No matter which category I set within ecto, the entry is always also posted under category #1. A solution can be found at the ecto forum and requires editing WP’s xmlrpc.php. Now let’s see if this works..

*update*
.. it does.

Just found this one via the FUCKUP Weblog. I just love this tests telling me who I am what I think and what is right for me based on a bunch of repetitive questions. If life could be that simple.. anyhow, I wonder where this 71% rating for Satanism is coming from:

Just read on digg that LG readies iPod shuffle clone. And a appealing one. OK, the shuffle still looks better but like I said before, design definitely _is_ Apple’s cup of tea, so no need to argue here, but: ogg-support.. hell, not even QuickTime and therefore iTunes offer support for ogg vorbis encoded files, the QuickTime OGG Component isn’t compatible with QT7 and downgrading to QT6 isn’t possible on Tiger. Nice done.

cryforhelp: ISN’T THERE A FEASIBLE AUDIO PLAYER FOR OS X?!?!

Anyway, I considered getting one of those small mp3-, ermm, ogg-, well, let’s say multi-codec-flash-sticks, for my IHP-120 is a little bit too heavy and bulky for some occasions. Until now, the shuffle was my favorite design-wise, while iRiver’s flash-players have been when it came to functionality.. let’s see when this LG thingy will hit the market and reviews spread the web..

Just downloading the iTunes 4.9 update and what’s new? Podcasting. Great. Ah, to hell with it. I guess I boot into my Linux-installation on my PowerBook and enjoy some hours of extensive amarok usage.

I’ve been to Munich for a Sick Of It All show yesterday. Those guys are quite amazing. 20 years and still kicking. None of this Tough Guy attitude you’ll see at most hardcore shows, just plain, feel good spirit. Stretch Arm Strong supported, I saw them for the first time and quite liked them, although, if I got it right, there was some “dedicated to our troops” babbling before one song..
The other two bands playing that evening were Crushing Caspars from Germany and Amen from the states, the later looking like some really troubled bad taste fashion whores or as a friend put it: “The singer looks like a bad rouged mixture between Marilyn Manson and Glen Danzig, just fatter”. Well, so true. But if you didn’t look at those guys, the sound wasn’t that bad at all.

On Friday, Bright Eyes and The Faint are playing at the Ulmer Zelt. I already secured my ticket and well, it’s a whole new indie-world out there. First preparations for the Melt! Festival..

Enough for now, in case you haven’t noticed, it’s summer, finally. There are way better things to do than to hang around a computer, that is, if you don’t own a notebook.. thinking about it, the Powerbook’s screen isn’t bright enough to compete with our sun anyway.

Random trivia:
Cut off my dreads last week. Seven years of cultivating those things and they were gone in seconds. But honestly, it’s a whole new feeling. Awesome, great, light, easy, flexible, fast-dry, cushion-feeling and I don’t know what else.. errrr. Maybe I post some before-after pictures some time.

punknews.org writes that Rumbleseat (acoustic side project of Hot Water Music‘s Chuck and Ragan) will finally release an retrospective. Great news. Check out “Cursing Concrete” available from their site.
