MFC and BSG

By Phil Urich (Sun Mar 04, 2007 at 11:14:02 PM EST) MFC, Chebyshev, oops, BSG (all tags)

So, I have an MFCX entry, though it won't upload; I'm not surprised by the latest BSG ep's ending though I haven't downloaded it yet.

Inside: uploading weirdness, why my MFC entry sucks in the particular ways that it does, and a poll on which Battlestar Galactica main character should be killed off.

The mp3 is under 10 megs; it won't go. Weirder, though, the very basic and minimalist cover I upped does CLAIM to be up there. It gives a "not found" error, though; this is the entire text of the page I got when I upped it:

---------
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpctXaAE' to '' in /home/httpd/duff/256k.org/mfc10/insert-cover.php on line 59

Hey, it worked! Now, go look at the list.
---------

So what went wrong?

My shitty, two-second cover (I just felt like it, what can I say) is also up here in both JPEG and PNG (ie. dirty hippy image format, I suppose).

The tune itself? Well, I ended up running out of time, having left it all to the last minute and suddenly every task in the world ambushed me. Thus I only had my test vocal track and test guitar track. Worse, though, my computer had been acting weird about line in and thus I had recorded to my mp3 player, which in past has worked fine but this time I had the guitar recording FAR too loud and so that track was just a trainwreck of bad distortion and clipping. So I just went with it, kicked it up a notch even with heavy Chebyshev distortion to make it sound more deliberate and less of an error. It's actually the part of the song I rather like, despite my amateurish playing lying underneath it! My hit-and-miss vocals, err, I like those less so.
