  • Stream your Windows desktop using ffmpeg

    I’ve already covered how to do this with vlc a while back in parts 1 followed by part 2.

  • Amon Tobin rocks my world….

    Well, just finished listening to the full ISAM release by Amon Tobin on SoundCloud. Wow, dynamite. If you like electronic music, you really should check this out.
