    That appeals to me! I'll see you there.

    And.. what exactly is your machine performing?

    Hey Aug!

    you're playing ALAC or FLAC files?

    mpg123 -v "http://us2.internet-radio.com:8443/listen.pls&t=.pls"

    That connects me to "megaton radio" and streams in mp3. Isn't everybody doing this?

    Life is good,

    Hello Maurice Kinal!

    Lucky Millinder - Shorty's Got to Go

    Sounds like a good song for Get Shorty. Was it included in the soundtrack?

    See? You beat me to it again. :)

    7.2 is supposed to be promising, and 7.3 is supposed to introduce huge performance improvements!

    Hey Nick!

    It isn't you I am trying to beat, but instead the archlinux gurus. ;-)

    7.2 is supposed to be promising,

    So far it doesn't look any more promising than kv-7.1 did but it hasn't been all that long.

    and 7.3 is supposed to introduce huge performance improvements!

    That appeals to me! I'll see you there.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
