Humppa!

A new Eläkeläiset album.With mp3 samples.

The Madonna and Kylie covers are especially inspired. And the Cardigans. And Cameo. Rock!

Lord knows about the rest. I'm not up on this modern music.

Dear Apple

Fuck you.

No, really. While I rather care for the idea of your BSD-based (Well, Mach kernel, BSD userland, NeXTish UI) OS and shiny machines that are more than a little reminiscent of a Sharp cassette deck I bought in 1984 when silver meant Future, I'm somewhat less impressed with the utter balls-up the latest Quicktime install has made of my Winders box. If I want your woolly-jumpered nanny-knows-best environment, I'll go use it native. It's not going to fly on a machine that's slowly becoming KDEish (only with all the useful corners filed off so I don't hurt myself. And only one screen. Where are the virtual desktops, eh?) as Cygwin takes over.

Arse!

(There's probably a sensible answer to prising Qt's fingers off the capability to play MP3s from Firefox, but I'm not seeing it just now. Normal service is for the weak.)

It's time to hand in my idle bugger card and start looking for lycra things to wear:

(i) This afternoon, while waiting in a particularly well-chilled computer room for one of the semi-intelligent PDUs to restart, I started doing sit-ups to keep warm. They were easy.

(ii) I'm rather looking forward to the running-club-thing in two weeks.
