From A perfect circle to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lots of links to lots of music videos and lots of popups.
Get them while they're hot.
Warning Link has lots of popups. Only Internet explorer seems to get them though. Firefox and Safari don't seem to have any problems. Toni called me up earlier telling me a story about how a lot of prono popups popped up when a professor walked in because she had clicked on the link.
Because of that I decided to deactivate the link above and copy the link's contents into the extended part of this post. So read more if you want the list ad free =)
Update: It seems I have found the maximum post size. I'm going the whole nine yards this time and reworking the html I stole off the site. It's filled with Div's I don't use and comments that we don't need.
Update: I've never seen SubEthaEdit choke so much, I guess it doesn't handel 200k lines very well. (The whole thing was one line) Either way it's all parsed and pretty and still to large for one post. So I'm uploading it instead.
Lots of music videos
I even took out the ones that didn't work.

(Bulletproof Cupid by Placebo is quite a nice instrumental song. Makes a nice opening track to their album Sleeping With Ghosts. Which has a really. striking album cover.)
Bulletproof Networks.
I've been reading up on vpns. Secure networks over insecure networks. Instead of paying lots of money for a secure line to your office you can use a cheep internet connection that is hardly secure. But over this insecure connection you can start another connection that is secure. That's what VPN's are all about anyway.
I've got a decent understanding of the concepts but I found a simple power point presentation that does a good job of describing them. A better job then I've done anyway. It concentrates on OpenVpn but it touches IPSEC and others.
In other news.
I speed up the gallery a little. The main page anyway, it was taking far too long to load. On the down side you won't see how many comments each gallery has listed on the main page. You can live with that.

Let me get this out of the way. The Third Globe
Forgive my snippy captions, My heart just isn't in it today. Also if you look at the England gallery you might notice this comes before Westminster and Trafalgar Square, I missed this one, and the next one too. I'm trying to keep some semblance of chronological order.
So I found this site called digg. It's neat, the community submits links and rates them, not a bunch of editors. So the crap you find there is picked by your peers, switches the blame to everybody instead of specific people.
Anyway, I found a neat setup for iTunes playlists. It produces a nice mix of music you haven't heard with music you like. I have three different playlists total and varied a little from the suggested ones.
The first one has music that I haven't played more then 5 times and haven't rated 1 or 2 stars (which mean I think they suck). It's limited to 300 songs chosen randomly. The second has stuff I've played more then 3 times, has more then 2 stars (3 and above), and I haven't played in the last week. It's limited to 200 songs chosen by least recently played.
The 3rd playlist is just a combination of both. This playlist will play every song (unless I've already rated it a 1 or 2). Songs will randomly show up 5 times and if I haven't rated it at least 3 stars I won't see them again. If I have rated them at least 3 stars they'll be thrown into a nice rotating list of songs I like. The mix is 3 parts list one (or Infuser) and 2 parts list two (or Sprinkler).
It works well.
Ohh and until I fix it the random image is broken. I'll figure it out later I don't feel like it now. I'm in the middle of moving everything, so stuff might break in the process. *shrug* What ever.

If you happen to live in russia then its perfectly legal for you to download music by the megabyte from All OF MP3. And now they finally take paypal again.

PS And because I think if I don't do this now I never will. Here's my next England Gallery, my day at Stonehenge.

So I was almost asleep having convinced myself that … heh, I don't even remember anymore. Anyway, I was sleeping almost and then "ZZZZZZeeeeeppp" the doppler of a bug flying around my ear. I don't even know if I killed it. Fucking bugs.
Anyway, I finally found this song that's been running through my head.
You Showed Me
The Turtles
You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
Oh, oh, I love you
You showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
You fell for me too
And when I tried it
I could see you fall
And I decided
It's not a trip at all
You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
We're in love we too
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're in love we two
We two
You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
(You…)
Showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
(You…)
Taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Now you love me too
[repeat to fade]

One day maybe we will dance again
Under fiery skies
One day maybe you will love again
Love that never dies
One day maybe you will see the land
Touch skin with sand
You've been swimming in the lonely sea
With no company
Oh, don't you want to find?
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
The roads, the highs, breaking up your mind
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
One day maybe you will cry again
Just like a child
You've gotta tie yourself to the mast my friend
And the storm will end
Oh, don't you want to find?
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
The times, the highs, breaking up your mind
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
Oh, you're too afraid to touch
Too afraid you'll like it too much
The roads, the times, breaking up your mind
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
One day maybe I will dance again
One day maybe I will love again
One day maybe we will dance again
You know you've gotta
Tie yourself to the mast my friends
And the storm will end
One day maybe you will love again
You've gotta tie yourself to the mast my friend
And the storm will end

"If I was beautiful, if I had the time…"
I was listening to Moby and thought "What would I do if I had the time?"
And then I realized that all I had to do to have the time was to make the time. I've actually been making a lot of time lately. (Doing a lot of work. But I'll finish eventually.) I've been sleeping too, I know its late now but I'm about to sleep. I was wondering…
Well, Just finish this sentence for me.
"If I had the time I'd.…"

So I went to Madison Square Garden tonight with Cassie, Caroline, Jenny, some guy I don't know, Meggan, and some boyfriend of hers. Cindy, Becky, Julia, A girl I never got her name right, and a monkey had different seats but were there too.
I had a real good time. I can't stress this enough.
I lost my voice with in the first 5 minutes.
Found some meaning to old songs.
Danced my ass off, sweated tones. I never dried from the rain that got me drenched earlier in the day.
Drove someone Cindy's car home =)
Downloaded some more music to listen tomorrow.
Oh! and the Drums! I could barley keep up with them. I wore my self out pretty fast but I kept dancing anyway. I've never heard them play them before. They're really good.
Ohhh that sound =)
I earned my sleep tonight.

One day I'll watch the movie with someone and it will have the effect it should. I saw it in theaters a long time ago but that night my mind wasn't really there. I didn't get that fulfilled feeling, I wasted my time.
Thanks to Frank for buying me the soundtrack off my Amazon wish list. It's good music for a dam good movie.
