MediaGraft
/1 Comment/in Music /by Tom KingA slighty new implementation of podcasting/mp3 delivery here. Signing up is quite easy and free, and once you’re in, you select the MP3s you’re interested in, and then add them to your “Mediabox”.
This gives you a list of tunes which can then be downloaded quite simply via iTunes, like a podcast, or downloaded direct.
Worth a look if only for some original live classical material, which is of a pretty high standard.
The only downside is the adverts which are put in a little too often. No different to radio then….

Found this *fix* though:
Warning, requires WGA tool to be installed if you’ve not gone there yet…

IE7 Is Coming This Month…Are you Ready?
/0 Comments/in Internet /by Tom KingIs anyone ready? Luckily I’m not one to incorporate complicated DOM models etc in my sites generally speaking – but what’s the bet that a LOT of websites are going to be breaking? And the worst thing is, automatic updating to WGA PCs: picture the scene – elderly relatives have their windows PC automatically updated to IE7 – different button locations, tabbing, sites breaking, locally installed apps going haywire, inproper CSS support.. I’ve yet to meet a web developer who is looking forward to the inevitable onslaught of support calls..
Google buys YouTube
/0 Comments/in Internet /by Tom KingWell, it seems if you can’t beat em – buy em instead.
It does make it look like Google readily admits that its video service wasn’t quite up to scratch.
