This entry isn’t exactly about Linux, but hey, Dan Lynch who hosts Rathole Radio is other part of Linux Outlaws -podcast. So yeah I just wanted to mention that if you are interested to find new music an listen to one guy from UK blabbering weird stuff between the songs (including “erm” every couple seconds, but I’m sure it’ll get better ;)), Rathole Radio -podcast is definitely worth of checking. :)

It seems that I’m in mood to write here. :P Better take all the benefit from the brainstorm as long as it lasts.

Libre.fm

Most of you have probably heard the latest change in Last.fm. Streaming is now chargeable for everyone who lives outside United States, Germany and United Kingdom. Obviously they have right to do whatever they want, I just think it’s stupid to exclude three countries… Anyway in the stream of this Matt Lee created Libre.fm, open and completely free equivalent to Last.fm. It is still in alpha state and what it does mostly atm is scrobbling… or rather gobbling. As mentioned it’s still alpha so if you want start using it, it requires bit more than just registering and typing your username and password somewhere. Client Support -page is also good to read, for example I had to tweak bit the QLScrobbler plug-in before I got gobbling work with Quod Libet.

I hope Libre.fm will keep on growing. :)

Ubuntu.9.04

Just wanted to mention that today is 23.04 and time for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, while writing this it’s not yet released, at least they haven’t put the download banners up in Ubuntu.com. I haven’t decided yet whether to try it while waiting the CrunchBang Linux 9.04 which should be released soon after the Ubuntu 9.04.
