To support their cause, Purebuttons.com purchased Radiohead’s new album for $1,000.

It’s a cool idea. Recently, Madonna also cut ties with her record label, as have Oasis (they’re still around?). It will be interesting to see how this will affect contract negotiations between labels and artists in the future.
I tried getting the word out through some people in the class that I’m going to be in the MIDS lab at 4:30 tomorrow. I’ll be available to help anyone if they need it. I plan on answering specific questions for the first 10 minutes or so while everyone shuffles in, then I will spend the rest of the time walking through how I would do the assignment.
Additionally, you should use some of Nikhil’s files as a reference. You can get them at http://magpie.case.edu/~aah16/ldap.zip. That should provide you with a good starting point.
Again, I encourage you to subscribe to this site via e-mail or RSS. That is the best way I know of getting information out to everyone.
OK, in my last post I showed you how to edit files on Magpie using a program called WinSCP3. However, that program just allowed you to transfer the files between your Magpie and your computer, but you had to use something else to actually edit the files (WinSCP3 does have a crude editing program built-in but it is not designed for what we want to do). What if you could edit the files and transfer them to and from Magpie all in the same program?
This will probably be my last post regarding MIDS 385 unless someone has a specific question about how to do something for the class. If there is enough demand, I will continue to post tutorials when my schedule allows.
