Do yourself a favor and hop over to an article titled Weblog link borrowing/pilfering dispute at the Literary Saloon. My take on the subject: If someone doesn't want to be linked to, he/she should start a subscription service and leave the rest of the blogging world alone. Regarding the 'Amazon' links, yessssssssssss. ;-)

daypop is online again. Must have been the backup or my ISP's DNS was screwing up again.

From the stupid one-liners department:
If you need to figure out the size of files in a directory including directories, you can try this:
du -sk * | sort -n | awk '{print "MB:",$1/1024,"KB:", $0}'
This should work on almost every flavor of *NIX. It's not pretty, but hey, we're talking one-liners here, especially ones that work more or less independent of age of the *NIX system.

Can't confirm this, but daypop seems to be dead. I'll try to find out more and keep you posted.

The, IMHO, only reliable news source in the world, BBC, released a report that play.com caved and settled out of court with the monopolists. No more CDs without the blessings of the DRM crapsters, too bad.
