Hello,

Here I am stuck with my dissertation and no inspiration to write. I think will make it until the deadline, which means I have some time for a post now and then. :)

Well, let me start thanking you all for the awesome response to my request to answer the questionnaire. 525 people went to the website and shared their information on how they use the internet and what security measures they apply at home. This is much more than what I needed and will help me very much to get a good mark in my project.

THANK YOU very much for that.

Apart from that I have been listening to music a lot while I write. Because of that I have been looking into new sources of music, like online radios and getting some new MP3s. Of course it is very easy to get bored with radios playing the same type of music all the time and the MP3s being all from the same old favorite artists. After a while, I decided to see my old archives and found a link to a fantastic service I have not been using for a while.

Pandora is a service put up by the Music Gnome Project. Their aim is to analyze what music genre is all about and for that they offer a free streaming radio! The way it works is that you inform an artist or a song you like, Living Colour for example, and then they play music from that artist and many other songs from similar artists. If you don't like one song that is being played, you just come in and click "I don’t like that music!". They go to the next one! If you like it, you can say: "Hey, I like that music!" and more music will be played in your "station". That way they map what you like and offer you music from similar genres. Is a great way of knowing more music and bands and giving them a hand on their mapping.

So, if you like, point your browser to Pandora and start listening! I'm sure you will like it! :D

Enjoy!

Daniel
