15/04/04: Spam And Radio

My e-mail address shown on my contact page is getting more and more spam. I will change it soon, beware!

I am again annoyed as I can't listen to the BBC anymore. This has worked for years with the venerable Real Player 8 for Linux. It seems that BBC has upgraded their servers and it just won't work anymore.

So I tried the Real Player One alpha without much luck. I couldn't see any Mozilla plugin in their package.

I then signed in to the Helix Communitypage so that I could try the Helix Player MS2. I got some assertion error: that's progress! Well I'll try to build the darn thing and see if I can make it work....

Had a kick to see that my friend Nick is the tech lead for the Unix player. Keep up the good work Nick!
