today's musical notation lesson

So when writing down music that has lyrics, write out the lyrics first, because there's no way in hell you'll leave enough room for them if you write out the notes first instead.

Spreading the warning around

elfs posted a PSA warning about the "Your Friends-Only Post Has Been Stolen" IM thing going around. I'm just repeating it; I got one of these last night from an AIM username that was racist in nature, so I explored the provided link with wget, and it's just full of all kinds of nasty. Do not click on the URL if someone sends you that message in IM. I didn't do any sort of an in-depth analysis other than looking over what you get back in the initial wget response, but that was enough.
