One man, one guitar, one website, one ditty a day.
Glynn Moody at the LinuxJournel wonders, “Should we fight for Ogg Vorbis?” Basically he states that because of the popularity, open source projects like LAME, patent limitations and robustness of MP3s it really isn’t worth fighting for another format.
All my stuff is MP3 so I guess I tend to agree. Who knows however, maybe Ogg will catch on like Firefox.
Ran across this great article on DRM by Jeremy Allison at ZDNet. In it he compares DRM to Star Trek style engineering.
Jeremy Says:
Believing in a DRM business model is like joining Star Fleet security, putting on your red shirt, and volunteering to beam down to the new unexplored plant with Kirk, Spock and McCoy.
Over 1,600 guitarists gathered around and played “Smoke on the Water.” Catch the whole scoop at 99.7 KY.
Some of you might remember it from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I guess this one goes along with Chopsticks.
If your the other person who actually views this site, you might have noticed me coming back. I’m not really sure if it will be for good yet. I’ve been working on a few other projects and just generally trying to get a feel for this online thing. Ditties are fun, but trying to do them so often and everything seems so rushed.
But I’m going through my links, posting all the news and goodies I have, along with a few ditties I had in the can.
