…and I’m happy to say that based on a quick check it *appears* to work on Amarok now.
(And it was not even Amarok’s fault. Apparently, something in Debian’s libxine1 was messed up.)

While listening to episode 18 and taking the subway I noticed someone reading the newspaper of the day with on the front page, in the right upper corner the Wikipedia globe. That was a nice surprise.

Possibly for the next “World According to Wikipedia”:
While it only made the top 1000 on Wikicharts, and will likely be knocked out of that by the time you do the next podcast, “And did those feet in ancient time” made #999.
It’s totally weird, because it’s just a poem used as a soccer chant. There’s nothing in the news that would have sparked it to this level. The two minds behind the song “C. Hubert H. Parry” and “William Blake” aren’t in the top 1000, and the only news about Blake is that he inspired a Doors lyric, and the Doors have a new record best-of release out.
I dunno, I just find it all totally weird. Weirder than Naruto.
