so, last week of april.

WHO TOOK MY APRIL? I WANT MY APRIL BACK YOU BASTARDS!!1!!!eleventy!

um, yeah, anyway…

• Rafe on the size of the club. I know I don’t really talk about “club stuff” (Twitter, et cetera) at work anymore because I got tired of people looking at me like I was a mutant. Over that, I mean.
• “Perfect setup” doc for new Ubuntu.
• “Enterprise” Ubuntu.
• eyeD3 — the only command-line Linux tool I’m aware of that lets you add album art to ID3v2 tags. Yes, I’m reripping everything again.
• Music Match Mixer on Linux — for the TODO file.
• Exercise appropriate caution when you recycle yer pr0n.
• Hula dead. JWZ right again.
• Weblogs cause fascism. Dammit, he’s on to us.
• Why I’m Not A Sysadmin Anymore — comments are worth checking out.
• Buy me
• Buy me 2. These bring the rock very much. More about that later.

You suck:

I love that after being sent to the wrong place, it sits around for 12 hours, even though it only takes 1 hour for it to get back to the right place.

My whole damn day has been like this today, I swear. So much for a relaxing day off…

April is not half over. April is not half over. There’s no place like home…

• Clonezilla - has some useful tricks; into the toolbox.
• Vanishing bee mystery - could we maybe do this to mosquitoes instead? Because that would be much cooler.
• Embrace the Suck - domain-specific jargon is the r0xx0r.
• The May Day Mystery - this always used to be good for about a half-day of head-scratching, back in my U.Arizona days
• Turf it to the minions!
• Tips on ripping vinyl. Currently reripping all the CDs to FLAC, with obsessive scanning of CD inserts and trayliners. Once that’s done, it’s time for the vinyl — although I’m going to need to buy a bigger scanner if I want the dust cover art from the LPs…
• Drive or Metro to Black Cat? I ask, MeFites deliver. Metro completely worked; I walked from Dupont and aside from the slightly crap weather, it was all good. Show rocked too.
• The Linus Torvalds Bus Factor - “bus factor”, heh.
• frontierkernel.org - getting Frontier running again would be cool. Every CMS thing since then feels like a step in the wrong direction.
• YA blogs-is-cool story. How 2002.
• Blogging Code o’ Conduct pushback: funny, serious. Good to see that many people still haven’t learned the essential lessons of Usenet.
• Tin-foil hat time: High-traffic Colluding Tor Routers in Washington, D.C. Confirmed.
• Abstinence study results. Science once again foils BushCo. Damn science, anyway.
• Tunneling iTunes shares over SSH. Port 3689, for future reference
• Sweatshop-free Chuck-a-likes. Current pair isn’t quite holey enough for replacement…
• Translation From PR-Speak to English of Selected Portions of Rails Developer David Heinemeier Hansson’s Response to Alex Payne’s Interview. I could do this with approximately 75% of the non-automated email correspondence I see, but it would probably only be funny for the first two or three weeks…
