Reputation/ee solo MP3 available

General January 2nd, 2003

Reputation, the ex-Sarge, Chicago band that you’ve probably heard me talk about before just released their first ‘MP3′ for download. Check out www.reputationmusic.com for more info about the band, and join their Yahoo Group. There’s an archived post on what you need to do to download the MP3.

Elizabeth is a law student, and big into not ripping off the performers/industry with music sharing. I think it’s cool because she understands MP3s/CD copying is the right of the listener/owner — but there need to be limits, and carrots given to the users to obey those limits. It’s an interesting section of law to be studying, I think…

Graduated web trash

General January 2nd, 2003

So while I was fighting with reboots and blue screens on my desktop last night, I started looking at the RSS specs and what it would take to add RSS support to my blog.

Less than an hour later, I had .9x support. Today I went through and added description summaries that show the first 25 words of the entry. I think I’m the only one who uses an RSS tracker (it’s included in Trillian Pro) but if you do my RSS feed is available (for now) from http://www-dave.cs.uiuc.edu/blog/rss.php

There’s a CS^H^HECE student that I went to school with that considers most CS students nothing more than two-bit web page designing clowns. /me waves his degree in the air — now it applies!
