Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

iTunes just threw up one of my favourite songs of all time, by one of the most under-rated 80s bands: Cutting Crew's acoustic story of Napoleon's epic retreat from Moscow, Brag.

Nice to hear ( it again. )

Can I just point you all at this track from Dan Bern: Talkin' Al Kida Blues

Sorry folks, the only stream of the track I could find was Windows media player only. However VLC should cope on most platforms...

If you're in the UK, and you're using the rather useful DigiGuide TV guide application, then you might not have noticed that they've sneaked in a little web server - so you can install your copy on a local server, and just browse from any machine, anywhere (if you're brave enough to open up a non-standard hole in your firewall).

Useful. Next - actually getting it to control the PVR.

Perhaps I need to get a Media Centre PC and run the Remote Record tool...

It turns out that there's a US version of DigiGuide, which may well have the same feature...
