Music, value and more meme inspired rambles

( List seven songs... )

Tag 7 people to keep doing it? Ok, I got tagged by stonefox84 and johnwordsworth. Who's from Bude. So it's only fair to tag susannah_banana, what with her being a famous DJ and all (Hi Suze!). So, having tagged a DJ, how about a club promoter? ollyb. Meh, bored with explanations. nadriel, tiredstars, faeriecween, aliennurai and, um, lithium_doll, but only because she keeps proclaiming she's not a goth so I want to know what she does like...

( The value of my blog(s)... )

It measures how many blogs link to your blog, but only those that ping www.weblogs.com, which I think is only paid accounts on LJ. A mention of a named lj user (like matgb) links to the /users/username not the username.livejournal so you don't get links to there. But still, tis suitably silly.

Oh, happy birthday today to daweaver, tomorrow to _mindrape_ and the day after to rx_ritalin. On that, can a non-paid user tell me what they get when they go to My LJ Portal? Sheer curiosity.

Scared. DRM on music CDs that auto installs itself?

Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far.

I was loading this page while putting a CD into my traditional, real stereo. I did think that maybe I should use the shiny box, but, well, I think I'll stick to something that can't be reprogrammed without my knowledge thanks. theweaselking once again provides the link, dial up peeps may wish to not be loading anything else, impressive number of screenshots.
