iRiver MP3-player

A friend of mine has been given an MP3-player of the brand iRiver. It's an old one in the IFP-700 series, not sure which one. Now, the problem is how to get it to work with Windows XP. A lot of old links to drivers have been found but they lead nowhere now. The drivers I do find are firmware drivers but my problem is that I get no contact between iRiver and Win XP, the iRiver cannot be installed as a removable device. Anyone out there who knows anything about this and want to share?

Audiomicro

Have you heard of AudioMicro? If you haven't, take a look at www.audiomicro.com. It's a stock music site, similar to the stock images sites around. Venturebeat has a good article about it, AudioMicro lands funds for stock music, sounds, and you can also check out AudioMicro at MySpace and Facebook. And by the way, my little composition "Apéritif" can be listened to there. This little tune can also be listened to at Ubetoo which is also a really interesting site for the composer looking for exposure.

Apéritif and electric cars

Here's a little tune from me. It's just a short little melody but quite nice and worth listening to, but that's just my opinion of course. ;-) Here's the link: Apéritif

And so, a reading tip. I'm so excited about all the new electric cars and it's so nice to see that there are not just boring ugly cars being developed but also sporty nice looking ones. So, if you know spanish, read what La Vanguardia has to say in El glamour ya es verde.

Electric cars on the move

The electric car is back! It's taken a while but the new electric cars are really interesting and especially the hybrids. The big problem has always been the charging issue, well, with a non-electric motor as a complement the hybrid cars more or less rid that problem. So, here are some links to more inspirational reading about the new and exciting electric cars:

• Electric cars are taking charge (In English)
• BILD testet das schnellste Elektro-Auto der Welt (In German)
• Chryslers Antwort auf den Tesla Roadster (In German)
• El primer deportivo eléctrico (In Spanish)
• Svenskt-norskt "El-dorado" på gång (In Swedish)

First post

Here's a new blog! Couldn't get the URL that I wanted since it was already in use, so I had to add "the" in it. Well, I'll survive...

Anyway, the title for this blog, "Mental Vagabond", is what I feel like so a bit of everything is to be expected on this blog. The focus will be on photography and graphics since that's something I really like doing. I publish my work here and there and links to my stuff will be provided.

Now, to start off in a nice way, here's an image of mine:
