Pre summer craziness

Temperatures are thru the effing roof around here... Apparently until Wednesday they will be easily crawling above 30.
Porca miseria!!!!

No Wikipedia For You!

That's a first one for me, haven't seen that error message before.
Maybe it's because of what I was searching.

Cruel Summer

And we are almost a month away from the real summer...
We'll be surfing on concrete by December 10th...

Phone Phreak P0rn

When the PlayCount's over

(Turn off the lights & start from zero again...)

Today moved my aging iPod (IIRC it is the so called "First Generation Video", that is over 5 years old!!) to the Linux side of thing for good.

In order to do that I had to format it as FAT 32, so... Good bye Play Count... I've reached the 36 plays on every song (at last) and it is time to move on, besides, moving to Rhythmbox, and therefore forcing a clean slate start, is helping me re-tagging a lot of songs, as well as discovering some new tunes.

There are still a few things to iron out, specially regarding the transfer of the Play Count from the iPod to Rhythmbox but I guess I'll find a way to fix that sooner or later.
Besides, found a new obsession with this whole play count thing and its Last.fm

Spring at full blast

Yesterday's insanely, absurd, outrageous max temperature...
And the dreaded summer hasn't even started yet.

Movies over the weekend

Star Trek (The Motion Picture)
What has to or can be said about this one?
What haven't been said already?
I've enjoyed it like a monkey, guess I didn't see it in over 10 years or so.

Super 8
Cute, nice, yes... The Spielberg homage, etc.

Moving to Rhythmbox

Been pretty busy lately and without any real desire to dig out what the hell its going on with Thor, and since I used use that box for iTunes listening, been listening to my music collection with Lucid Lynx's default player, Rhythmbox for the last week or so.

Basically I'm listening to all my music files practically from scratch, re-tagging, sorting out, there are a lot of files that either I or iTunes had left aside, and that I'm actually listening for the first time.
Compared to iTunes, Rhythmbox seems less polished, but nothing to write home about it, everything you need, or at least, I need, its there and it works.

Sojourner hard crash

Yesterday got Sojourner's (as a Thinkpad T60) first crash.
It was a mighty one, total freeze, no input at all, not thru Thinkpad's nipple, external USB mouse, keyboard nor trackpad.
Impossible to kill X Window, nor switching to a virtual console...
A hard reboot brought the lappie up once again with no apparent side effect.
Skimmed thru the logs, but found nothing at all.

Movies over the weekend

Captain America
Exactly what you expect. It gives you no more than what it promises...
The worst, IMHO, its the way that every single blockbuster movie nowadays simply paves the way for the next release, the second part, whatever... Without any sense of humility, just a formality... "The thing you just watched? You know, it continues".

Fanboys
Amazing movie, I loved it... Had to ripp it.
Hilarious, amazing, the Star Wars fan movie that you waited a life to see.

Apple-less

Well, Thor, the mighty Quicksilver PowerMac, refused to boot today... So, I'm out of Apple boxes at the moment...
Guess I'll have to go thru the whole PMU, SMC, & PRAM thing but I can't today.
Besides, the box its, to put it simply, a sound & heat monster generator; I was only using it for iTunes and iPod; but testes using the iPod with Linux and it wasn't much of a problem...

A little something about the weather

Even tho we are well onto spring, we're having amazing days.

Today was nirvana weather all day round...
A decent and pretty cold morning, followed by a mild afternoon; all with gutsy Southern winds, on top of that a lot of Sun and an amazingly dry weather.
This is the way summer should be...
