Thoughts on Apple’s music store

So, Apple unveiled their shiny new toys today. The Apple Music Store is a good idea, but the music selection is still very limited. Of the twenty random artists in my music collection I searched for, I got zero results. Unless you count some random redneck country hillbilly music when I searched for God Module.

Damn crazy Japanese

I’ll be keeping an eye out for a used copy of Ikaruga at TV-Spelsbörsen. It’s such a niched game that many will probably buy it, don’t like it and sell it again.

Also, it’s made by a bunch of crazy Japanese.

The new iPod looks darn sleek.

Via Penny Arcade I got wind of the next Phantasy Star [...]

RSS feeds moved

To the horde of you who get my feeds from /index.rdf and /index.xml: they now live, and have done for several months, in another place. Refer to the links in the sidebar for new URLs.

The ones in the root dir were actually symlinks to the new location, but now I’m generating a proper Error 301 [...]

Got anything to declare?

I’ve been thinking about buying myself a laptop. An iBook, to be more specific. Apple recently beefed up the [...]

Think inside the box

Dean Allen has a new pet project with the very nice name of Textbox (wish I had thought of it first — would be perfect for a blog). Textbox will be a web log hosting service running his own homegrown Textpattern system.

At the same time, Ben and Mena Trott, masterminds pulling the strings at Six [...]

Bring your asbestos boxers

Says Linus Torvalds:

Ok, there’s no way to do this gracefully, so I won’t even try. I’m going to just hunker down for some really impressive extended flaming, and my asbestos underwear is firmly in place, and extremely uncomfortable.

I want to make it clear that DRM is perfectly ok with Linux!

There, I’ve said it. I’m out [...]

There’s a phase in your life, usually the years before you hit the teens, where you somehow feel that it is important to act grown-up and eschew anything childish and immature.

Screw that, I say. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s stupid not to do something just because someone else might think of it as [...]

In Google we trust

Some search engine queries that led people to my site.
