beaTunes

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

beaTunes is an iTunes companion app capable of automatically analyzing your music collection to help you build better playlists. It analyzes BPM (beats per minute), silence at the beginning or end of a song, and the color (based on frequency spectrum) of a given song. Some of the data is stored through iTunes, and some is stored by beaTunes itself. Additionally, beaTunes can suggest albums that would complement your music collection and display music charts. It also allows you to blog about selected songs or playlists.

Ensure your wireless linux box is always connected

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

wifiroamd is a background program which tries to just do the right thing to bring up your wireless network. Simple yet customizable init.d-like scripts are used to determine which networks are preferred and do things like set the ESSID or WEP keys. Other advanced functionality such as bonding of wired and wireless devices is also automated.

I just installed the rpm, created a mac:00:12:17:B1:BA:AA file (where 00:12:17:B1:BA:AA is my router’s wireless MAC address) in /etc/wifiroamd/connections with contents:

WIFIROAMD_IWCONFIG_KEY=abcdeabcdeabcdeabcde

(but with my proper MAC address and WEP key ;) ) and started the daemon through the init script.
