Faderhead – FH3


Bought this last week directly from Faderhead’s website, a bargain at 5.99 euros for a download of the whole album with a pdf of the cover. Excellent value for money and no DRM crap. Now if only someone explained ID3 tags to whomever prepared the files.
As for the album itself, it’s been on play in my car eversince, which given the fact that I drive 2-3 hours a day is a good sign. Short review: Hell yeah, buy it.

Lazy, lazier, Gmail


Nifty if you use gmail a lot and get a lot of mail that is along the same lines, gmail now offers canned responses. Or standard replies. You can make as many as you want, and for the truly lazy you can even combine it with filters for totally automated responders. Seeing as I don’t get that much standard mail on my gmail account I can’t think of any personal use for it, but I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who can.

Android goes Open Source

The operating system powering the G1, aka the Google Phone, is now available as Open Source. Which deserves a yay because 1) it means that a whole army of people around the world can now start tinkering with it and developing apps, or even modifying the OS, and 2) this should disprove all the tinfoil hats worried about selling their soul to Google. Oh yeah, and it’s linux based.
Now where’s the Yahoo phone?

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
