iTunes and Audiobooks

Wednesday
Aug 8,2007

I have a few mp3s that are more audiobook than music, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it out of my music library and into my audiobook section in iTunes. That is until I ran across this link which lead me to this script. It worked flawless and was awesome. Thanks to Doug for the sweet script. I had no idea that iTunes was that scriptable. I’ll have to look into other useful scripts for iTunes.

FUSE on OSX

Friday
Jan 12,2007

One of the coolest things about Linux is the whole FUSE concept. I used SSHfs all the time on my ubuntu box to connect to development servers and write code locally. Now that I use OSX I’ve been searching for something like this to no avail. Thanks to google and some passionate engineers it’s now working.

I can imagine a slew of Rails developers using this to have textmate edit files over ssh directly without the scp/sftp workaround.

Apple iPhone: Will it run Ruby? Leopard will have it

Once again I’ve falled in love my MythTV. I’ve been running it for about 5 months solid now. no reboots, or big issues to deal with. A few recent tweaks: Added my ROM collection over a remote share for MythGame. New favorite mythtv theme: blootube. I transcode any new recordings to XviD (with commercial skip) and then move them to my NAS video share for future viewing.

Recent change of heart: Fav Desktop OS -> OSX. Still really love Ubuntu for servers, etc.

This time of year I love living in Arizona. Did you get snow recently? Gee… that’s too bad. I think we’re looking at 68 today. LOL!
