Found a list of crazy patents today. Some of them are really funny, such as the Religious Meditation Apparatus and Vehicle mounted toilet seat.

Great new stuff for the 1.0.7
A lot of nice things has happened in the 1.0.7 branch of mmsv2. A new graphical audio mode has been implemented (screenshots) and today I finally got a chance to look into the kcachegrind tool which I mentioned in an earlier blog post. I found two major sources of performance degration and fixed them. Performance should be a lot better for image heavy stuff (pictures and graphical modes) and for large folders/playlists.
In other news Fredrik Wikström has implemented a plugin so that one can write python scripts for the next big release of mmsv2. This is really one of the coolest things anyone has contributed to mms and I’m really psyched to find out what things people will produce using it.
I’ve been watching quite a lot of movies lately and not to long ago I rated the 200th movie on imdb (yeah for nice round numbers :)). I really like imdb a lot. It’s very easy to find information about movies and the rating seems to be very fair (well at least most of the time :)). It is a lot better than what you find then looking at the cover of movie at the video store (How anyone can give Brothers Grimm 5/5 stars is really beyond my comprehension ;-)). Here you can see the ratings.
