Yay for being happy [Nov. 29th, 2004|03:38 am]
[Current Mood | happy]
[Current Music |Ralph Fridge - Angel]

Wow, I've not heard this song in ages. I'd totally forgotten about it. Something about the vocals being quite chilling. Hmm.

Just bought [info]deadstar_1 a 12 month paid account.

And now iTunes is playing Placebo's Bulletproof Cupid, which I love. :)

I'm in such a happy mood and I don't know why. Weird.

Offtopic thought: I need my mum's HD back from work, real soon, or else I'll be in for hassle when I get home.

It's weird seeing my userpic in this random photo of [info]xb95's...

Also, just realised I don't need to hand in study skills stuff until next Monday, not 10am this morning. I feel some Halo 2 is in order, as a celebration. :p

MusicBrainz [Nov. 29th, 2004|12:37 am]
[Current Mood | impressed]

MusicBrainz is damn cool. It fills out the ID3 tags in MP3/AAC files by calculating the acoustic signature of each file (the audio content, not the actual entire file -- effectively LISTENING to the music within those files). It's not amazingly fast (7 seconds per song * 2279 songs = 4hrs 30mins roughly, were I to run it on my entire library), but it's very very cool, nonetheless.

Windows/Mac OS X only at the moment, but as I keep all my music on my PowerBook, I'm not complaining.

Props to [info]brad for pointing this out.

PS. This reminds me a lot of Shazam.

TV Licensing [Nov. 25th, 2004|08:38 pm]
[Current Mood | annoyed]

Fucking TV Licensing people won't leave me alone, despite the fact that I. DO. NOT. HAVE. A. TV.

Yes, I know I don't have a license. Why? I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING TV, MORONS.

Yes, I know that if you caught me with TV reception equipment I'd face prosecution. Want to know why that doesn't bother me? I DON'T FUCKING HAVE A TV!

You "unfortunately missed [me] today, but will call again in a few days", so that you can catch me using a TV that I DON'T HAVE?

TV Licensing wastes so much taxpayers' money it's not true.

Assholes.

"Lee Harvey Oswald-wannabes will be able to simulate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy when Traffic Games releases the $9.99 JFK Reloaded on Monday to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas. 'It is despicable,' said a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother."

In other news, last week was weird. But this week seems to have started quite positively.

I really should finish sorting these notes out. And laundry, cos I need clean clothes or else I'm screwed for tomorrow.

Heads up, courtesy of [info]jackola [Oct. 31st, 2004|01:27 am]
[Current Mood | unsurprised]

"Here's an important heads up ...

Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed she had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres.

She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected.

She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters. They took all her information, and told her that she wasn't the first to report a similar incident and that they are looking into it. So check before you leave the polling booth, and if anything is wrong, get it corrected immediately. Report any irregularities to your local Democratic headquarters. Make sure you pass this along to your friends ... hopefully this is all over the airwaves by tomorrow ...

The Texas voting fraud is for real. I called the Austin office (Dem. Nat. Comm.) 512-637-1737 and they said that it has been happening a lot. They don't know why but the machines seem more "sensitive" this year and that every voter MUST check their summary as the presidential choice often rolls over to the republican choice if you vote straight democrat."

I was bored.

A new incarnation of Unadopted's eternal "there's nothing here" page.

I really should do something with that site.

Having said that, that page is cool.

Ugh, tired. And people are noisy outside.
