Mozart online

Via Yahoo

VIENNA (AFP) - Sheet music of all of Mozart's works is now available online for free, following an initiative by Salzburg's International Foundation Mozarteum in honour of the 250th anniversary of his birth.

The Digital Mozart Edition (DME) website features over 600 works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, separated into ten categories, from concertos for orchestra to chamber music and pieces for piano.

Mod Rewrite - changing url variables

The following Mod rewrite rule redirects somewhere.com/test.php?val=1234&blah=widget
to somewhere.com/test.php?val=321&blah=widget

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^val=1234&blah=widget$
RewriteRule .* test.php?val=321&blah=widget [R=301,L]

This is useful if , for example, people are finding you via "old" urls in Google (or if you've changed the url variables you are using). The [R=301,L] bit is important , as this redirects the users browser to the new version of your url (which they can then bookmark).

Hat tip:Gareth Jones blog

Very interesting blog btw , where Gareth writes about the day to day work that goes into producing the new Erasure album. Lots of tech details for the synth nerds like me out there, and a sprinkling of short YouTube videos of Andy and Vince to camera.

update: "anonymous" is the comments has said that its not Ableton that Andy is looking at. Anyone got an idea what it is so?

update 2: Anon is correct. It's not abelton, its Logic Audio.
