Put some wee audio file conversion scripts up on the scripts page. Nothing earth-shattering, just handy.

Just watched Philadelphia on Channel 5.
I have to say I was in a bit of a state at the end. :'(

I would like to propose a new term for the Dance Music vernacular:
The Juno Minute.
This is the 60 seconds* of a tune chosen by on-line record shops for the 'Listen' MP3, which bears no relation to the rest of the track.
You'll think you've bought the finest Ambient available to humanity, but will in fact receive bastard-hard nose-bleed Techno. The Juno Minute will have been the breakdown.
You'll have gone looking for some tracky Deep House, but the postman will hand you full-on-gospel Garage. The Juno Minute will have been the first minute of the track.
* - Pedants pointing out that Juno's clips actually last 90 seconds will be wedgied. They used to be a minute long.
Thanks to the wonders of eBay, I have built a (very nearly) silent server to run FTP and mail for the ILikeJam empire.
I've got a Pentium M 1.3GHz on an Intel 855 board, with an obscenely large Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu cooler (running fanless), a 4200 RPM laptop drive, and a fanless power supply for seriously inaudible computing action.
Then just for a laugh, I stuck the whole lot in my wardrobe. Seriously. (For added perversity, I stuck the Zalman case sticker to the drawer. It's not too clear in the photo.)

Hey peeps! I'm working on a new tape.
Inspired by the Kerri Chandler Essential Mix a wee while ago, I started digging around my limitless reserves of Deep House. Transport was an excellent tape (even if I do say so myself, and the folks at DI seem to agree), but it lacked that certain Deepness that I require from a tape.
So far we've got some Ibadan, some Drop Music, some Airtight (where's your website gone guys?) and some other random excellence on the playlist.
Think Afterhours, not Choice Cuts.
It's gonna be real Deep.
