Slashdot | Winamp 2 Winamp 3 = Winamp 5!

Arg, presents somewhat of a dillema. Up until now, my favored mp3 player has been zinf. Simply because it was the best friggin mp3 player out there. It is also Free Software, which is a BIG plus.

I would stay with Zinf except that one feature in in Winamp that isn’t in Zinf and that is sorting music by the folder that it’s in. I have all my albums quite well organized in folders, but the mp3s don’t nessisarily have the correct ID3 info, so in the zinf Media manager it sort of mixes them all up.

So Winamp 5 is now on my computer, and I’ll be trying it out. If I like it better then Zinf I will switch completely.

The Zinf project is also a bit dead.

surefish.co.uk - the christian ethical ISP for adsl broadband, flat rate and pay as you go internet access

This is not an advertisement, I’m in no way affiliated with the above company, just found it interesting.

I saw someone with a @fish.co.uk email address which brought me to this “Christian Ethical ISP” ISP. At first I found it rather amusing, and potentially a bit “over the top” as far as that kind of thing goes.

After a few clicks however I found some rather interesting things, such as their Ethical Policy. Second part is the best:

Wherever possible partners will be chosen that deliver both a quality service and make a positive ethical impact on the world. Not everything on offer is 100% ethical, but where there are issues we let you know what they are and show how you can find out more or take action.

For instance for some ‘essential’ services, such as air travel, there is no positively ethical partner available. Such services will still be provided in order to raise revenue for Christian Aid. The best available partner will be chosen and their status will be made clear.
