And so it begins. After two years of sitting in the dusty corners of my hard drive, I have started—after being inspired by my newfound unemployment—to take up the old reins on programming my automatic musical genre classification program, Audicon.

While the vast majority of the reasons I originally gave up on it were due to forgetting the old axiom:

The most important early product on the way to developing a good product is an imperfect version.

In essence, I had too many ideas about how to improve the existing code, whether by exhaustively/obsessively searching for a better way to write a small portion of it, or, in the case of the entire project, getting fed up with the limited syntax of Scilab's programming language and opting to write it in a language I knew could do the job with style (i.e. Perl).

More details on now this thing works to come...
