“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.

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…

  • "... the complete love of my life, is now going out with someone."

    Recommended way forward: break off all contact until you're emotionally over her/him. It could be a while, but that's ok.

    "... the complete love of my life, is now going out with someone."

    Recommended approach: break off all contact until you emotionally recover. It could be a while, but it'll work.

    Yep, soundjuicer does it, you "just" need to set it up using a completely separate program.
    This was covered on fedora-test-list :)
  • First, sound juicer does mp3 just fine, you just need to add the support in gstreamer. See www.fedorafaq.org/#rhythmbox-mp3 for instructions on how.

    And about mono, there has been some effort by people in the community to build some mono packages. There's the go-mono packages of course, they work. In addition the livna.org guys did build some mono packages, but I don't know what it led too. See http://rpm.livna.org/~anvil/MONO/ for the basic packages and talk to Anvil about the future of mono packaging.

    In addition, nrpms.org has a mono repository with a lot of mono stuff already built. Sadly it requires you to replace some core packages (dbus) for it to work properly, see http://www.nrpms.net/Packages/fedora-3-i386/pro...

    Unifing the existing efforts with some proper organisation would seem to me as the best solution for the mono issue.

    Install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio if you want Sound Juicer to do MP3.
