The Andromeda Strain:
I’m still unpacking so I shouldn’t have been wasting time this morning getting jacked about Adromeda, a new multimedia program that allows you to stream your MP3 and video collection from a remote server. Imagine being stuck at the airport with your laptop and being able to listen to your whole music collection imprisoned back at home. The possibilites!
Forget it. I tried to download the thing after reading a profile of it in Shift. You get a line of script that you’re supposed to slap down on a server somewhere or plug into your site or something like that. Then there’s some business with IP addresses I didn’t get either.
*Pfffffttttt*
Brass Tacks: I’m don’t ask every piece of consumer software to be aimed at the idiot demographic I occupy. But for pete’s sake, somewhere in 800 words of adulation, you can squeeze in “basic server knowledge and your own web site required.” It’s not too much to ask.
