Lifedrive with Debian

I'm trying to get LifeDrive to work with Debian. However, with jpilot I just keep getting

dlp_ReadSysInfo error
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT
Finished

most of the time and sometimes it just works...

IPodder not starting

If you are using IPodder (aka. Juice) on Linux and have a nasty problem of it suddenly refusing to start, try setting LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" or some other value that does not have special letters in the month or weekday names. This helped me with 2.1.9 on sarge. Thanks for yomguy for packaging.

Podcast about corsets

If you are interested in the business of corsetry, Mizzou Podcast might be of interest to you. It already has several episodes on the business of manufacturing and selling corsets.

IAudio players

IAudio players look good, especially as they officially support linux. I'm drooling at IAudio X5(L). IAudio U3 would be yummy too, but even harder to find for buying. However, Audible still continues to be a dilemma for me. I really like audiobooks but Audible still ignores linux users and uses it's nasty format.

Forget bomb making!

Internet taught me how to fix zippers. Then I went and fixed the zipper on the mobile phone pocket of my favourite bag and the zipper on the favourite (leather) coat of my husband's. Yeah!
