As I said this morning, I haven’t been reading blogs much, so I haven’t had much to say in Geek Notes, but I have been collecting things in my “Geek Notes working copy” in BlogJet that you might enjoy, so here’s what I have today.
MakeMeAdmin Follow-up – Aaron Margosis has posted an important follow-up to his MakeMeAdmin tools and also explains some very important issues regarding the “default owner” issues on Windows XP. A must-read post if you are running non-admin.
iTunes SDK for Windows – As I mentioned the other day, I’m doing a lot of bittorrent downloads of live music. The goal for me is to get it into iTunes so I can get it into my iPod Shuffle. The conversion from FLAC/SLN to MP3 is easy… a quick batch file and I’m done. But I wanted to do the iTunes import too. Looks like it may be possible with the IITLibraryPlaylist::AddFiles method. We’ll see. [via Dan Crevier]
Skeleton Sketches – This is a cool gallery of sketches done Michael Paulus. “I decided to take a select few of these popular characters [Ed: from 60s cartoons] and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.” [via AaronX]
Giant Steps – My good friend Karl Hungus (sic) sent this to a mailing list we are on together. It is an amazingly cool Flash animation put to the music of John Coltrane’s Giant Steps.
How Not to Teach Your Kids About Gun Safety – I can’t believe this guy kept going with the demonstration after shooting himself in the leg… or is it a fake? Looks pretty real.
