“Welcome To My Life” - Simple Plan

How do you rip a CD and make an MP3 out of it? Sound Juicer doesn’t do it. Neither does Grip in Extras. The magic seems to have come from installing abcde and id3v2. Then abcde -o mp3 will give me MP3’s that the iPod will like.
Now, the Mono issue. Havoc writes that Mono is a can’t rather than a won’t and he’s right. We’ve been fighting for it to no end, and its just not happening. The little reasoning that I know thru emails, irc, that meeting, and what not shows that we’re not going to see Mono, period. This is however, in my opinon, working negatively towards RH - as more and more “cool” tools get written in Mono (beagle, tomboy, etc…)
However, how about a jpackage equivalent? Let’s call it mpackage.org, and provide high-quality, Mono packages. Anyone interested? E-mail me.
Life
Bought yet more bike accessories. Lamps (so I can ride at night), bike computer, a new tube; coffee maker made its way into the whole purchase list it seems. Mother’s day was Sunday, and I got to see both my parents! Saw The Amityville Horror, which kept me at the edge of my seat at several times. San Remo Pizza & Pasta (the usual pizza parlour I walk to), is bike friendly.
I finally became 21. So I can drink legally, in America now. And get my license converted to a Victorian one, without P’s. And get a load of this: the complete love of my life, is now going out with someone. Couldn’t give us a chance (conceiving it was awkward), but every other Tom, Dick, and Harry does right? Great to find out on my birthday! Fuck. More interesting will be dinner with the families a little later…
