The new wallpaper will not happen on teh internets

;-) Another nice and inspiring video clip, right on the weak spot:
Gil Scott Heron, " The Revolution Will Not Be Televised .
Brought to me by courtey of today's brilliant WWWW , and to you now for your sunday's enjoyment without even having to click. :-)


And I predict that most of us won't even notice when it already happened.
PS: I'm very sorry if the video won't load. This must be another unique LJ annoyment feature. You can watch the video over there in this case.

Enchanted Arms When Can I Buy God Ambrosia

Hate on first strike

After what happened to the Wikileaks organization I think we can freely assume that the threat of three strikes we have been dealing with and arguing against until now in fights with governments and media lobbyists has vaned.
It took VISA, PayPal, MasterCard and PostFinanz just one single inconvenient moment of doubt and/or government pressure to end their services for Wikileaks in an hetherto unprecedented overnight unity.

If you watch this short animation please think about it as a thing from the past. Like pictures from a long lost war.

It's no more only the RIAA instrumentated police that threatens our global freedom of expression and information, it's not a communist dictator with weapons of mass destrucion: it's these huge - too big to fail comes to mind, ironically - companies, that are able to act just like ENRON, BP, the seemingly uncontrollable banks as well as the globalized pharma industry, that we've already gotten used to somehow.
If politicians and industry leaders are so close to each other that there's no need for police and courts any more to shut anybody down, who then needs your "AGREE" signature any more?
If history goes on like this, our kids will have their agreements to almost everything stamped onto their birth certificates already.
Just like in China and other countries that were stereotypes for the lack of a freedom guarantee until now.

Maybe that's the price of globalization and our governements have only sold out behind our backs to cover the sad facts.
I'd love to see this contradicted by a cable, though.

PS: Please note that the person Mr. J. Assange is not mentioned in this rant.

Keep Cockroaches Out For A Night

resuming my video clip stream of unconsciousness

No idea how I came across Alina Orlova . (The German Wikipedia was it at least not * ever *.)
But it has now 'zoom ' made to quote a popular song adit.
I even managed to buy her album about a Lithuanian music portal, wow! :-)
Sun without further ado, I give you: Ramuma , which means 'peace', czyli 'silence', jeśli Google translate Mozna uwierzyć.



There is also the studio version of songs, but without the visuals.
Another, even very nice animated title Vasari, that is February if you believe Google can translate, sure ... eh ;-)


This is it all from me for today '. With knowledge of Lithuanian-unfortunately I can not serve.
But the music speak for itself yet and I wanted to have mentioned;)
concert were an 'of course, the greatest, but we have to wait a little longer if you lastfm believe ...

1 Oil Mixture For John Deere Snowmobiles?

Multi-Stereo iMac recycling

Other swear yes on the Sonos multi-room audio system to sound its digitized Mukke and that has certainly justified. AAAAB ... ;-)

Version: 7.5.1 - r30836 @ Tue Jun 1 05:57:28 PDT 2010
Host Name: zong
IP address of the server: 192 168 192 192
Server HTTP port number : 9000
OS: Debian - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: ppc-linux
Perl version: 5.10.0 - powerpc-linux-gnu-thread-multi
MySQL Version: 5.0.51a-24 + lenny4
number recognized player 3

I wanted to use the old, proven hardware (read: at least the Canton speakers, including stereo) and see if it really that are not any alternatives.
After some research and consult with [info] MasterEmit I first bought a SqueezeBox Touch including Scythe amp plus speakers, as a test position quasi.
result: Very nice and small KISS combo. Ideal for smaller rooms.

Although the player software is used to - I hate above all, if you force me to update here and now want - I found my way quickly and the flexibility and variety of application scenarios fabulous. But to use
mysqueezebox.com as a center of power is only half the battle, since Logitech also an open-source server software offered for installation on a variety of computer architectures. Have
then one of two for ornament standing around iMacs equipped prior to the turn of the millennium with the server software and everything was Schnulli. Until Logitech zwangsauslieferte the update to 7.5.1, more or less.
then started the service on OS X 10.5 no longer. Downgrade went, but then announced the Squeezebox take annoying that they are wrong Software version had or something like that, I forgot, but it was extremely stupid and unprofessional.

meantime I had won the test as a 'Pass' and considered already purchased a Squeezebox, including Radio Battery Pack, for the simultaneous sound of portable kitchen, bathroom and Balcony and decided the stereo receiver via the medium into the system involvement.
After brief in-me-go I decided not to wait for another frustrating Mac update from Logitech for not longer maintained by Apple OS X version, but at last a sensible and long deserved Linux said iMac to play and to me a sound management specialized system to tinker. The
based on Fedora Vortex unfortunately was not in question, as x86. Finally, there was again good and tried and tested Debian. (It's time, even a "live up" to send in the direction of the Debian community!)
The combination of Debian iMac and 32-bit Debian SqueezeBoxCenter has been running for about 5 months stable and to my complete satisfaction.
The computer is almost silent and has a LXDE desktop, including music player, so it can be to hanky Not even Mausi it around.
The stereo receiver is medium (solo, without the totally overpriced Duet Controller) after some trial and error with the game and if I want, I can stream my music to each well just any DLNA player (eg the Nokia Ollen Listen to N810). (What is not working for some reason, is the synchronous integration of SqueezePlay software players. The play indeed, but can not join together with the others. So be it.)

Have I already said that I ZuSa tzlich to touch screen to control the Mukke throughout the apartment two (included) to have remote controls - one of them practical and magnetically to the refrigerator door - and mostly still on But prefer to use phone software? No? Well then! ;-)
Indeed, there are several apps, and Android for iFön to choose from and I actually found all useful. YMMV.

What have I achieved? All music on land and runs partly via Ethernet, WLAN part of iMac, both purchased and ripped mp3s from the CD and the radio stations, podcasts and what else do so there. (Although one can also easily make RSS feeds, Flickr photos and news etc. Fratzbuch's on the displays, but I did not really cause much of a " could .)
It controls the edition of this music easily and equipment in the rooms individually switched to and fro, as one likes.
uncompressed FLAC files to the iMac a bit too much, but to play mp3 and m4a's more than enough. The
on port 9000 running web interface of the server software is really good, it is efficient and easy to learn.
A photo of my old purple iMac in the kitchen but I will not do anyway. You know
like the looks, admit it.
