Yesterday (26th June 2007, US time) was the Day Of Silence for thousands of webcasters in the US. I tuned into 1.fm’s Top 40 online radio but the same lines were repeated for at least 30 minutes and that was when I found out that today (yesterday) is “Day Of Silence”!
On Tuesday, June 26, thousands of U.S.-based webcasters plan to turn off the music and go silent in a unified effort to draw attention to an impending royalty rate increase that, if implemented, would lead to the virtual shutdown of this country’s Internet radio industry.
“Silence” may occur if extremely-high royalty rates are going to be charged. Most webcasters will go bankrupt if there’s a royalty hike. It’s that bad! I don’t think there’s anything much I can do coz I’m not in the states. But bloggers, please spread the word and let the whole world know. Don’t let music die!
How to help?

Apple had released the Windows version of Safari, world’s 3rd ranked web bowser. You didn’t read wrongly. Yes, Apple wants a better market share for Safari.
The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.
And it executes JavaScript up to 2.8 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.
What does all that mean for you? Less time loading pages and more time enjoying them.

According to Engadget, Apple has confirmed the release date for iPhone. [..]
As usual, Apple releases their products on Tuesdays; 29th June is another Tuesday.
I want my iPhone!I haven’t got a new phone for quite some time already. But I must think twice before I buy that phone. The DRM in it, the price that I’m going to pay, the bugs that I will face. Heh. Till then.

Actually, I do not know what to blog about, lately. I seem to have nothing to update everyone.
Some points that you probably wouldn’t care:
Okay, that’s all for the randomness.
I renewed 2 domains yesterday. Getting poorer day by day. Renewed felixker.com 2 weeks ago for 2 years.
I went for a haircut today. My hair didn’t go much shorter, just tidier. I’m waiting for my hair to grow. The Creative Director sprayed some ‘hair tonic’ for me and hopefully I can feel the difference after 1-time usage. I’ll go back and buy if I feel the difference.
I must comment that the new-comer there didn’t shampoo my hair properly. I’m never going to let him shampoo my hair again, unless there’s no other staffs to choose from. He cannot handle the foam well, neither can he massage my head well. But he did quite well at massaging my shoulders (CAN ANYONE HELP ME MASSAGE?)
I’m a massage lover. Waiting for someone who reads my entry and massages for me without me requesting. I would be too shy to request from anyone, really.

While using gcc on a newly installed system you may get:
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
This is a common problem, but with a simple solution.
On debian:
apt-get install libc6-dev
On Fedora:
$ locate crt1.o
/usr/lib/crt1.o
On Ubuntu:
apt-get install libc6-dev
{ If not root, sudo apt-get install libc6-dev }
