Good music, randomized

Captain Obvious here. I've realized that when I find an mp3 file I like on our White House filesystem, I can just symlink it into, say, ~/Music, then do 'mplayer -shuffle *.*' that dir to get randomized musical goodness.

After reading about it in a blog post this evening I installed Inconsolata by Raph Levien, and it's been a great comfort to my old tired eyes. If you're running ubuntu just do "sudo apt-get install ttf-inconsolata" to install it.
