Civilized Man

Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all men are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all men ... Shall we ... be able to speak of mankind as civilized.

The Fate Of All Mankind

"Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules.  The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools." (Peter Sinfield, lyrics sung by the rockband, King Crimson from the book, The End Of Reason by Ravi Zacharias, p. 116)

I regret that I converted some of my music files to the WMA format rather than the MP3 format.  The MP3 format works nicely with Spotify, Google Music and Box.net.  I found and installed a program that converts from WMA to MP3.  It converted several files without any problem.

I needed to convert a Powerpoint slide show to a PDF file.  My first attempt using Google Docs didn't work properly.  On some slides the footer text moved up into the text of the slides.  Last night I found an online conversion program which accomplished the task.  Today I'll upload the slide show to the computer club website.

If you are interested in recording the streaming audio from some Internet radio stations take a look at StreamWriter.  There are over five thousand stations in the list the program can access.  It's possible to record from more than one station at a time.
