In the world of software it seems to be generally the case that you try to support as many formats as possible, both for reasons of usability (why will it open that, but not this document?) and usefulness.

Though, of course, ultimately competitive reasons are the motive. Players in monopoly positions might disagree.

What I want to say is, why not ask Apple to support Ogg Vorbis? Surely it's a good thing Vorbis fans aren't so cynical as to not even bother voicing polite requests for Vorbis support. That should definitely be all the more true if they're willing to put their money where their mouth is at.

It's also been determined that the discussion in a typical Slashdot story compresses to less than half of a percent of its original size.

Website still not up, obviously. I've just been too busy partying and preparing for teh holiday and whatnot.

So I noticed that we can now add AIM/ICQ/Jabbar IDs to our user info. Hopefully this will help me meet new friends. Also, there is a space for an "ical" calendar...anyone know what that is? I tried googling, and it's just a bunch of Mac stuff. Can I make an ical calendar on teh Lunix? TIA.

My website is down. Many apologies. Assuming there are no more Apache holes found in the next week or so, it should be up again soon, at a different address. It's also time for an influx of new content, though Christ only knows when I'll get around to making some. Maybe I can archive links to a few of my best Slashdot comments! Though I only kept a couple. So whatever.
