The USB Crystalfontz 633 looks like it would be a good interface/controller. The LCD display is a little small and it is a bit pricey at $55. Still it's the best thing I've come across yet.

ASPI manager for USB devices

Looking at these sites has gotten me thinking:
mp3Mobile
MpegBox 2

Of course, those two blokes took the most respected path to geekiness by building their systems from scratch. However, i'm thinking that all that would really be needed is a fairly inexpensive laptop with at least a Pentium 233 MHz processor and a 4GB HDD, a cigarette lighter adapter to run the laptop off 12VDC power and one of those Sony headphone-tape cassette adapters to play audio through the car audio system.

Running Windows 9x you could then alter the SHELL= command to point to a user interface written in VB that automates WinAmp. The hardest part would be finding an input device so that you could skip tracks.

However, a rudimentary working system could be up and running with no interface whatsoever.

This is wrong. I cannot articulate why, but it just is.

Googling on the contents of the SDO file got me my answer.
SDO apparently means Set Database Options and is the file created
when VBA code in an MDB or ADP calls Application.SetOption to
configure settings found under Tools|Options in MS Access.

It seems that puTTY dumps crap in the root folder.

 Volume in drive C is Local Disk

  Volume Serial Number is 5C04-438C

Also, does anyone know what a .SDO file is?

No dice in trying to figure out what this SDO file with the same filename as an MDB I have under Source Code Control is. Google let me down: Your search - "Windows XP" "SDO file" "Microsoft Access" - did not match any documents.

What do you know, the abbreviation, UTF has an abbreviation (UCS) embedded in it. So UTF is "UCS transformation format".

"...established some state owned concerns such as Volkswagen to produce a cheap automobile for public use." How far has VW strayed from that original (admittedly fascist) goal when a fully loaded Touareg TDI costs almost twice what Cadillac's god-awful ugly piece of shit SUV costs at $68,000.

I've decided that the only possible use for this blog is as an archive for all the poor phrases that don't show up in a Google search. Here's the first entry in what is sure to be an vituperative display of the uninteresting:
"Catholic ass sex"

My apologies for using vituperative above. I've just been wanting to use that word all day long...I know it's nonsense.

Don't forget the naked womens. hohoho!!!

Listening to the Howard Stern freak show from Vegas yesterday while a family from the God Hates Fags organization competed in the karaoke contest. Small children (like 6 or 7) were singing "I'm shamed to be an American where the fags can freely roam". Any parent who does that to a child deserves a shotgun blast to the base of the skull. My only solace is that with fundamentalism it is impossible to tell the parody from the real thing. So it might just be an act.
