Trimming my iTunes Library

I’m trimming my iTunes Library. It was 8.9gb with 2054 tracks. It’s now 7.65gb and at 1750 tracks.

And I’m not even done yet. It’s fun manically deleting Manic Street Preachers tracks. :p

  • LiveJournal’s core staff officially suck

    Yes, you read it, LiveJournal’s core staff officially suck.

    We were promised several times that invite codes were going to go away in January once and for all.

    LiveJournal just changed it’s mind.

    Danga (the company behind LiveJournal) seems to regret making it’s source code open source. It used to hail other sites running the code as “partners” and there was going to be one huge interconnected journalling network. Now, we’re referred to as “clones” and we’re looked down upon, with posts such as this one, made in :
    But _____________ (insert LJ clone site) lets you have 9 million userpics! Yes, but do they scale? Do they understand the code they’re running? Will they be around in a week or a month? Do they have advertisements all over their site? We may not offer 9 million userpics for free, but we have high moral standards, we’re in it for the long run, and we know our code.

    I seriously think we should boycott LiveJournal.com and use the “clone” sites instead. Maybe it’d wake Danga up a little bit if Minilog.com became more popular than their beloved LiveJournal. So everyone: pack up and move to Minilog!

    has a brilliant post about this whole issue here.

  • Reading the past like a book

    Jess is so damn cool. She took me to the first gig I ever went to (The Cooper Temple Clause). But she gave up on her journal ages ago and we kinda drifted apart and yeah. I missed her lots.

    BUT SHE’S BACK! And I (rather over-obsessively) just read her entire journal. But yeah, knowing she’s okay and stuff has made me really hyper and bouncy. :) YAY!

  • A passing thought, to blow away the ashes

    I have all this cool stuff going round in my head and I think of all these cool things and I always thing “I should share this and post it in my journal” but I never get round to posting anything of interest.

    I miss Cat. Jo hates me for reasons that I won’t go into here, and probably half the world hates me. I couldn’t give a shit right now.

    Thank fuck Jon was in there too.
