Reply-To: david@weekly.org From: update@david.weekly.org Subject: List Archives, ISBN, Aris & SDMI, Community Audio, Links To: update@david.weekly.org a u g u s t 1 3, 1 9 9 9 ----------------------------- Update #9 ----------------------------- -----<< Introduction >> There are now exactly 2^8 (256) people on my mailing list. Hello, everyone! If this is your first update, check out the online archive of past updates: http://david.weekly.org/update.php3 I retouched the front page and added a bunch of new sections to the sidebar. (Which the more astute of you will realize is now alphabetically sorted...) Please feel free to give feedback on any or all of these changes. -----<< ISBN >> "MP3 and Internet Audio: Cut Through the Hype" (the working title to my book) now has an International Serial Book Number: ISBN 0-7615-2484-3. This means that the book is officially registered as having begun development! Cool, but now I have to go and write the thing... =) -----<< Aris & SDMI >> The SDMI committee decided last week on which technologies they would incorporate into the specification. But they listed only one compliant watermarking technology: Aris! This means that Aris now has a virtual monopoly on the future of music. =/ http://david.weekly.org/writings/aris_sdmi.php3 -----<< Community Audio >> Just for kicks, I've put up a little community audio board, courtesy PageTalk. Go to the page, hear the current message, then leave your own message for the next guy! =) http://david.weekly.org/board.php3 I'm thinking about adding the ability for people to submit commentary on articles on my website. What do you all think? I'm also looking at a general text board, live chat (at scheduled times) and live audio chat (also at scheduled times): sound good/awful/great/stupid? Tell me what you think and I'll act on it. -----<< Links >> I've added a section with links to various interesting sites, including my regular chills, places that post my articles, and media snippets. More sections may be popping up soon, and if at least 5 people on this list request it, I'll add a section for "websites of people on my mailing list!" =)
