Bye Bye iTunes

imagesI have finally removed iTunes from my computer. Now Amazon are selling DRM free mp3s here in the UK and Songbird has become a pretty good free music player I have decided to get rid of it. It has turned into a bit of monster in my opinion so I think I will manage without it now. I am sure my computer will probably appear to run faster for a bit too.

My first purchase on the Amazon mp3 store was Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah to try and make sure the probably awful cover by the X-Factor winner doesn’t get to number one! I think I might buy the CD too just to cover all my bases!

I wouldn’t usually be at home at this time but I am waiting for a baby to be born - it seems to be taking it’s time but hopefully it will be out before Christmas!

Easter Eggs

Yes it's Easter soon so Cadbury's Creme Eggs roll out their advertising campaigns. I do like Creme Eggs as they are small and I don't feel as guilty as I do when I eat a big bar of chocolate. Perhaps they should bring out a Fairtrade edition to ...

Bad Superblock

My little mini-itx server does a sterling job as a home server. It makes available images, video and music all round my house via my wireless router/adsl modem. Just before I went on holiday I booted it and it would not start. When we got back from our hols I investigated ...

inlineRSS - this allows you to transform XML type feeds using XSL. This means you can make any feeds you want to show on your sight look exactly as you want. The only real requirement is that the server you run it on needs to be able to parse ...
