Floola v5.0 released

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:11:00 +0000

I have written before about Floola, I use this for my ipod's now that my Rio Karma has died.
Version 5.0 has been released and fixes include;
# better item list sorting (including in playlists)
# season and episode number of TV Shows can now be edited
# optional confirmation before podcast delete
# improved png artwork support in mp3 files
# does not crash anymore when removing rules from smart playlists
# all episodes in a podcast can be marked/unmarked as unlistened
# main listbox columns are resizable when browsing playlists
# issue displaying small artwork on iPod
# linux: check for other processes that might interfere with Floola
# improved generation detection
# improved compatibility with iTunes artwork database
# faster artwork delete
# iTunes 8.1 compatibility
# fixed some exception while loading artwork on startup
# fixed issues while quitting
# threaded artwork library write
# fixed cosmetic issues when using mid and big artwork thumbs
# photo synch window minor cosmetic issues
# text notes manage window improved
# startup empty podcast error message was fixed
# fixed a crash when deleting podcasts

Benefits for me will be the improved generation detection as i have a couple of mini's and a classic and it stumbled and faltered when swapping. Visit Floola to grab a copy, win, mac, linux

Bruce almighty!

Glastonbury 2009

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 10:39:00 +0000

I have just paid the balance on Kerry's ticket via seetickets I rang them on the 1159 934 183 number and they confirmed that apart from the reserved tickets they had sold out!
A small number will be up for resale when they have counted how many people have not paid the balance after paying the deposit of £50 and forfeiting the chance for the greatest festival in the world!

From the confirmation email :)
'You have booked to attend GLASTONBURY 2009 BALANCE at Worthy Farm, Pilton-Somerset on 26-28th June 09'

So you have until 23:59 today to pay the balance...

Winehouse to eat Eoghan....

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 22:43:00 +0000

After searching for the x-factor results after the sky+ box crashed whilst recording we are not amused, i pointed laura to digitalspy which has some of the fastest forums for tv around.
She found the answser and i looked at the site after she had finished, the spywire (a quick newsfeed) read Winehouse wants to meet Eoghan I did misread it completely but it made me chortle.

xbmc Atlantis beta 2 released...

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:05:00 +0000

Visit xbmc for the latest version, the first beta version one worked well on my dell, with it running in windowed mode it means I could have it running in the background on the second monitor.

itunes 8

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:50:00 +0000

Ever since I added an ipod to my list of gadgets (it took a long time as I preferred my rio karma and even the creative MuVo²) I have wrestled with itunes it just doesn't do want I want it to do!
So I use floola instead and everytime an update comes out for itunes floola gets an update too. With it currently at 3.6 it supports every ipod out along with that motorola phone that worked with itunes. floola allows me to do pretty much everything I want, I can add podcasts, single mp3's and audiobooks. photo support along with flac conversion oh and it supports last.fm!
so why the post about itunes? well the last time I installed it I ended up with safari and if I installed the latest version I would end up with 4 apple apps that I dont need. so a post on lifehacker made me look again, they had linked to a zdnet blog which had tips on how to exclude the extras no mention of safari this time around though. It is all a little too complicated for me so I will leave it and play with floola instead!

Fish n Chips

noreply@blogger.com (neal whitehouse piper) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:02:00 +0000

We ate out on Saturday, at Rick Stein's fish n chippy at Padstow, not The Seafood Restaurant but the harbour side takeaway.
Service was a little iffy and the fish although battered nicely was not the best I have tasted, Kerry and I did think that the chips were nice though.
We also had a pot of garlic mayo which was served in a small polystyrene pot this coupled with the plastic cutlery reflected poorly on rest of the chip shop industry who use standard wooden forks.
These are the ones he should be using!

Overall a thumbs down from me.

I did a little bit of searching today, I was looking for a couple of music downloads after spotting after picture of Siouxsie (home page) in the NME
Laura is in this week's mag (page 3) so I had to buy it then read it, she is in Europe for three week's. Buy the mag for the picture or leave a comment for a scan.
So there I was stumbling around and I also went looking for some other members sites, Steven Severin had been updated this morning with a little piece of personal news about a new photo portfolio he has released with candid photos signed (but out of my price band @£100) with Robert Smith from the Banshees tour in 1983 which was EXACTLY the time period I had been looking for! The portfolio is called Japanese Whispers 'Robert in Tokyo 1983' all pics are available to view in his myspace above is a preview.
The other interesting item was the amount of downloadable radio sets out there - no links from me, google them i want them to survive! I grabbed a handful of shows this afternoon that will go onto the ipod in short rotation. My radio in my work van is not the best and driving is a somewhat solitary job so you need something good to listen to. Groups must hate myspace, when you visit the sites of these individuals you can see the effort and hopefully the input that the artists have put into them when you visit myspace it goes a little crazy!
The downloads - yes I got them from 7digital
