Blatant Plug

February 28th, 2005

I’ve signed up for the Amazon Associates programme so if you need anything from Amazon I’d be very grateful if you could buy it though a link on my site. There is a handy search box on the right hand side!

Automated “What I’ve been listening to” blogger

February 28th, 2005

The Problem

This is something I quite like the idea of. I’ve seen things for the Mac where it automatically uploads the currently playing track but since I listen to most music at work on my iPod I need something that will work at the end of the day

The Plan

  1. Create a playlist containing the top ten most recently played songs
  2. Use the iTunes COM Library to grab contents of the above laylist
  3. Use XML:RPC to post it to my blog
  4. Wonder why I bothered because nobody cares anyway

PI Squared

February 28th, 2005

I really like the design of the PI Squared website. They even have a Blog. I must admit I haven’t had much time to look at it yet (hence the relative silence on the blogging front for the last week or so).

I like the idea of the automated “What we’re listening to” bit. Think I might write something to export from iTunes for my blog.
