Music upload sites

Numly.com- Maybe I've been trying to force a round peg into a square hole. This site must really only be meant for the original user. It's not geared to having other people be able to access. Which is a bit wierd because the purpose should be that other people can see that something was done by you.
The portal page links well to text files created with docly. But for other files the links have to be hosted by you. So all this provides is a little extra assurance.
The developer is very responsive but the site has a long way to go in terms of usability. Songs have to be uploaded twice. Unchanging information needs to be added manually every time.

Garageband.com- The interface is very confusing. I found myself on the podcast upload page and then couldn't figure out how I got there (switch to the Tab "My music"). It's a hell of a lot of work to add a song which is why I'm switching to their podcast feature. But now I lose ratings and comments.

Youtube- They are now for musicians but they don't except mp3s. Maybe when I have some videos.

Neooffice, Openoffice x11, and Abiword

I was annoyed by Neoffice's slowness so I took a quick look at the alternatives. Openoffice X11 had a very bad looking interface but even worse the font look jagged and distracting. It was faster.
Abiword has trouble with my document- letters are cutoff. There isn't much in the way of navigation besides a Table of Contents. I might be able to make it work if I saved as Rich Text. Very snappy performance.

T-amp vs. Panasonic reciever

I tried out the t-amp (@$20, low energy, small) against my Panasonic reciever (@$250, high energy, big) and there was no clear difference in quality. There may have been more presence on the Panasonic but I suspect it was modifying the signal.
If I were doing it again I'd get the t-amp. Now I'm not quite sure what I'll do with the Pansonic.
