IRiver Creeping towards ipod

I'm still using my Iriver H100 and still loving it but there were some things that i felt were lacking., see: http://www.iriver.com/company/news_view.asp?idx=373 . It seems my shortcomings have been dealt with. File deletion and on the fly playlists. The firmware is not realeased yet but I can't wait. If any mac users also use Linux and want expose try skippy, really awesome, but beware if you are a KDE user,set the key binding to "Scroll_Lock" or you'll get errors.

DMOZ Listing

phil DMOZListing :). I must apologise profusely to all who have been incontact regarding work on Aggreg8. I have been Uber busy, setting up shop here in the UK. I am now sorted though, finally got myself a job(rippleffect.com), and have my office sorted too. I have another project I am working on now though, which should finish in a couple of weeks but after that I am Aggreg8 bound (I've said that before I know but this time I mean it:)). Anyway I hope ya'll are looking forward to Aggreg8 v0.2 ( See screenshot)
As you can probably guess, this is an Aggreg8 posting and I reckon I will start cross posting them all here.

Flash

One of the reasons I don't like flash sites is I have no control over how a link behaves…. I open all links in new tabs.. In flash you can't do that. I also saw Maxthon, a project that turns IE into a tabbed heaven. I'll try install through Cross Over office and report my findings. Of course i could just install it on my WinXP box but where's the fun in that.

Sad day..

My Grandads funeral was on Friday last. A very sad day but, it's a part of life eh?. We went fishing on Saturday in my grandads favourite lake and netted 19 fine looking trout. mmmmmmmm!!!!. I might say that it was my grandad giving us good luck but if you've seen Peter Kay's joke about the quavers, you'll know why I can't say that.

Technology changes everything

I travelled over to Norway with my Dad and my brother. We were in Copenhagen for a few hours and those of you that know Copenhagen know that it is a huge airport so it will come as no surprise when I tell you that I lost the other two. How do you think I found them ???.. Email!!. My Dad had his Toshiba L5 with him and I had my trusty iBook. We were both logged on through wifi. A quick mail soon sorted everything out. 🙂

Dillo

I'm in Oslo ariport at the moment hooked up on a 2 for 1 account (they don't know about it though as me and my dad are logged on with the same details). I've been playing with Fink and just installed the Dillo browser which I also have installed on my Suse box. I have never seen a quicked browser in all my life… truly blistering rendering speeds. I must also post about the Live Cds I have been playing around with. Knoppix is the ultimate Live CD with truly everything installed and running from a cd that you could imagine. Damn small linux is a nother great offering and at only 50MB it rules.

The ultimate machine

phil Finally after 3 re-installs I managed to get my dream machine up and running. My new machine arrived yesterday afternoon. It’s a Packard Bell iXtreme 6092 (minus monitor). It’s got an AMD 3000+ Processor with 512 MB RAM, 80GB hard drive and a DVD writer. And all for a very palpable GBP310, from ebay of course (tam-pcs). I have SUSE 9.1 Pro installed. I really like it, really smooth and fast and the apps I have installed could not be beaten; Firefox, Zend Studio, Open Office, Thunderbird, KOrganiser, KOpete, Amorok, Apache 2, PHP, MySQL, Mozilla, DigiKam, K3B, MrProject, KDevelop, XMMS, CrossOver Office -> thus (Adobe Photohop, Macromedia Flash MX, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and internet explorer 6 [for testing only 🙂 ]) and loads of other great ones too. It’s a work horse, eating up everything I throw at it. Well that’s enough for now. I’m off to Norway tomorrow morning to my grandads funeral. I’ll be back on Sunday , back to the grindstone. Sya folks

Bestefar Olsen

phil Bestefar Olsen died early this morning. A great man, was and still is what I aspire to be like. He will be sadly missed. It has put things in perspective really, more important things than getting a dream job. Thanks for your support lately guys……
