Interesting stuff on the site but that isn’t the reason for the post. In the upper left hand corner there is the Hi-Fi button to push to listen to the radio feed. So being into some of this kind of music I try it. It takes me to Live365. Which says that the feed is only available to VIP users. This is not the first site I have gone to lately that uses Live365 and who knows it may be reasonable enough to try for a month. So I decide to see how much this radio thingie is. Go to the join now page and see that the payments are $5.95 a month or less depending on how long you are willing to, untried, commit to. Then I go and look at the TOS. Which are posted below in all it’s splender. I especially like section 8 where you have to send them written notice to cancel the service. After reading this CRAP I think I will PASS even though there are several stations that are only on this service that I would like to listen to. But not enough to put up with this kind of gargage agreement:

The British Library Gets It!
Monday, September 25 2006 @ 04:04 PM EDT
Finally! Somebody gets it that DRM is altering the copyright law bargain, by not allowing fair dealing/fair use. And it’s the British Library that is speaking out and saying that the same rules of the road should apply in the digital world as they have always done. Copyright law includes fair use/fair dealing, and there will be incalculable damage if copyright law in the digital environment doesn’t retain those limitations on the copyright owner’s rights. The Library has issued an IP Manifesto [PDF]. I wish to say thank you to the British Library for issuing this document.
The IP Manifesto’s key recommendations include, quoting from the press release:
* Existing limitations and exceptions to copyright law should be extended to encompass unambiguously the digital environment;
* Licenses providing access to digital material should not undermine longstanding limitations and exceptions such as ‘fair dealing’;
* The right to copy material for preservation purposes – a core duty of all national libraries – should be extended to all copyrightable works;
* The copyright term for sound recordings should not be extended without empirical evidence of the benefits and due consideration of the needs of society as a whole;
* The US model for dealing with ‘orphan works’ should be considered for the UK;
* The length of copyright term for unpublished works should be brought into line with other terms (ie: life plus 70 years).
In other words, copyright law should not change in the digital environment, and if it doesn’t change, then fair dealing and fair use are just as applicable there.
Glad to see that there are some folks out there that are starting to fight back aginst the damn DRM crowd…

This makes a LOT of sense. I have wondered for years why this type of ocean transport wasn’t more common. Guess the tech is catching up.

Now this is one COOL tool! The price is a bit steep for me right now, but as soon as I can figure a way to afford it, I am gonna get one of these suckers. From the video it seems to take one shot most of the time to remove a nail from a board. The recycling community should be eating these things up if they work as advertised. Wonder how it will do on pallets?

LOVE the KDE disclaimer!
(Disclaimer)
They may not work. They may not even install. They may make your monitor explode in a shower of glass. EVEN LCDs! They may make your children grow horns, and cause the people in your neighborhood to explode spontaneously while doing the Macarena. They will rip out your eyeballs, and eat your soul with a really dull spoon, laughing and cackling while forcing Cheerios up your nose. They will make your intestines explode in a rain of confetti, while evil clowns bite your feet.

Techdirt: European Newspapers Look To Reinvent Robots.txt
Tis plain that these folks have no grasp on standard usage of robots.txt. You don’t want the page/site indexed just put it in the damn robots.txt file and forget it. The spiders respect that file IF it is written right.
Session Manager :: Mozilla Add-ons :: Add Features to Mozilla Software – A Short Review

Session Manager :: Mozilla Add-ons :: Add Features to Mozilla Software
If you use Mozilla and use multiple tabs/windows and have had the experience of having the browser quit on you, then not remembering what tabs were unread even after digging through history, then this is for you.
This extension adds a tool to the tool menu called Session Manager. If the browser crashes or you quit or close the main window instead of just the tab, when you restart you have the option of selecting from the last X # of sessions. Option is set to 1. I have mine set at 3 just to see how it does.
Another feature is closed tabs memory. With this little gem an incorrectly closed tab is only a Tools Menu > Session Manager > Closed Tabs click away. Preset option is 10 closed tabs and this seems reasonable to me so I left it as is.
Check out all of the options after install to enable Sessions Manage and set your prefs.
So far seems very stable. Don’t note any speed difference. Will have to try it with a couple of days worth of tabs and see how it does.
In my opinion this extension should become a part of the standard distro. A must have!
Happy birthday Steve!

Just a quick entry to wish you the best of days on that worst of days. 😉
Hope you have/had a good one!

The monthly War is over, now to recover
By Dave, September 23, 2006 11:33 pm
Has been a long few days but am back among the blogging. War is over and masses were fed without misshap. Or not many problems.
Today has been spent in front of and over fires and I am SO glad it’s done and yet strangely enough still looking forward to the next one. Fed 30+ as near as I can tell. They ate 35 burgers, 30 hot dogs, 3/4 gallon of baked beans, 2 pounds of potatoes, 1 pound onions, one pound carrots, 30+ hamburger buns, 25+ hot dog buns, many sodas, 10 pounds ice, 1 pound assorted sliced cheese, 1 pound chips, assorted biscuts & cornbread & bread, 1/2 gallon chilli, and many pickle spears…
Much more was put in the freezer for eating later. Next game I am gonna figure on more meat and less vegatables. Also need to get more chairs and look at building a LARGE eating area/feast hall.
Had several compliments on the food and site. Several said that it was one of the best maintained sites they had ever played at. One of my/our next goals is to see about clearing for and building additonal buildings/objectivies. throughout the property.
Long day done. 1220 posts in my feed reader too catch up on but as storms are due later tonight and tomorrow will close for now and try to get some much needed rest before they hit…

Builder of the Moonbeam 3 wheeled motorcycle/car/transport. With pics and a basic discription of what he used and how he built it. Interesting but I don’t feel a burning need to build one of these. Yet.
