I don’t think so.

Dare-ology

Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000?

As long as I don’t have to watch TV, I’m happy.

Taken from Loren’s “I” meme

I’ve been packaging so many things in the past week that I thought I’d put it all in one place and in some logical order.

http://holizz.com/software/

Currently I have three dyne:bolic 2.x modules:

• Firefox 2.0b1
• Flobopuyo 0.20

And one 0install interface: Firefox 2.0b1

If you’re not using dyne:bolic or 0install, these are probably not for you. But then dyne:bolic and 0install are pretty cool, so maybe you should be.

It’s called an iTunes Meme, but strangely enough I don’t use iTunes (I use Amarok).

How many total songs?

3459 songs, 21G, approximately 9 days.

Sort by song title - first and last?

• Last: Zwitter (Rammstein)

Sort by time - shortest and longest?

• Shortest: Hi! (GitS SAC OST/Be Human) - 0:05
• Longest: Vol. 1 (Mark Durst) - 38:00

Sort by Album - first and last?

• First: 100th Window (Massive Attack)
• Last: You Are Free (Cat Power)

Sort by Artist - first and last?

• First: 36 Crazyfists
• Last: ZEEBRA

Top five played songs?

I’m afraid I haven’t preserved my current Amarok data. It was created this morning (yesterday morning), in fact. If only some kind of BeFS-like filesystem was used, maybe the catastrophy of not knowing my top five played songs could have been averted.

I hope the person who wrote this quiz is not a native speaker of English or types very, very quickly (without proof-reading).

Your Bedtime

I generally try not to go to bed too early or too late. Both are dangerous. So any time from about 11pm till 1am is fairly good.
