Install on Redhat EL5:

Googled for “nss-mdns rpm redhat” and found nss-mdns-0.10-2.el5.i386.rpm downloadable from atrpms.net.

As root:
# yum install nss-mdns*.rpm

# vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
replace hosts line with:

Install on Ubuntu 704 Server:
$sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns

This will install, configure and start the avahi-daemon process. It will also edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to include mdns in name resolution.

And then the iPod came along and everything changed. It’s funny to see that the iPod doesn’t actually match up to the high requirements I originally set.

Stuart Cheshire popped up on my Ipod today in a Podcast recorded by IT Conversations. There is now a plug in for Asterisk, the open source PBX, to automatically configure SIP clients. This is a very cool application for Bonjour. Bonjour could basically enable seamless VOIP roaming between networks. This may be the application that finally gives Bonjour the accolade it deserves.

Comment on Philips SBA290 Compact Travel Speakers by .k

i just bought the same unit. the power adaptor is a dissapointment, but you can always get a spare one for us voltage, just note the output power of 9V/ 500mA, and also check the polarity.

i wonder why the manual states “do not use rechargable batteries”?

anyway, i bought 6 GP rech.batteris 1000mAh each, and after 6 hours, still playing at full volume.

Comment on Pandora - Free Personalised Web Radio by Cousin Lynn

Hey Cous’,
Pandora sounds so cool. What will they think of next.

You have really opened up my mind to some interesting new music and I must check out your Trip Hop Lounge station soon.

Tell Julie that I have now listened to her favourite Goldfrapp CD and I like it…it’s good dance music. As for Kaiser Chiefs (or Handkerchiefs as Reiss calls them), I play that CD over and over and over in my car on my way home from work. It makes me smile every time, so I can see why Reiss enjoys this CD.

Comment on Collected - The Best Of Massive Attack by Cousin Lynn

Cousin Lynn — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 23:13:29 +0000

Hey Cous’
You’ve got me curious about Massive Attack and I’ve heard them mentioned on TV too, but haven’t heard any of their music. What category would they fall under, if I look for them at a CD store? (I hate to show my ignorance by asking a salesclerk.)

As for the Ipod…I’ll probably buy one when it’s gone out of style!

I’m not sure what eprops are…but I’m guessing they are sort of like gold stars rewarded to the writer. In any event, I’ve noticed that the general rule of thumb is to hand out 2 eprops unless you’re commenting on your own site, then it’s 0 eprops.

The best place to get Scott’s books is at Dragon Moon Press (http://www.dragonmoonpress.com/). I bought my Dad a copy from them for Christmas.

Hey Cous’,
It seems that Earthcore is not easy to find in bookstores. But I’m still searching and will let you know once I track it down. I may check the local library next.
