No idea what kind of parties I was having in the apartment in May.

So now that iTunes almost does everything I would like, I’m using it. Dark
Side? Maybe but as long as I can keep using ogg/vorbis I’m happy. Here’s the
current challenge. How can I keep multiple iTunes libraries for different
locations? The goal is to take my laptop with me and never have a busted link
in iTunes since the bulk of my 50 gig music collection is on a file server at
home.

I don’t have a solution yet but I do know that there is only one file
responsible for keeping the whole index in order. By default it lives in
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml. Since it’s XML, it would be possible
to do some text parsing and make slight changes to the library and have
multiple databases. Changing locations would be as simple as moving a file and
replacing it with another. Of course the Mac wankers would want some fancy GUI
with a plastic button that was labled “change library”. Maybe some day but for
now I’ll keep you posted on the shell script I hack together.

Has there been a video as funny in it’s objectification of ass and titties.
Dougal Wilson has taken Benny Benassi’s “classic foam party club anthem”,
not
my words, and set it to slippery bitches with power tools! Did I just
say slippery bitches? Holy shit. That’s the only way I can describe
his
music video.

me cry. E, your feelings are not in vain.
