Yep I tag with musicbrainz too, though occasionally I need to manually tag and I use Mediamonkey for that. -
That should be and that it doesn't slow my system... -
@zacharye The main benefit for me are the organisation features that it doesn't slow my system down or crash every bloody half an hour. ;) If you have a lot of music files (like over 40gb) itunes is next to useless. -
Mediamonkey is also very good for tagging and grabbing album art. There are a lot of useful extensions developed by the community too. -
I hate itunes on both windows and mac. It's so bloated and sloooooow! I only use it for ipod firmware updates, otherwise I use either Mediamonkey on windows or Banshee on linux. At least they both play my FLAC files. And Mediamonkey even converts them on-the-fly when syncing my ipod. :) Monday, 11 August 2008

Such as? And do they have an interface as good as gmails? Personally I've been very lucky with gmail, this is the first ever outage that's effected me in years of using it. I can definitely live with that. :) -
Hehehe. It is scary when that happens, though that's the first outage I've ever been effected by I think. -
It's back! Hurrah! -
-
Google Apps mail is down for me as well -

Mine's down too :( Saturday, 9 August 2008

Oh, how did I miss this? Welcome to Jaiku Katy! :) -
@hypocrisy Hehehe, go ahead. :) I was without internet for 8 damn hours today anyway (talk about cold turkey)! -
Good morning :) -
Well sudo user is now set up, SSH secured and iptables config written. Next up is mysql/php/apache install. That'll have to wait until later today though. :) (...) -
Oh I agree, if it's more resources you need as opposed to just the freedom to play around and install what you want, then a VPS is definitely not the best option. I had a server once for precisely that reason but I had to pay somebody to do the admin which made it even more expensive than it already is. Luckily I managed to find a good shared host willing to take the site on. However, if I find myself in that position again I want to be able to run the whole server myself, hence the current attempts at learning. :) -
It's always both scary and exciting when you move to somewhere new. That's normal I think. :) -
Yay, congrats! -
@hypocrisy That's true, hadn't thought of that. Though similar I guess a VPS isn't exactly the same as a full server. :) -
Yeah I'll probably try it at some point. I have no problem trying out anything that's free. ;) -
-
Oooh, hope you get the flat then! I know how it feels, we've had a possible house dangled in front of us for the past 2 weeks, the stress is killing us. :D Should know next week though. -
I tried LxAdmin on another VPS this week, and it was horrible. Really horrible. Ugly and slow are the words I'd use I think. :D But no, I plan to go command line only, this is about learning after all. :) -
@hypocrisy CentOS is definitely the leader for hosting, yeah. But I'm being awkward and going for Ubuntu to start with. I'm more familiar with it and a couple of people have told me they're using it with no problems (not saying it doesn't have its faults, and maybe not ideal in a shared hosting environment, but it'll do for me I think). -
Yeah I've just gone for the smallest one. Will probably stick with that for quite a while. My aim is to become very familiar with setting up and securing a VPS/server, and that's no easy task so I expect it to take quite some time. :)
