This blog is about Yours Truly
This morning on the way to work I caught Ryde Councils contractor WSN Environmental Solutions in action going through people bins collecting data on the contents.
The contractor scans the RFID chip. Checks what items are inside the bins and makes notes.
It is only a matter of time and I can see them fining people if they have put what they consider to be recyceable material in the main waste bin.
Zdnet had a recent update article on the program.
This is one of my favourite, straight down the line podcast applications for the Linux Platform. Loving it so much I have done a personal build for Mandriva.
It is a simple aggregator and feeds and easily added. The Icepodder team have removed a lot of the old dependencies; pyxmms, python, libxml2.python. It easily It now allows you to open downloads into Amarok or a media player of you choice.
So sharing my joy. I have posted my Mandriva 2008.1 build including source for you Mandriva users to use and abuse. Please give any feed back to the Icepodder developers as they love to hear how much you enjoy Icepodder.
RPM: Mandriva 2008. 1 Icepodder 5.4 personal build revision 64

I’ve finally taken the full plunge into Facebook after friends and family found my account.
I am amazed at how easy it is to track down lost friends from years ago. Friends I went to Bible College with, who live oversea, old family friends, teacher even.
I consider Facebook to better than Myspace. it also seems to attract a more mature crowd.
So to those Facebookers out there. Happy Social Networking.
