Posted tagging standards
So my real big news for the day is that I’ve posted my tagging
standards. I think this even calls
for an index file on http://www.codefu.org/, which is currently
barren. I can see already that there are broken images at the top of
the latex2html generated HTML. It would be nice to apply a bit of
CSS to the index for that directory too. Oh, and probably critically
I’ve forgotten to include some of the TeX files that are necessary to
build this. Maybe I should just remove the TeX versions, really. For
now, though, it’ll do I think.
I’ll also take this time to note that, in Yellow Dog Linux 2.3, the
tetex-latex package appears to be missing latex2html. Bastards.
I suppose others might not find all that as exciting as I do. I did find a Helium2 1.2.1 crack today as well. I’m not using it of course, because that would be illegal. I found it on EFnet, and that’s all I’m going to say about it. I tried using Helium2 for a while tonight (the trial, that is). It’s gotten better than when I last tried it (1.1), and has Ogg Vorbis support supposedly, but still has weird quirks. For example, I had “Copy ID3v1 -> ID3v2″ or something like that turned on (as it is by default) and kept getting my ID3v2 track title copied into my ID3v1 tag. The real problem was that there was no possible way you could fit the entire ID3v2 field in to the ID3v1 field: it was too long. Helium2 did it anyway. I figured out how to stop it from doing that before I was finished with the file, so I didn’t check to see if it would actually write out an invalid tag or not. Other than that, it appears to be quite usable, and have all the features you want. The CDDB wizard even worked pretty well on the two albums I tried it with. Too bad it’s not free, and too bad no one has outdone it with something free.
I found out about a new satellite connection at one of the sites for our new client. The one we were supposed to install with this weekend. I don’t think that date is very likely, since they decided that it needed to be kicked to their “consulting team.” To me this sounds like, “we need a piece of the pie too,” and frankly that’s fine with me. Of course, our client might not be as easy going as me.
Enough for now, must sleep. Before I do that I think I’ll start DD Vorbis files uploading.
