Comment The desktop itself is dead (Score 1, Insightful) 108

There will never be a "year of the desktop", because the desktop is dead. The reality is that such a large percentage of the population use mobile devices for the majority of their interactions that whatever happens on the desktop is irrelevant. I find it bizarre because the mobile experience is so abysmal compared to a proper desktop. But I've never understood the mainstream, and I guess this is just another example of that.

Journal Journal: KVM recommendations

I appear to be in the market for a new KVM as my current one has all but stopped working. Any recommendations? Minimum 4 outputs. *Must* do VGA. My current one has mini-DIN for keyboard and mouse, which has sort of worked some of the time with USB-PS2 converters. I could probably go for a full USB only one, but I'd need to get new cables.

Comment Re:I have everything in FLAC too (Score 1) 4

Yep. I rip to Vorbis as well, so that I can easily scp music to my work computer without having to transfer the full FLAC file over my relatively slow ADSL line. The extra 10% storage it uses is essentially insignificant.

Journal Journal: Vindicated 4

My decision to rip all of my audio losslessly to FLAC has been vindicated. I rip to Vorbis as well, but I always thought it was worth having the lossless originals around too. That way, if a new codec arrived on the scene at a later date, I could rerip to that without any further loss of quality. That codec is now here. Hello, Opus!

I'd forgotten how much I hated Javascript. I very much appear better suited to server programming than to web programming...
