The Moraff Blog

A new country has been formed in the Shetland Islands. It is called Forvik, and currently has a population of 1, and he appears to live in a tent. The country claims legitimacy based on interpretation of history and seems to be encouraging use as a tax haven. People are invited to become what I would describe as virtual citizens. This makes it in my opinion a virtual country as much as a physical country.

As the founder of Newland, I wish to concratulate Forvik on its declaration. Although I would like Newland to officially recognise Forvik, that cannot be done at this time because Newland does not have to functioning government that can make decisions and pass laws. Newland’s government remains in development.

Due to lack of support from users, Moraff’s Freedom Player is not being updated as you can see from this blog. Moraff is working on other projects, such as Newland and a language teaching program. The first version of the language teaching program is expected to teach English, Chinese, Russian, Italian, and Spanish. As it currently functions, it is second to none in building vocabulary. Release date is unknown.

This is an unusual song by Shara Worden, who seems to be an unusual singer. Check it out.

Above the Valley of the Gods in Utah.

Well, I forgot yesterday’s song of the day, so today it’s an extra good one with lots of little songs you can listen to.

The one I like is Ghi Terakita, just click it when you get to their website:

This is the same group as the previous song of the day. For tomorrow I’ll provide something totally different!

Pic of the Day: This is really cute when you see it full size!

Pic of the Day: This picture is of a lava flow in Hawaii. Behind the question mark is a surprise, but you have to click this link to find out what (and see the picture in high resolution)!

Just a few of days live with FreedomPlayer.com, and already serving a page a minute! Why don’t you users stop being strictly observers and write a few comments?

I can see by the traffic that users are downloading and using Moraff’s Freedom Player, and returning frequently to FreedomPlayer.com. So I am actively working on the player. Upgrades will be small, but frequent. This is user-supported software. So make your suggestions now, and help make this player all things to all people! If nothing else, just let me know in a comment how you use the player so that I can target development toward how users are using it.

This is cool vocal music. Here is the group’s site:
