Converting audio files into ringtones for iphone on Linux
Hi,
These are baically notes for me, but it might help someone else. Needless to say, you can't connect an iphone to Linux yet without jail-breaking your phone, or buying another computer with a 'supported' OS like mac or windows. Bah!
Nevertheless, the tools on Linux are fantastic to edit sound and do gobs of other stuff...
1) ring tones have to be less than 30 seconds in length... so use Audacity to edit your favourite audio file to a nice <30 second clip.
2) Save that selection as a .wav (16 bit stereo PCM) file.
3) in a command prompt type something like this:
Web TV
The interesting thing is with watching shows on the web is there are places that you go for certain shows, a place for a collection of types of shows, but it is not always easy to find places you may not think to look for.
Here's a list of some:

Why Wordpress
Wordpress is a popular and versatile CMS - Content Management System.
It is great for a website that has a single author and straight forward navigation. This is the second CMS I recommend to people setting up websites. I waver between suggesting Wordpress or Drupal. Needless to say, I think either are great choices and you can do a lot worse. Take me on my word for that.

I've been using some form of Linux since around 1994 at about the same time I started using Windows NT. A lot has changed since then in both worlds. Back then, it was a dream to be able to use *nix on a regular computer. The stumbling blocks then were mainly storage. Hard drives were small, and so on. In the year 2000, I did dual boots and lilo boots until the year 2000 when I decided that Windows was not getting better, certainly not cheaper, and Linux, on the other hand was improving, what seemed to be, daily. Needless to say, I wasn't the faint of heart.
