I recently got picked up 4 CD’s that I wouldn’t have bought if it weren’t for downloading the MP3s:

I mentioned MP3 splitting last month. This month is about MP3 joining/merging software (sure you could just cat together, but for neatness you want to rip of the wrapper blocks):
- mpgtx – an mpeg toolbox, gpl cmd line, does video and audio
- AVI-Mux GUI, BeSweet – audio/vid transcoding, muxing
- MP3BookHelper – does some related piecing together
- e-w@re MP3 Merger – looks like it never made it past v0.3, and the web-site is gone, but it works
There are non free/Free ones, but well, why bother linking those?
John Cougar Mellencamp Speaks Out (on politics, racism, the music industry)
…They had a long laundry list of problems. Their complaint was, “You have this beautiful chorus [‘Come on baby take a ride with me/ I’m up from Indiana down to Tennessee’], why do you have to fill the song with these things that will agitate people?” Well, that’s what the song is.
Did they come around in the end?
No. That’s why I left Columbia Records.
Because you didn’t feel you could work with people who felt that way?
Because I always thought it wasn’t the record company’s job to like the song. I thought it was their job to sell them. And I just didn’t see the point of me arguing with people about the material.
Before I get back to work, some hilarious comments on a SCO CEO interview /. post:
You’ve been living in a dreamworld, Mr. McBride.
Have you ever read some code, Darl, that you were so sure was yours? What if you were unable to prove it? How would you know the difference between your code and GNU’s code?
What is yours? How do you define yours? If you’re talking about your opinion, how you feel, taste, smell, or see, then all you’re talking about are conjectures — mere electrical signals that are likely misinterpreted by your brain.
…do you believe in OSS, Darl?
Is it so hard to believe? The code is different; The open relays in the binaries and daemons are gone. Look at the time & date management; they weren’t Y2K compliant a moment ago.
Darl: No! I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.
SCO’s investors: He’s gonna pop…
Here’s one in the form of a nigerian scam letter, fun legal games. Of course there’s some real discussion too, but it’s pretty much the same stuff, just all kinds of commentary on how SCO’s got nothing.
I went through my B-Boy Summit pics; looks like I have about two dozen semi-interesting photos out of about 700+ (1.7GB) shots. Actually, even out of these, there are only about three that I really like. Well, live and learn (could have definitely used a really wide [or fisheye] lens, also should have just shot motion outside).
A few shots from a weekend luau party. It’s easy to see why pyro-maniacs can get obsessed about this fire thing…
Topic: Build your own Treo 600. Just print, cut, and fold. You don’t need to tell anyone you did unless you’re feeling especially geeky. Err, wait…
Didn’t get too many great shots at the B-Boy Summit today (also, woke up late), but it was pretty fun. Caught the popping and locking competitions as well as other miscellaneous stuff. Some of these cats can DANCE.
Here’s a clip I took on my F402 (9.4MB) that does a bit more justice to the talent.
