Got an idea to pull in my twittering to the sidebar. I know it exists already but knd of looking forward to writing it myself. Javascript is like a baseball glove. My plan is to pull the whole page (unless there's an RSS) via javascript and then find the start tag of the twitted text and pull each consecutive line to a string until reaching the end tag. I could then adapt the script for a bunch of stuff.
‘Bad’ BitTorrent and Warez Sites Raided By Police

>Swine Flu
>There’s a “swine flu pandemic” on the news, but the news has been looking for a good widespread disease to report on since mad cow. Bird Flu, Swine Flu… so far 150 cases of people actually dying from it. The (straight up, no frills) flu has killed over 15,000 this year and the swine flu makes the news. I don’t have the swine flu but I do have some odd type of sickness. I’ve been feverish for days with all the normal feverish stuff. I then take 1 ibuprofen, 200mg, and everything goes away.

>Randy Boyer’s New Track
>Randy Boyer just came out with a new track:Randy Boyer & Kristina Sky (ft Cari Golden) – No Limit – check it out if you’re a fan of trance / dance. I’ve also seen a couple remixes of his around like this one for darude.

He introduced me and I caught a show this winter at room 960 in the middle of a blizzard (which s the start to any great story in New England). It was…
>Baby Got (Music) Back
>Oh… so nice. I just re-downloaded much of the old music I had purchased off iTunes. iTunes finally went full DRM free – 256k, not the best but almost. 320k is the most you can get normally and most pop tunes won’t fill that bandwidth on VBR (variable bit rate – adjusts the size to fit how complicated the music is). In any case there were a lot of tracks I had lost when the mac harddrive originally went – I had backed it up but I hadn’t gotten them all. At the time Pepsi was doing their promotion. 1…
YouTube may not be free for much longer
Doubt this – it’s all about the video ads. What they’re claiming is true about advertisers doesn’t reflect the recent ads I saw for Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Amazon while watching the lego version on Youtube.”Do to its tremendous bandwidth costs — and relatively menial advertisement revenue — YouTube, owned by Google, is losing $500 million per year. Free internet video may become a relic soon enough.” ~ brought to you by Charter read more | digg story *2012 04 24* Still free…

So check it out – I had mixed it up a while ago but since I had recorded of sirius it had a couple dead spots, I’ve done my best with this version to blend the dead spots out, you can probably still hear them, but this mix would be top notch if not for those IMHO. =) Morgan Page – The Longest Road (WijiX…
