Bounce was held on 22nd of November 2007 in Kuda Bandos. The event DJ Kina and DJ Gavin from Australia. Prior to this finale event they also conducted workshops.
I could here the difference in their samples – they were really good! Another difference that I’m beginning to notice with professional DJs is that the consistency in the levels of their mixing. My guess is that it’s not only in the recorded materials nor is it there metering alone, it’s a bit of everything and most importantly their critical listening ability. Once set, it remains like that.

Here are two indispensable calendars that I need when I plan my schedules. I consider them to be fundamental as all my schedules (including personal, business, schooling, etc.) usually have to revolve around these dates. Hence, I thought I’d share them. [More]

I was looking for something more power than iCal to manage multiple calendars, with multiple tasks by Calendar and I found iGTD. Initially, iCal seemed just fine (especially if you manage a few calendars with a few ToDos).
However, I felt that I was being very limited by it’s interface when entering a lot of tasks. Also, there’s no way to handle tasks than become mini-projects or big-projects. After a while, the ToDos on iCal gets very busy and cluttered when it tries to auto-sort into “today”, “tomorrow” and dates.

Flickr Finder for Mac is a cool application to browse Flickr photos through a Finder-like application on your mac. It’s speedier than browsing through a normal browser as it initially downloads little thumbs. This is especially time and bandwidth saving when on slow connections.

ianhenderson.org – delimport is a nifty little application that runs in the background, which makes it possible to search your del.icio.us bookmarks using Spotlight (only if you are on a Mac). This is very handy as you don’t have to have your del.icio.us bookmarks open in a browser to intiate a search.

I was invited to participate in a focus group, to give input and feedback on the proposed Regulation on Copyright 2007, by the National Bureau of Classification, under the Ministry of Information. On the whole, there was general consensus that the draft was satisfactory except for a few considerations. As of this writing, the draft has not been made public and hence, I cannot publish its contents as yet.

DUST (Dhives Underground Sound Test) by Associated Future Artists of Dhivehi Underground (AFADU), was held in Kuda Bandos on the 3rd of August 2007.
It was a DJ event portraying the talents of quite a few DJs from Maldives. Unlike most other DJ events that I have witnessed here in the Maldives, I was able to sense of genre and individualism in each of the DJs, which was really cool. The DJs included Ammu, Manal, Manko, Muku and Cubu.
Overall, the turn out was good.
Live / Tour Sound Company: Island Music, Maldives.
Team: Hambe, Ahmed and I
