Jailbreaking Ipod touch 16GB

I've been playing with the idea of jailbreaking (that is, hacking to run whatever applications you see fit) on my 16GB ipod for a while now; I did try it a few weeks back, but the whole process was quite inelegant, and didn't 100% work. With the older methods, I used to get a sort of negative screen when the device came out of autolock, and the whole thing became essentially unusable until you …

Pandora to stop UK streaming

This just sent from Pandora HQ: "As you probably know, in July of 2007 we had to block usage of Pandora outside the U.S. because of the lack of a viable license structure for Internet radio streaming in other countries. It was a terrible day. We did however hold out some hope that a solution might exist for the UK, so we left it unblocked as we worked diligently with the rights organizations …

New Disc: The Brabant Ensemble - Manchicourt

The Brabant Ensemble have released its third CD, featuring works by Pierre de Manchicourt (c.1510-1564). The CD has already attracted the following review: From the ecstatic opening bars of the Regina caeli, which begins the recital, to the more austere grandeur of Manchicourt's only setting of the Magnificat, with which it closes, there is not a less than thrilling moment on the whole disc. …

New Christ Church Choir Video

This is my first experiment using a Sony HDR-HC7E High Definition Camcorder, with footage edited in Sony Vegas 7. Obviously, shooting HD and then compressing to "youtube" quality is a bit of a pointless exercise, but it does look fantastic in native HD (and at 500MB it's a mere 100 times the size). Here's the youtube version: www.chchchoir.org The footage is literally the first two minutes …
