Nov 29, 2005 - 15:33 | + 2 - 4 Freevo Update

Looks like I'm not the only one with a Freevo addiction. This guy wrote a blog about the whole experience... My goals are a little bit different, but it's interesting to see someone go through the same kinds of issues. Right now I'm trying to speed up the emulation of the zsnes emulator that Freevo uses for snes games. Also I think I need to make Freevo run in framebuffer mode to make everything feel smoother. After that, I'll try to clean everything up and make it all work well together. The wireless keyboard and mouse that I ordered from woot should make using it alot easier, since I won't have to be sitting right next to the screen :)

After I get everything together, I'll put together a small writeup of the experience (Paul).

Nov 19, 2005 - 19:26 | + 2 - 3 Free Music Online??

I found this link via digg.com (awesome site!). It covers some easy way to find music files (mp3,ogg,wma) online... The coolest and most powerful one is this google operator:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3|ogg) "put band name here"

Just put that into the google search box and change "put band name here" to whatever band you want to search for. Make sure you only look for legal music :)

Nov 10, 2005 - 15:11 | + 1 - 4 Happy (Belated) Birthday Firefox!!

Yesterday was the first anniversary of Firefox version 1.0 being posted on the web. You know a product is loved when people remember when it was first posted :)

Nov 03, 2005 - 17:34 | + 3 - 3 Browser Stats for Labowicz.com

This may be of interest to any web developers out there... or people who like firefox :) It seems as if this site gets a large number of visitors from people using "alternative" browsers. Hopefully as time goes on, more and more people will rid themselves of the scourge known as IE.
