Ouch! I know some people that are so in love with Microsoft’s products that they would take great delight at being in your situation. I don’t care much for Linux any more but I’m not so sure I’m ready to lube-up for Bill just yet :-)

I had to be Bill Gates’ ass slave for 3 weeks…

Tooling around by hand… isn’t that the only way to tool around? All space fillers are welcome, and yes, this Jolyon dude is a former employee of your former employer.

I added my two cents worth to your blog but it appears as a comment from “(no name)” because Windows Live hates me or something… I even tried adding a profile (justgimmeaprofiledamnit.spaces.live.com) but it now says that I have to request permission to view my Live Space, even though I’m logged in as me). Who did you have to bribe at Microsoft to get through?

*Gasp* You actually wrote something in a M$ language? Damn, what happened to you China, you used to be cool… Seriously though, I’m sure someone will make use of this handy little util. Personally, I make sure I rip my CD’s with something that supports CDDB, or just download a compilation that someone prepared earlier (only if I own a copy of the material I am downloading of course…) Thusly, I dont have to do any of that tooling around by hand. I’m sure you want to hear all about how I do things too, meh, just consider the last two sentances as space fillers.

Now, this Jolyon dude that commented previous, he was from Tamworth right? Did he ever work for those dodgey buggers at CPS like me? Shout out to you dude if you are said person, part of my past I wish I could forget as well… :-D

Hey Jolyon, long time no see/hear :) I must admit to never even considering the LAME command-line option. This year I’ve switched from Java Servlets to ASP.NET (C#) for my uni major project so I needed some practice with Visual Studio.

Recently I used a FOR statement to convert a bunch of images using ImageMagick, which is much easier than trying to sift through the internet’s large collection of really crappy (spyware riddled?) programs for doing the same. But, can a FOR statement recursively process subdirectories, read a value in a TXT file, and use different switches for different levels, all in one statement? I’d bet you could do that with BASH in Linux, but I’m not sure Windows’ command prompt is quite up to the task :)
