eMusic is a DRM-less mp3 music
store and I have had an account for about a year. Until today I had been using
a download manager written in Perl but it was a pain because of the EMusic.pm
library it required. Then today just as I was starting to write my own I found
this lovely Python script called: dromanova.py. It is perfect for
assigning as the default Firefox action for .emp files. Enjoy!
ifup.org is the weblog of Brandon Philips and contains excerpts from my code, work and play.
I write Linux software and work on the systems layer of Linux. In the last two years I have helped to organize Linux Plumbers Conf and Freedom HEC Taipei. It has been rewarding to bring together these communities to discuss current Linux issues.
Robotics is another passion and I had the opportunity to mentor a FIRST Robotics team in Portland recently too. I also continue to work with my friend Ron Jackson to build some neat USB devices for robotics.
