As previously mentioned… We are still looking for a Linux Server Admin who wants a full time gig…
If you are one, or know one, get in touch with me…

Sites, Live, Without…
Michael at TechCrunch talks about sites he loves/lives by, so I thought I’d respond with my thoughts on each one…
- Bloglines – Years ago I loved Bloglines, but eventually moved to a hacked-up version of Feed on Feeds running on my own server. I don’t have all of Bloglines features, but I’m in control of it.
- del.icio.us – I still post to del.icio.us, but thanks to Scuttle and some hacking, I mirror it all in case anything happens.
- FeedBurner – I don’t use it for any of my feeds, but I can see how it’s useful for many people.
- Flickr – This is definitely on my list of favorite/most used sites. I love them Flickr folks…
- Measuremap – I don’t use it. I still use Analog.
- Memeorandum – I don’t use it.
- Netvibes – I don’t use it.
- Omnidrive – I don’t use it.
- Pandora – I don’t use it.
- Skype – I don’t use Skype. I don’t like Skype. I do use IM though, AIM because I’m forced to, and Jabber, I mean XMPP because I want to…
- Technorati – I use it occasionally…
- WordPress – WordPress is at the top of the list. A well written and supported GPL’d weblogging package. Of course I run it on my own server…
- Yahoo Maps – I use it sometimes, other times I use Google Maps. Double True!
For a lot of these sites/services, if I can be in control, and run them (or something similar) on my own server, I will. None the less, it’s an interesting list…

DRM’d Files Playlist
Did you get any iTunes Gift Cards for the holidays? If so, remember that all that lovely music from the iTunes Music Store comes dipped in that nasty DRM coating. But fear not! You can remove that coating! Audio CD’s my friends… They are a good thing. Good for backup, good for removing the unwanted coating from your files.
Here’s the playlist I use to find anything that might come across as an AAC file with DRM. (Oddly enough, I’ve even seen a podcast or two fall into this playlist, which was very strange indeed!) You can also look at your Purchased Music playlist, but I was curious as to what else made it into my library with the DRM coating on it.
I’ve been amazed at how much more important playlists are to me now that there’s an iPod in the mix. (Yes, I’ve joined the iPod Army. I am one of you now. Hooray!)

Remember delisync for Scuttle?
Well, a fellow by the name of Omar Zevallos sent me his version with some improvements. So now you can grab that from my scuttle directory…
Thanks Omar!
