Part I - Santana

Two days ago, on Friday, April 4th, 2008, I attended a concert by guitarist Carlos Santana. It was amazing. If you do not know of Carlos Santana, here is a brief rundown of him: Carlos Santana was born in Mexico, then moved to San Fransisco at a relatively young age, where he learned to play guitar. A few years later, he became one of the greatest guitarists in the world. The end.

Anyway, so I saw him in concert, it was amazing, not just him, but his entire band (Consisting of three guitarists, three drummers, two lead singers, a keyboardist, and a bassist). The show was extremely loud, I was unable to hear for several hours afterword, but it was definitely worth it.

Part II - Human

I finally successfully patched my uxthemes DLL in Windows, so I decided to go through and convert, as accurately as possible, the Windows interface into Ubuntu (Pokemon stats: Height: 2'1'' Weight: 24 kg Type: Penguin/Ice)'s interface. The result is quite nice, but I find it insufficient. I really wish Windows' taskbar was more flexible, so that I could add widgets and the like. I really want to make the start menu like Ubuntu's applications menu, as well as add "places", and the other menu, which I forget. What I want more than that, is to add a separate taskbar for minimized windows, just like Gnome has. If you have any ideas of how I could do this, please tell me.

Who the hell is Carlos Sinatra? You've been listening to far too much punk.

Chigger: Hehe, the way I see it, the more enemies I make by seeing Santana, the better it was that I did. I don't see you MSN, am I just overlooking you?

Santana is the third most talented guitarist ever, in my opinion. He ranks right after Paige and Clapton.

He's great! I love his music. Especially "Black Magic Woman". His solos are amazing, too.

RabeArcade: They all have different styles, so I would say the comparison is completely wrong. The guitarists you listed are good, of course, but I wouldn't compare them.

It's amazing how amazed people can get when they don't listen to metal.

I'm not comparing their musical styles; that would be rediculous. I'm comparing what I consider their musical talent to be. (however, I'm probably not the best judge)
