I don’t think I’ve seen anyone maintaining packages for the excellent MiniDLNA media server for Debian or Ubuntu. The instructions provided here should work for both Intel and PPC builds (maybe others?) of Ubuntu and Debian Linux.
Run this command to get the pre-req packages needed to build MiniDLNA:
sudo apt-get install libexif-dev libjpeg62-dev libid3tag0-dev libflac-dev libvorbis-dev [...]
Here’s a lazy liner that I cooked up to rip music from MixRiot.com – simply replace the URL variable with the page that contains the music and it will dump the music using wget with an MP3 extension!

Modeled after falling maple seeds, this tiny autonomous monocopter has one asymmetric wing and rotates along it’s center of mass to produce lift. On-board camera at about 5:40 into the video, Hack A Day suggested using the microcontroller to take a snapshop at the same position of rotation to make one stable video.
Signs of a culture moving forward, or just frivolous waste of government money? Finland has announced that by next July, 1mbit broandband internet access, which is roughly 20 times quicker than dial up (assuming a generous 50kbps assumption for dial-up) is now a legal human right. While it’s certainly a step towards the future, Finland still plans [...]
So long “Chronos”, it’s been one hell of a five year (going on it’s sixth) ride. All the abuse you took from me, being more or less on 24×7, overclocked from 3.2GHz to 4Ghz, watercooled, and on it’s 4th motherboard and second CPU.
This computer has carried me through countless nights of Starcraft and Counter-Strike, then [...]
4 years, over 100 grand, and endless repetition “you must use your e-mail account”, then after graduating and 6 months later, they delete it. I was too busy in the midst of relocating my life halfway across the country, never mind accepting a new job the education helped to provide, and now my account [...]
If you haven’t already, head on over to FaceBook and set your username, so you can get (ugh) MySpace style pages – for example my FaceBook page is now http://www.thefacebook.com/andrewpeng
Also, apparently since I am old school, I keep logging in to http://erau.thefacebook.com.
Yep.
More updates working on implementing a mod_rewrite\Apache implementation of mod_secdownload – just finished coding in a public key encryption verification for the script, basically the same method as implemented in mod_secdownload. Whew, I’m pooped, goin’ to sleep.
