Paying for music

I thought it would never happen.

I've written before (Well, I tried...) about the stupidity of on-line music sales, and how it
just became to much hassle (buy with iTunes, run each file through JHymn to turn the random file format into MP3's I can actually listen too), they didn't have what I wanted, or just deliberately broke the un-foobar'ing program I used to make their music usable.

Until this week, when all the who-har over allofmp3.com (and their alltunes.com client) being down for a weekend provoked me to try it.

It's just what I said I wanted way back (When is a computer not a computer ?). High-quality (the more I pay, the more it costs) plain-old MP3s, a huge catalogue of stuff

Should have walked to station

I pumped up a front tyre at weekend because it was a bit low.

Flat this morning :-(

Changed now but next train 9.46 !

Hope work will be OK with this as it's still my first month.

Removing text from rrdtool

Annoyed that people keep asking you about the stupid little message on the side of your rrdtool graphs ?

Worry, no more, just open up src/rrd_graph.c and head on over to line 1964 or there abouts (such for 'RRDTOOL' or 'logo').
Move the '*/' down to after the 'TOBI OETIKER");', like this:
/* rrdtool 'logo'
    gfx_new_text( im->canvas,
                  im->ximg-7, 7,
              &nbs

Monitoring Zen ADSL usage

This page was for the version 1.0 client, which is now obsolete.

The Internet belongs to the bad guys

Well that's it then.

The spammers have started running the people who try and keep the 'net safe out of town :-(
Guess our server will have to just bin 300-odd emails/day rather than reporting them.
