Misc notes
Posted by SpikeDec 30
I’m really good at finding things to do OTHER than the things I should be doing.
This weekend, in preparation for my upcoming 2 weeks in Thailand, I went through the various “best albums of the year” lists on Q, Uncut, Mojo magazines and several other miscellaneous sources. I compiled a list of those albums, 195 in all. I then obtained as many of them as possible, 149 so far (okay, not that difficult, I already had 104 of them). Then loaded them all onto the iPod, with proper tags and artwork of course. Then I retagged the genre on each of them to “Best 2007″ so they’d all come up together. Then, since a couple of those magazines had identified what they thought were the key tracks from each album, I made those into playlists.
Ummm …. you don’t need to tell me I’m not normal. I already knew that.
==================================
The Netscape Browser – 1994-2008. R.I.P. AOL has announced that they will officially stop new development on Netscape as of February 2008. Netscape was the first widely available browser for the world wide web. Like many, I’d been using the internet before that, mostly via command line interfaces for email and usenet, and Netscape was the key to the universe. At one time the most popular browser, its share has now fallen to about 1%. Feeling a touch nostalgic over this.
