Today I had to squish lots of little MP3s into big fat ones. The utility was taking an aeon even with keyboard shortcuts, with all the highlighting and sorting and whatnot, so I fired up the ol' DOS window, rattled off a bit of code and it was over in a trice.

Sometimes there's nothing for it but to kick it old style. If that's the expression.

Word. I do enjoy getting pixels all over my fingers with a nice bit of code.
