XXXXX SUNDAY, AUGUST 12 XXXXX

Share: A Place for Portables, Laptops, Powerbooks
Data exchange, mp3 djing,
performances. Actually speak to and see the people you are networking
with. Wow computers and a social life. At the same time no less.

A laptop-only live performance series, so all laptoppers can actually
experience each other's audio performance and exchange more ideas. If
you have any portables, bring it under your arm! But if you're a
super muscular person and willing to bring the desktop, that's
acceptable. I guess. Otherwise, everything's acceptable -- Windows,
Mac, Linux! Hey, Palm Pilot/Visor warriors, bring it in if you have
some nifty sound-network performance solution! Share and expand more,
seems to be the very base philosophy behind this. Eventually all the
attendees will be networking and create a huge laptop jam.

Open Air
121 St. Marks, between 1st and A avenues
new york city
Continues every Sunday
4-9p; $free

hmm i want OS X!!! and a TitBook. and Airport. and then I will go to HAL and learn about SMS encryption and mobile security, and also do a beginners session in UNIX, and then... hopefully, i might know something.

and yeah MSIE crashes a lot under OS9.1, but it looks a lot nicer than nutscrape, and has a much better UI... i hate mikro$phoft too.

Jesus christ. I write up a huge post consisting of all the great new music I've discovered, and I go to click Post & Publish, and IE FUCKING CRASHES.
This is during the first 30 minutes of me using OS 9.1. Is there any wonder I stick by OS X so much? IT DOESN'T DO STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS. That and there's a decent browser for it.
I hate MS and I hate MacOS 9.1. Christ!

duh! i didn't even think about that... stupid... but the thing is, you'd have to invest in a whole new stereo unit / walkman / datadrive it all sucks. i reckon everything should just be digital, and rather than having media to transfer just use tcp/ip... so you hook your stereo up with rj45s, and your tv and your video etc. maybe firewire would be a better choice thinking about it... and / or bluetooth...


I only know the passphrase, which I will be happy to give to any British government official requesting my compliance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (2000). I'm afraid they're out of luck with the key itself, which I understand will be destroyed rather than be passed out of the country.
from NTK's encyrption keys.

hardcore. i think we should get pgp and make this whole blog pgp encrypted. obviously the key would be publicly available so anyone would be abe to read thus rendering my whole point null... why would you want to anyway alex? fool...

oh and banzai isn't that bad. it's good fun for getting drunk to...

Never mind posting keys online, if you simply take the audio out of your dataplay device and plug it into your soundcard, you can rip the output to mp3 or whatever, and then the sound is free and clear to copy ad nauseum. Once again: Trying to make digital information uncopyable is like trying to make water that is not wet. Whats incredible, is that these people actually get tens of millions of dollars in investment to produce this junk.

that dataplay content key malarky seems a bit pointless,. they didn't explain much, but is the content encrypted or the right to access it? and surely people will just post keys online...

I had no idea
that the song "Turning Japanese" by The Vapours (is it also the theme to the not-so-brilliant "Banzai"?) was a reference to the inevitable grimace at climax...well, it says here anyway, officer.

"This whole music piracy problem isn't going to go away until the CD dies," said Talal Shamoon, senior vice president at InterTrust. "A lot of these music subscription services and download services that have been put together...are great, but they're not an effective replacement for a new entertainment experience because CDs are still here, and CDs define the path."
Here we go again!!

a quick thing for you all - I once stayed in this hotel in Amsterdam and it was fantastic. they have mental art rooms in there, check a couple of examples:

http://www.winston.nl/hotel/artroom/brain.html

try and get in there if you are staying over that way..just thought i'd pass it on

why are Londons commuters so mannerless? they cause me pain - middle aged people, young people, old people - all looking they are eating glass while someone rubs stinging nettles into their arse cheeks. and they probably all moan about the yob culture - well let me tell you mr and mrs power suit can't say thankyou or excuse me or sorry - you are just as bad. anyone have any thoughts on why people don't realise reasonable behaviour toward your fellow human is not = to giving them all of your worldy possessions...

behold the computer bench
