If anyone could tell me what's a Second Bad Vilbel, that'd be nice. But if anyone could tell me what unknown Autechre/Gescom record I jave just captured from this hard-to-read art site (under 'illegal', of course), that'd be nicer.¶

Speaking of illegal stuff, a new version of WinMX is now available, now it seems to have its own protocol, along with the dying Napster and dozens of OpenNap servers. Just don't forget to use a firewall if you live in a country where police goes after Napster users (like Belgium).¶

As seen on Slashdot: Denmark, a small country that doesn't export almost anything else but overrated moviemakers and beer (definitely it doesn't export musicians), is considering legalizing music sharing and weakening copyright laws. Mind you, this is very important indeed as Denmark is part of the EU. I hope naapstär.dk lives long enough until the EU decide to kick Denmark out because of this and their anti single currency tradition.¶

By the way, if you are stuck into Windows and have a reason not to use Internet Explorer (which is a MS product but a good one), and must use a Mozilla-type browser, you could try this one. It's based on older 0.6 build but at least never crashed on me. And it's way faster than NS6.¶

I spent some time finishing IF THEN ELSE at last, adding an archive viewing system and fixing a few CSS glitches. Many webloggers use Blogger which is fine for almost everyone, however I enjoy being different and I use a mix of my own PHP code along with a customized NewsPro, which is actually a news posting script meant for several users, but I rather use it instead of other blogging/journal scripts, as I feel much more comfortable with it and I kinda know NewsPro inside out. As always, I lost 90% of my time fixing things to prevent it from going wrong on Netscape, used by less than 10% of you. Netscape might have that guerrilla edge, but when I stay up late because of it I can't deny it: I am a Netscape hater.¶

I'm starting a new exhibition on We Are Unreasonable People, a few proto-goth images I created/bastardised for a production that was never finished. They are not my usual style, but I am so happy with those pictures I had to exhibit them.¶

The Monocromatica website has been updated yet again. Now that's a lovely logo! For those who don't know, it's a portuguese electronica record label run by a fellow blogger of mine at Cafeína. He has some nice music there, and a few MP3s to download, so I recommend it.¶
