I can all most see it in the distance. It is going to be a great year. Now that I’m working for myself I can optimize my sunshine time by booking off on those very hot days during the summer but for now Spring seems good enough for me.
Canadian Songwriters Propose Collective Licensing
“The Songwriters association of Canada has put forward a proposition for collective licensing of music for personal use. The Right to Equitable Remuneration for Music File Sharing would legalize sharing of a copy of a copyrighted musical work without motive of financial gain, for a monthly fee of $5.00 applied to all Canadian internet connections, [...]
Visualhub is my new best friend
VisualHub is a small application that is helping me convert my movies to h.264 MP4. Works great even though my HD content takes much longer to convert. It’s nice that all of my movies will be the same format and correctly and neatly organized in both its home folder and in iTunes under Movies. Click picture for [...]
iTunes is quickly becoming my new home for all media

HD and normal movie content

We are now a Mac family and so aside from the Small Business Server we are running for File/Print and Exchange Server and my Windows VMWare sessions [...]

They currently wouldn’t work with the iPhone’s music playback anyway and where simply to talk on the phone…..for now. I’m going to order a replacement piece and put them on [...]
New office stuff
Picked up a few new things for the office this week. A Seagate external 500GB Hard Drive (left of monitor), a 8GB USB key for my keychain and a 24 inch HDMI Widescreen Monitor for the Macbook Pro. I can do much more at once having a 24″ Widescreen and a 17″ Laptop screen running [...]
I’m still here.
I’m just finishing up a few medium size SBS (Small Business Server) installs. Not much is new other than its time to ditch the Christmas Tree and get ready for spring (optimism). We are going to Karaoke on Saturday at a place called M1 Karaoke in Inglewood. I imagine it will be like every other [...]
