Do you have hundreds or thousands of mp3 audio files? I know I do. I’ve got all my personal CDs ripped over the years, as well as a whole load of vinyl too. Then there are the podcasts that I just can’t bring myself to delete.

How do you keep track (excuse the pun) of it? How can you remember what you have and haven’t got after a while?

I’ve been using a really cool program called Music Express for some time now.

Check it out at  Wizetech

Music, Music, Music…. well and other audio too! is a post from: The Eye An Eyebeemania Blog

As you may have read in a recent post here on The Eye, I’ve installed Ubuntu 7.04 on a couple of machines here; a desktop and a laptop.

So far I’m pleased with it, and found it much easier to maintain and update than my previous Linux Distro, which was Fedora Core 6.

It’s been announced that Dell are going to be introducing a range of desktops and laptops with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed, so it could be that Linux is on the way to finally making the mainstream. If it lands on the desks of office workers, and they like it, it could help to launch it much more into the general consumer market.

In this video, Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth talks about why he started Ubuntu, Linux adoption rate trends, how previous barriers to Linux adoption for mainstream users are improving, and more.

Police in Monona, Wi on Monday banned the local chapter of the International Order of Old Bastards of the exotic dancers who have performed at their meetings for many years.

The club, which consists of about 600 members, has met every three months for at least 40 years, according to a police report. Members must be at least 35 years old, although the average age is mid-60s, said Richard Story, the club’s newly installed Arch Old Bastard.

Apparently the Old Bastards of Minona didn’t have an adult entertainment license.

The order was founded in 1945 by an American soldier stationed in Australia, who based the name on the Australian greeting of “Hi, you Old Bastard”. There are about a million members in over 4,500 chapters around the world.

It’s not worth being an Old Bastard anymore. is a post from: The Eye An Eyebeemania Blog

Chatham Traction Bus Company had been formed around 1930 when the towns
tram network was dismantled. They had been owned by British Electric
Traction (BET) but subsequently BET sold the undertaking to The
Maidstone & District Motor Services Ltd, with the proviso that the
company would be operated as a distinct and seperate concern for at
least 25 years. This is what indeed did happen, and it wasn't until 1955
that the brown and cream vehicles finally disappeared from Medway's
Streets. They had been based at the former Luton Road Depot, and had
largely mimicked the old tram routes, such as the route from The Strand,
Gillingham to Borstal (after the demise of Chatham Traction this route
still operated for many years under the auspices of M&D as the 145, with
a branch from this to Cookham Wood running as the 146). Most of the
former Chatham Traction routes actually hung on until
deregulation in 1986.
