Some new stuff coming shortly…

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I know I’ve got two Encyclopedia entries almost finished. Almost. Hopefully have one done tomorrow.

Also the wife hasn’t had a good run recently at work. Wednesday and today were especially bad.

So I’m writing her a wee story to cheer her up. Just over 1000 words done from work today and I’ll get a bit more done tonight and tomorrow. If she lets me I’ll post it here.

Last FM

It’s some kind of online community music/radio thing. You can get a better explaination from the site.

I signed up for it, downloaded the media player and the plugin for Winamp and settled down to some new music.

The player allows you to search for “stations” that have music similar to any band you specify. So in went Yes and I was listening to King Crimson, Marillion, The Eloy and, strangely, Neil Young.

Recently I’ve let my musical interests get stale so this is a godsend.

Also they provide scripts for your website which lifts the name of the artist/track that you’ve just listened to and shows it to the world. Mine is in the footer.

And the player isn’t just available for Windows, so everyone can play…
