Musicless

When I left the house this morning, my minidisc player claimed to have a full battery.

20 minutes later, the music stopped. Dead battery. Not good. Normally I get around this by playing some music from my laptop, but I've only got music on the lappy when I'm taking a download from Sharing The Groove home. Life is unfair at times.

When I bought this minidisc player it could go 10 days on a single charge (at ~3 hours a day), but now the player is so dusty inside it spends most of its time trying to seek, thus rapidly eating the battery. The rumours of the $65 iPod are very interesting...

Debian's Centre of Gravity

The location of Debian's centre of gravity in England was confirmed again yesterday, when Martin Michlmayr moved there to study. At the same time I found this out, I also discovered that he fixed the Developer's Packages Overview. When I eventually get my sorry arse up to Cambridge (a whole £6.80 on the train) I shall have to buy him a drink.
