New Article: Custom Playlist Controls on Flowplayer with jQuery

Tech 2 Comments »

Flowplayer is an excellent flash media player, capable of playing video and audio. It comes with it’s own playlist system, but it’s very limited.

This article details how to create a custom playlist system for Flowplayer using jQuery and Flowplayer’s javascript API. This system will allow you to manipulate playlist items without interrupting current playback and adds several functions not available in the Flowplayer JS API.

AltNation Fan Station: AltNation for Last.fm

Music, Tech No Comments »

I love AltNation on Sirius. I listen to it more than any other station. But I recently learned that I could no longer listen to Sirius internet radio because they now charge you extra for it, even if you’re already a satellite subscriber. So I came up with the idea of writing a script that would automatically read songs recently played AltNation and add them to an “AltNation” user on Last.fm. Then from there I could listen to that user’s library.

Today I’ve finally put that idea in to action and created a user called AltNationFan that gets automatically updated with whatever songs AltNation has been playing recently using the Last.fm API.

As far as I can tell (I’m still relatively new to Last.fm), you can only listen to the station via the Last.fm client by adding AltNationFan to your friends list. If that’s the case, I’ll keep an eye on the account and accept any new friend requests that come in.

Am I the only one who sees this in the Left 4 Dead 2 poster?

(I couldn’t really decide what do use for the little girl as there are no girls in TF2.)

It’s that time of year again. Time for me to rant about games even though almost no one is going to read it.

Last year I ranted about games I didn’t really care for, so this time I’ll focus on what I’m looking forward too.

I Can’t Sleep and I’m Bored

So I’m going to write a bit about games.

So today I packed up my Wii and PS2 in to their original boxes, not because I’m moving, not because I’m shipping them, and not because I’m selling them, but because I just don’t play them anymore. Read the rest of this entry »

F-ck You, Nationwide Broadband Providers

Tech 2 Comments »

The nation’s broadband situation pisses me off. The big players (Comcast, ATT, Verizon, etc) claim to have nationwide service, but in the small town I live in, you can’t get any of them. They develop faster and faster services for their big city customers while my town gets shafted.

From looking at the big companies, you can get about 20 Mbps for about $60/mo, yet here the best $60/mo gets you is 3 Mbps, but even that has been as slow at 200 Kbps in the afternoons thanks to new sign-ups.

In a town where every middle school and high school student has a take-home laptop, we really need decent broadband service.
