Some more tech sweetness
So the other day I got into Delicious bookmarks. I use Firefox almost exclusively, as it blows IE out of the water. I'm tabbed browsing addicted and the last time I tried Opera it was kinda flaky for me on Linux. The only problem is, I have like 5 sets of bookmarks between work, home (1 on Linux and on Windows) and then again on the other comp. I used to sync the two linux preferences, but to do that to the work machine would be too cumbersome. So I used delicious. Anyways, my bookmarks are now online at

Now some people have talked about not wanting that to be private. Well I don't think I bookmark anything I don't care if people see on the internet. The more you talk about the technology behind cordless and cell phones. Between land lines and the internet, the more you just get the feeling at some point someone is going to be talking about you. The only real deal is to be ready to handle Identity theft and know your always out in public unless you shut the windows and don't use technology for a bit. So they are there, I tag something quite regularly.
The newest item on there I found yesterday which is on automatically ripping high quality AACs that I browsed to while waiting on a compile. I'm getting some clipping on some of my hip-hop, so I'm going to re-rip that and possibly all of my music in the near future to fix it. But for now I have a mod-podge of stuff. So I have it for at home even though I was at work when I found it. A great way to save state between work and home, kind of like newsgator, but more multipurpose.
That brings me to my default iPod sync software. I swapped over to iTunes from Amarok. Amarok is a pretty sweet player. I like it a lot. But a few things about it just make it a bit unusable to me. I can't really sync up my music well and sending 7 of 30 bible reading podcasts was a bit too much for it I guess. I really should wip out some Programming Kung Fu on it, but I seem to waste all my evening free time on WoW, or with the kids and doing house work. Oh well, WoW is my entertainment lately, and software has been work. I generally enjoy work, but I just haven't been pumped on it like before. I don't think I'd rather force myself to do anything else for 40 hours a week though.
BTW, my main is at lvl 48 on WoW. Not too shabby. I've been chasing one of my friends for weeks, and he's 3 lvls up on me still. If you play on Cenarion Circle, horde side, then pst Jekahn and say you read my blog.
