Here is a Windows program to remove the DRM from iTunes Music Store purchases.
Gmail screenshots. This thing has some serious DHTML kung-foo. I heard it does autocomplete in the search field! How is that possible?
This is page is undergoing some redesign. I've removed all my links, but now there is a larger list that is a slightly edited export of my browser bookmarks on the links page.
In the past I would use the links on my page for much of my daily surfing, but the ability of Safari to simultaneously open all links in a bookmark folder as tabs has won me over. So my plan now is to build my bookmarks in Safari, and then export them to that links page whenever I make substantial changes. The present list is a first pass, and lots more sorting needs to be done.
The free program Safari Bookmark Exporter helps in converting to plain HTML.
MB and a lot of the building went down to D.C. for the march today. I'm feeling a bit guilty for not going, but I just couldn't handle the 4:30 am wake up call. Still, I'm with them in spirit to the degree this is possible. Hopefully more people will be like her than like me and the turn out will be substantial.
Nice to be back in NYC. Beautiful weather. And 2168 spam emails waiting to greet me.
Home tomorrow...
Excellent new Crytpo-Gram from Bruce Schneier, including pieces on national ID cards, and a cost-benefit analysis of stealing an election (he's written extensively in the past about technical problems with electronic voting machines.)
Leaving tomorrow morning for a week in Miami. Lots of running around with my head cut off today trying to get ready. Will hopefully replace my SD storage card in my phone so that I can get the photolog working again.
Temperatures should be around 80. I haven't felt warm in so long!
Shtoom is a open-source, cross-platform VoIP softphone, implemented in Python. As well as the basic phone, the package also includes a number of other applications -Looks like their commercial application uses this in a package that combines blogging and VoIP for the corporate world. Wow, I'm trying to get my head around that.
- shtoom - the end-user phone
- shtam - a simple answering machine/voicemail application
- shmessage - an announcement server
Shtoom should work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It ships with user interfaces for Qt/KDE, Gtk/GNOME, Tk and a command line. There will hopefully be native user interfaces for Windows and the Mac soon, until then, the Tk interface works on those platforms.
