LinuxA friend was wanting to extract the mp3s from the OTH archive, but because of the non-standard naming structure it wasn’t just a regex on .mp3 files.
I wrote this bash script to properly extract the urls. Sure you could use regex to trim it down a bit, I just didn’t see the need to. It requires bash, wget, internet connection, and considering the number of mp3s a decent one at that **56k beware**.

Computers, LinuxI mentioned a few problems with Ubuntu, well I was able to figure out the problem…. sorta. I was booting to Ubuntu via lilo which was on BackTrack, I guess grub sets it up as a scsi device because when I reinstalled Ubuntu and booted with grub my problems went away and hdparm gave a much different output. I am moving files over right now to another machine so that I can wipe the laptop, start over with a 100% linux laptop. I will be running either VMWare player on it or VirtualBox for both Windows and BackTrack. I do however wonder how my RAM is going to react to that.
I have another update I am going to post next week that will hopefully be great news but for now it is a big secret ;-D
