It doesn't always sound natural, but oh well.
repitch: adjust audio by semitones during replay
It doesn't always sound natural, but oh well.
Requires a reasonably modern (only 3 years old or so) mplayer.
Specify audio file(s) on the commandline. During replay use the [ and ] keyboard shortcuts to adjust the pitch in semitones (half steps).

Recently I was googling for a script to compare tar files, and found references to a perl script (which I did not read) which reportedly did this by expanding both tar files and then diffing the trees. This would actually have been fine for my case, but some people noted that their use case involved tarfiles that were too big to extract comfortably. I assume that this is due to space considerations, but doubtless there are time considerations too.

Dropping Amazon Prime...
Reports are that Amazon has broken Amazon Instant Videos on Linux, Android, and XMBC.
I have no time for this kind of jackassery and have marked my Prime membership to not renew.
Honestly, their "free" video selection was pretty poor anyway, and I rarely watched it, but it was one of the items that made a Prime membership feel like it was worth more to me.

My old laptop, a Dell Latitude D830, was just shy of 5 years old, and I decided the time was right to buy a new laptop. So far, so good.
More new hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad T530

I've been spending some time working on Debian stuff, particularly packaging and porting for Debian kFreeBSD. Some time in the future I might wish to become a Debian Maintainer, and a step along the way is to begin using a GPG key.
