I saw the interview a couple days after hearing about the debacle.  I used
to get some of her twitters, but she is as enamored with herself as she
seemed with Zuckerberg.

I've been torrenting sxsw music since I sent this email out, it's really
slow.  I always expect some slowness due to the nature of dsl, but I'm
crawling around with this download this time.  Hopefully you have better
luck.  Seed. Seed. Seed, if you can.

Hey Mike, thanks for this tip.  I may have to finally torrent something.  

XM's The Verge channel covered it last year and yes, there were a ton of new
artists, some of which were worth listening to!  (They had veterans Naked
Raygun (!) there last year.)  SXSW is one of the better excuses to go and
visit Austin.

It is about more than music though; it also covers the technology and
culture behind music.   Just for larfs, you have to check out (if you
haven't seen it already) this train-wreck of an interview with Facebook CEO
Mark Zuckerberg by a self absorbed and smitten interviewer.  It's like
watching a tipsy mom hitting on her teenage son's friend.

it is a fast way to download as the file you get comes in multiple parts
simultaneously (torrents) and is assembled as it goes along ...in return for
that, your part is to let the file be simultaneously uploaded to others who
request it ...I do it sometimes ...there are stand alone torrent clients to
acomplish this, but I have chosen the lazy man way to this end as Opera
browser has the bittorrent client built in for free and, if active (there is
a toggle in the prefs), it works just like any download.  Once the download
is done, it shows "sharing" in place of "in progress" and, if you close the
browser, it will resume the get but NOT resume the share.  Very nice.

I know this isn't quite a computer topic but it does relate to digital music
so..

The South by Southwest music festival takes place soon and this link is to
torrents to download almost 6 gigs of music to fill up your ipod...or really
cheap player you may regret buying.  I got all of it last year and after
spending much time going through it, I found quite a lot that was good and
expect the same this year, so if you are into music and want to put a whole
lot of it on your ipod at once this is a great chance to do so.
