Last FM is the well not new but now legal play what you want internet radio station. And it has its own client so you can play outside of the browser. This is a feature I have always wanted from Pandora. On top of that the client comes in several flavors Windows Apple and Linux and if you use a Debian derivative distro you can install and maintain via apt. Very impressive.

Pandora the custom internet radio company, will be blocking the UK from accessing the station as of the 15th of Jan 08. This is due to licensing issues with the music companies not going well. The UK was the only country out side the US that was able to get the system and there was some thought that the UK would let the add based company stream there radio. But this is not to be the case. There is also concern that the station might be forced off the wires in the US as well in the future. If you haven’t used Pandora before I urge you to have a look before you are unable to again.

Yet another nail in the media revolution coffin. Lets hope Jobs will cheer every one up next week.

The lost casts guys are back on the wire just before series 4 starts to air in the US. Cant wait to hear more from them. Also I just wanted to link this guy not that he isn’t popular enough or that linking him here will help. Johnny has done some really cool projects over the years more recently he has done alot with the Wii Mote that mos people will have seen all over the net. but I think that some of his other projects are of possibly greater note have a look.

I have also recently moved to another new server with more power and before it was really commissioned we purchased its replacement well this server will become a fail over node but that isn’t important. And we are now running ISPCP in anger. we have had to make several changes to the system to make it work the way we need and want it to but nothing to dramatic.  More info on ISPCP issues to follow.

Secondary DNS is a bit of an issue that is yet to be sorted fully in ispCP but if you want to do some hosting with it it is a requirement. So here is the documentation of the way we have implemented secondary DNS within ISPCP. (continue reading…)

I just had to post these links as I found them tonight and they are quite scary in the way they put info together to get an interesting picture of people. First up is http://centralops.net/ This site can give you some detailed info on domains well worth a try but not just whois it can also do a server scan. Then there is this http://serversniff.net/ way to much info from a server than is healthy. And finally there is this http://www.paterva.com/web/Maltego/ which puts it all together and joins up the dots and the gui when available is really sick.
