radioSHARK

You can adjust your record­ing set­tings eas­ily, just as you can plan record­ings, repeat them and have them auto­mat­i­cally added to your iTunes radioSHARK playlist.… Haven’t played with the time-shifting fea­ture yet, but basi­cally you just set the size of your buffer, and you’ll then be able to pause Lille Lars while you’re on the loo.

On Sony, Kottke, DRM and the bulldog lawyer approach to doing business

Sony, Apple etc: Please remem­ber that you’re in a damn for­tu­nate sit­u­a­tion when you have peo­ple all around the world talk­ing about you — good or bad — long­ing for your prod­ucts, try­ing to guess your next move, prais­ing a lot of the stuff you do, keep­ing your brand alive. We all dis­cuss, engage in con­ver­sa­tion — how come you think you can act com­pletely dif­fer­ent, com­mu­ni­cat­ing through gun­slinger lawyers, expos­ing your fear of not con­trol­ling a sit­u­a­tion that’s really not that bad, but that of course might show room for improve­ment?

Painting yourself into corners when making websites

Inter­est­ing dis­cus­sion over at The Autis­tic Cuckoo on whether you paint your­self into a cor­ner by start­ing with the seman­tics when build­ing a new site or not — or if you risk the exact same by div­ing straight into Pho­to­shop; One Way to Design a Web Site.… I can’t say I lean towards either side, how­ever I really only have one focus: To keep out of the cor­ners while set­tling on the best archi­tec­ture pos­si­ble; if you start cod­ing to deal with infor­ma­tion archi­tec­ture, fine — if you start sketch­ing to deal with com­mu­ni­ca­tion and get­ting the mes­sage across, that’s fine too.

Podcast apologies

To the wasted crack-whore ges­tur­ing to make me take off my head­phones while I was wait­ing in the street for Indian take-out, smil­ing a tooth­less smile, ask­ing if I was lis­ten­ing to some good music: I’ve been hav­ing quite some trou­ble recently try­ing to explain peo­ple I know — whom to my knowl­edge haven’t even done unthink­able things to them­selves to finance crack — the won­ders of pod­cast­ing.

Just a quick note: The com­ment issue wasn’t due to the install of the updated MT-Blacklist after­all.
