mad dash by developers for our Black Friday money.

        The mods over at the old place have been cleaning up posts with mentions/links to this board. I believe if you write the URL or the name normally, one’s post will be automatically withheld for mod action (= deletion). It’s quite the paranoid android over there.
