Out of the Loop

Posted in General at 2:52 am

I’m apparently way out of the loop. For the last year or so I haven’t been buying music off iTunes because there was no longer a way to get the DRM off the songs (this used to be because I didn’t have an ipod so I *had* to that–now I have an iPod so it’s just on principle). At least, I thought there was no longer a way, apparently there’s been a new way for a while. So in case you too are out of the loop, I give you QTFairUse 2.5.

Make sure you download the latest CFG file and put it in the program directory. Works with iTunes 7.1.1.

Today

I was productive today. I…

  • Went to church (no kidding).
  • Went to Costco and put gas in my car and bought stuff I needed. I can actually deal with shopping at Costco 15 minutes after it opens.
  • Raked some leaves in the backyard and declared jihad on some blackberry bushes. I also cleaned up some plant matter in front of the house.
  • Upgraded the software that runs this blog.
  • Did Laundry.

I’m very pleased with myself. Now I’m tired so I will be going to bed.

There must be no barriers for freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any asssertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.
—J. Robert Oppenheimer

In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
—J. Robert Oppenheimer

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.
