bit blue blog: Joost :: Andreas Bitterer ::

Perspectives, opinions, comments and rants.

No theme is excluded here, although most of the posts will be about technology, music, travelling, and politics. BTW, did you notice that the word "politics" is really an accurate description: "poli" is Greek and means "many" and "tics" are "ugly blood-sucking creatures". So there.

Joost

OK, I know I haven't been very active on this blog in the recent past. Quite a few have complained that the last post is months old, and I really don't have many excuses, other than that things were really busy over here lately. I wish I could say that I've been watching television most of the time. Not quite, but I wanted to say that this Joost idea is really how TV should be. It's like TVoIP, only that it doesn't include all the basic channels (yet). My daughter would argue, though, that MTV is the only relevant channel anyway. My friend Marc sent me an invite to the Joost community, a quick install (on a decent machine, better have lots of graphics memory!) and you can view channels that you have never heard of. How about an Italian soccer channel that shows a program with (what they call) the 200 best goals ever. Includes old footage of Gerd Müller at the 1974 World Cup. Funny stuff. If you are more into boxing or indycar racing (I'm not), they've got you covered.

If you would like an invite, drop me a line. In the meantime, I'm working on some musical tracks, that I'll post here soon. Stay tuned, through video, audio, or otherwise.
