I really am working -- I swear. I've got the article outline forming up.

I'm listening to AfterhoursDJs.org, though; I discovered today that DJ Ciacomix has a regular show Mondays from 13:00 to 15:30. I love this guy. His occasional comments, rather than being irritating (I really dislike people who interrupt my music) are entertaining enough that he makes me laugh. That's always a good thing.

It's fortunate I ran across him now, as I have a mix he did two years ago which I loved, but his accent is so thick (he's in Germany) that I couldn't make out who he was on that recording. Now I know his name, and I can get more of his really good European trance. In fact -- insert GEEK tag here -- I set up a cron job to run every Monday at 12:55 with a timed run of streamripper to catch the show. So long as I have disk space, I won't miss it. It reminds me of the old days of programming my VCR... ;)

I'm running this show through streamripper too, of course. Wonderful program. It has an option to retransmit the stream on a localhost port of your choice, so I pointed xmms to that to listen in while I record. (Oh, and I fixed xmms today as well, for extra bonus happiness. It just needed to be pointed to the correct sound output.)

I donated $50 to AHDJs last month, when I still had funds, and they sent me a t-shirt as a thank-you gift. Nice people. :)

Edit: Bah, it's 2:30 and he's signed off already, leaving me to listen to really dull canned music. I hope next week is better.
